What is an Asbuilt Survey?

An Asbuilt Survey, also referred to as a Work as Executed (WAE) Survey, is a detailed survey conducted at the completion of construction works. We compare the as-built drawings and other documentation to the original design plans to verify compliance. We also perform a thorough physical inspection of the completed work, including measurements and other tests, to confirm that the work meets the required standards and specifications.Our team then prepares a detailed report outlining any deviations or discrepancies that were found and recommends any necessary repairs or modifications. This report is used by the project team to address any issues and to ensure that the final product meets the required standards.

These surveys are a critical part of the final approval process for development projects. They provide accurate, measurable evidence that key infrastructure such as roads, drainage systems, sewer lines, and utilities have been built to specification.

When is an As built required?

At the conclusion of construction projects, local councils often mandate a Work As Executed Survey (WAE) or As Built Survey to be carried out and verified by a professional registered surveyor. This survey plays a crucial role in verifying that the completed works align with the approved design plans. The surveyor compares the constructed position and levels of roads, access ways, stormwater systems, sewers, and other infrastructure with the original design specifications to ensure conformity. They are often mandatory before:

Final development sign-offs
Occupation certificates
Asset handovers to councils or utilities providers
Compliance inspections

Comparison of as-built drawings and other documentation to the original design plans

This step is used to verify compliance and identify any deviations or discrepancies between the planned design and the actual construction.

Physical inspection of the completed work

This includes a detailed examination of the work to identify any issues or defects that may have occurred during construction. The inspection may include measurements and other tests to confirm that the work meets the required standards and specifications.

Testing of systems and equipment

Depending on the project, WAE survey may include testing of systems and equipment such as electrical, plumbing, HVAC and fire protection systems to ensure they are installed, operate and perform as per design.

Identification of non-conformances

If any deviations from the approved design are found, the surveyor will identify them as non-conformances and provide recommendations for their resolution.

Preparation of a detailed report

Once the WAE survey is complete, the surveyor will prepare a detailed report outlining any deviations or discrepancies that were found and recommending any necessary repairs or modifications. This report is used by the project team to address any issues and to ensure that the final product meets the required standards.

Closeout documents

The surveyor may also review the final closeout documents to ensure that all the final drawings, warranties, certifications, and as-built documents are complete and accurate.
