As-Built Survey

Who Needs an As-Built Survey, and When?

As-built surveys are requested near the end of a project. Builders, contractors, developers, engineers and owners use them to close out a permit or final inspection, confirm drainage, grading and paving were built as designed, document new utilities and structures, and support a certificate of occupancy. Requirements vary by city, county and agency.

As-built surveys are typically requested near the end of a project. Common reasons include:

• Closing out a building permit or meeting a final inspection requirement
• Confirming drainage, grading and paving were built as designed
• Documenting new utilities, structures or site improvements
• Providing records for engineers, owners and future work on the site
• Supporting a certificate of occupancy for new construction

Builders, contractors, developers, engineers and property owners all rely on as-built surveys to show that the finished work matches what was approved. Requirements vary by city, county and agency, so it helps to share your permit conditions with us early.

What You Get

Each as-built survey is prepared to the requirements of your project. In general terms, you can expect:

• A signed and sealed as-built survey drawing, delivered digitally
• Locations of the constructed improvements relative to property lines
• Elevations of key features where the permit or engineer requires them
• Comparison points to the approved plans where requested
• Digital drawing files for your engineer or design team on request

For homes, the as-built may follow other construction-stage surveys, typically during construction, at the stage your builder or permit office requires, such as building layout and FFE staking, a form board survey, a spot survey and a final survey. In a flood zone, a finished construction elevation certificate may also be required.
