What Is a As-Built Survey?
An as-built survey documents the actual location and elevation of constructed improvements after completion. These surveys are typically required for project closeout, certificate of occupancy, and permanent records of what was built versus what was designed.
At Apex Surveying & Mapping, we provide as-built surveys for residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects. Our surveys verify that construction matches approved plans and document any field changes for owner and municipality records.
As-built surveys often reveal deviations from original plans—some intentional field changes, others potential issues. We document exactly what exists, providing the foundation for accurate facility records and future planning.

Frequently Asked Questions About As-Built Surveys
When do I need an as-built survey?
As-built surveys are typically required for certificate of occupancy, construction contract closeout, lender requirements, or updating property records after construction. Check with your permit office or contract requirements.
How much does an as-built survey cost?
As-built survey costs range from $500 to $2,500+ depending on the scope of work being documented. Simple residential additions cost less than complex commercial projects. We provide quotes based on your specific requirements.
What's the difference between an as-built survey and a final inspection?
A building inspection verifies code compliance. An as-built survey documents actual locations and elevations with survey-grade measurements. Both may be required for certificate of occupancy.
Can you survey underground utilities?
We can document visible utility features and access points. For underground utility locations, we recommend utility locating services in addition to surveying.
Do I need to provide the original plans?
Yes, we need the approved construction drawings to compare against actual conditions. If you don't have copies, we may be able to obtain them from the permit office (additional fees may apply).
