Construction Surveying
As-Built Surveys
Accurate record surveys of what was actually built — for engineering acceptance, municipal turnover, QA/QC and project closeout.
As-built surveys document what was constructed, where, and at what elevation. Owners, municipalities and engineers rely on them for acceptance, records, payment certification and future design — and contractors rely on them to prove conformance and close out scopes.
PCI Surveys performs as-builts on underground utilities before backfill, foundations and anchor bolts before pours, and completed civil works before turnover. We compare results directly against design and flag exceptions early, when they are still inexpensive to fix.

Common Questions
As-Built Surveys FAQs
What is an as-built survey?
A record of what was actually constructed — locations and elevations of the finished work, compared against the design drawings.
When are as-builts required?
Municipal acceptance of subdivisions and services, engineering certification, and project closeout commonly require them — and they're invaluable the next time anyone digs.
When should underground as-builts be captured?
Before backfill, while the pipe and structures are still visible. We work around your construction schedule so nothing gets buried unrecorded.
What deliverables do we receive?
CAD drawings and records aligned to your design files, in the format your municipality or engineer requires.
