As Built Survey

As-Built, also called ‘As Constructed’, surveys are usually produced at the end of the project and are used to illustrate where buildings, pavements, roads and features have been built. These surveys can also be carried out during the different stages of construction, to provide a point in time view.

As Built surveys are used to demonstrate to the building inspector that the project conforms to regulations. It can be a useful tool during a large project, to show what has been completed and allow for scheduling adjustments to be made. This type of survey can also be used by a contractor to determine payment schedules relating to different aspects of the build.

Back to Services

As the contracts Manager for MC Construction, I’m responsible for overseeing several sites and schemes at once, and I am also involved in the design development. For MC Construction to be able to help Royal Mail develop this existing site, we needed a lot of vital underground information on the location. Powers were able to provide us with an underground utility survey, that was clear and accurate, enabling us to be able to place the Hydrobrake in the most efficient position and excavate the car park, without putting our team and others in danger.
