As Built Surveys
When making improvements to municipal, commercial, and residential properties, builders and local authorities often require as-built surveys to ensure the project is going as planned. We can perform such surveys with the highest degree of accuracy, which satisfies state and local requirements and helps contractors measure progress.
What is an As-Built Survey?
Unlike boundary or land surveys that measure the features of land, as-built surveys are intended to show improvements to the land as they occur. All commercial and residential improvement and construction projects begin with site plans, which show the dimensions and location of proposed additions.
By comparison, as-built surveys measure such improvements as they are built, ensuring their compliance with site plans. Depending on the scope and size of a project, multiple as-built surveys may occur at different stages.
When As-Built Surveys Are Recommended or Required
Typically, state and local zoning boards require one or more as-built surveys during a project to ensure that improvements are being done in compliance with regulations and on-file plans. As far as frequency and detail are concerned, the rules for these surveys may vary according to local rules. Even if not required by local authorities, a contractor may request several as-built surveys to determine a project’s progress and ensure that it’s going as planned.
If variances or errors occur during construction, it’s easier and less expensive to make adjustments as things progress than it is to do so after the project is finished. Builders may need as-built surveys for one or more of these reasons:
To document that improvements and additions are compliant with local codes
To get a CO (certificate of occupancy) from a jurisdiction, which verifies the habitability of a structure
To ensure that a building has been finished according to the original plan
To prove to lenders that a project has been completed according to plan
