As-Built Survey

An as-built survey is a crucial process that involves documenting the final condition and exact location of constructed elements, such as buildings, roads, or utilities. This type of survey is typically conducted after construction is completed to ensure that the final structure or project matches the approved design plans and meets all necessary specifications.

As-built surveys provide accurate and detailed information regarding the physical features and dimensions of the built environment, helping to verify compliance with regulations, detect any discrepancies, and facilitate future maintenance or renovation projects.

By capturing the real-world status of a construction project, as-built surveys play a vital role in ensuring quality control and confirming that the completed work aligns with the original intentions. This information can then be used as part of The Adoption of Roads into the Public Highway (1980 Highways Act) application, commonly known as a Section 38 agreement.
