If you are making improvements on a parcel of land you own, it may be necessary for you to obtain an As-Built Survey to verify your work upon completion. As-Built Surveys are typically performed at the completion of a construction project in order for the property owner to obtain a CO (Certificate of Occupancy) in accordance with local zoning laws. Unlike other types of surveys which primarily detail the land itself (often before improvements are made), as-built surveys provide a field documentation of construction and improvements to one or more structures on the land.
For this reason, you’re most likely to need one during or after a construction project. IronStone Surveying has a thorough understanding of local governing jurisdictions requirements throughout the state in order to guarantee your survey will meet all necessary requirements.
NOTE: The level of detail on an as-built survey depends on the requirements of the local authorities. The surveyor will locate all new improvements on the property and verify that the location and elevation of all completed work conforms to local regulations. The surveyor may also verify that the completed work matches any plans that were submitted to zoning or local jurisdiction boards for approval and permits.
