Whenever you are planning improvements for a residential property, the builder or the local authorities may need as-built surveys of the building. This is often done to ensure that construction proceeds according to plan. Experienced surveying firms, such as Precision Property Measurements can perform these surveys with a high accuracy to fulfil the local or state requirements as well as to help the contractor measure the progress of your project.
An as-built survey depicts any and all improvements made to the land and property at any given point in time. A residential construction or remodel project begins with a site plan that represents the location and dimensions of the proposed changes. As-built surveys measure these improvements as they’re built to ensure they conform to the proposed plan.
Depending on the size and scope of the project, as-built surveys may occur more than once during construction, and again at completion, to ensure all aspects of the project have been constructed as and where proposed.
When are As-Builts required?
Local or state zoning boards often require as-built surveys during the course of a project to verify compliance with regulations, and proposed plans. Even if local authorities don’t ask for them, a good contractor would ask for an as-built survey during the course of the project to ensure building is proceeding as per plan and the projected timeline for completion. Any errors or variations that may have occurred during construction are much easier and less costly to correct along the way than after later.
Accuracy is critical to as-built surveys. So, you should only hire an experienced surveyor to do the job. To learn more about as-built surveys and services or to request a quote on Irvine As-builts, call Precision Property Measurements at 855-272-8458.
