Reasons to get an As-Built Survey

Accuracy Verification

As-built surveys ensure that construction aligns with approved design plans and specifications. They document any deviations, such as changes in dimensions or material substitutions, providing a precise record of the final build. This is critical for maintaining structural integrity, avoiding errors, and ensuring quality assurance.

Legal and Regulatory Compliance

These surveys are often required to meet zoning laws, building codes, and safety standards. They verify compliance with local regulations and help secure essential certifications like Certificates of Occupancy (CO), reducing the risk of legal disputes or penalties.

Future Modifications and Maintenance

As-built surveys provide a detailed record of existing conditions, which is invaluable for renovations or maintenance. Accurate documentation ensures safe modifications, prevents conflicts with existing infrastructure, and streamlines planning for future expansions.

Risk Management

By identifying discrepancies between design plans and the actual build early, as-built surveys help mitigate risks such as structural issues or costly rework. They also provide a clear record to resolve disputes and ensure accountability among contractors.

Obtaining Certificate of Occupancy

These surveys are essential for project closeout, acting as a final verification tool to confirm that construction meets all contractual and regulatory requirements. This documentation is often necessary to finalize contracts or hand over projects to stakeholders.

What is an As-Built Survey?

An as-built survey is a detailed record of a construction project as it exists upon completion, documenting the precise location, dimensions, and features of the built environment. It reflects any deviations from the original design plans, providing an accurate “as-is” representation of the property. In Oregon, as-built surveys are particularly important due to the state’s stringent land use regulations, environmental considerations, and focus on sustainable development.

These surveys are conducted by licensed professionals using advanced tools like GPS equipment and drones to measure structures, utilities, drainage systems, and other site features. They are essential for verifying that construction complies with local zoning laws, building codes, and environmental regulations. As-built surveys are often required to obtain certificates of occupancy or other permits.
