An as-built is a survey that verifies to a regulatory agency that a constructed
project has indeed, been built by the contractor the way that the engineer’s
design specified it to be built. It is the job of a Professional Land
Surveyor to verify the facts and certify a drawing or map that accurately
illustrates what was finally built.
The typical As-built that is ordered by our clients includes
roadways, schools, shopping centers, sub-divisions, factories,
landfills, sanitary sewer collection systems and storm drain collection
systems.
Typically, when as-built survey is ordered we will locate not only the
physical features that were built but we also verify that the property
corners in the ground and in the proper location. This allows us to depict
the boundary lines on our certified map.
