An As Built Survey is a comprehensive survey of a site or building that records existing conditions. It is used to create an as-built record that can be used for comparison against the design drawings or other baseline information.
Why are As Built Surveys Important?
As built surveys are important because they provide an accurate representation of the current condition of a site or building. This information can be used to make informed decisions about future changes, renovations, or repairs.
How Often Should I Have an As Built Survey Done?
The frequency of as built surveys will depend on the needs of the project. For example, if you are planning a major renovation, you will likely need more than one as built survey to track the progress of the work.
What Factors Influence the Cost of an As Built Survey?
There are several factors that can influence the cost of an as built survey, including the size and complexity of the site or building, the number of surveys required, and the level of detail needed.
Can I Do My Own As Built Survey?
It is possible to do your own as built survey, but it is generally recommended that you hire a professional surveyor. Professional surveyors have the experience and equipment necessary to produce accurate and reliable results.
How Long Does an As Built Survey Take to Complete?
The time required to complete an as built survey will depend on the size and complexity of the site or building. Generally, small projects can be surveyed in a few hours, while larger projects may take several days.

What Kind of Data is Collected During an As Built Survey?
During an as built survey, a variety of data is collected, including measurements of distance, elevation, and location. This data is then used to create a map or 3D model of the site or building.
