As-Built Survey.
The design shows what was intended; the as-built shows what happened. An as-built survey measures the completed improvements — structures, utilities, grades and site features — and documents them against the design, producing the record your closeout, your client and the next project will depend on.
Who typically needs this
- General contractors closing out a project
- Owners who want a reliable record of their completed asset
- Agencies requiring as-built documentation for acceptance
- Engineers certifying completed grading or improvements
Common situations
- Project closeout requires documented as-built conditions
- A grading certificate needs surveyed final elevations
- Newly installed utilities must be recorded before burial or paving
- A future phase needs to know precisely what phase one built
What KEG does
- 01Survey the completed improvements the scope requires
- 02Compare as-built positions and elevations against the design
- 03Draft record drawings in your project's CAD standards
- 04Certify the documentation where the agency requires it
What you receive
- As-built record drawings (CAD and PDF)
- Comparison against design where specified
- Certifications the accepting agency requires
Most jobs are completed in 1–2 weeks. Scope, schedule and price are confirmed with you before fieldwork begins.
What affects cost
- Scope of improvements to document
- Whether work must be surveyed in phases before burial
- Agency documentation standards
What affects timing
- Construction completion schedule
- Phased visits for utilities before they are covered
As-Built Survey questions
When should as-built survey work be scheduled?
Ideally in phases, while underground work is still visible. Documenting utilities before burial is far more accurate and less expensive than locating them afterward.
