After your home remodeling project is complete, you need to contact a land surveyor to perform an as-built survey. This survey is a crucial part of the renovation process because it compares the finished project to your contractor’s original plans. Ogletree and Chivers Land Surveyors in Milledgeville, GA, frequently performs these surveys for customers. Below, they discuss this essential process.

What Does an As-Built Survey Entail?

As-built surveys are unique because they must be scheduled after the land planning and construction process is finished. While an ALTA survey focuses on property lines and water boundaries, the main goal of an as-built survey is to compare the renovation plans you submitted to the city and the resulting structure. Your land surveyor will evaluate the initial plans to see what design or functionality changes occurred along the way. They’ll also check to make sure any diversions from your original building specifications are still up to code, within property lines, and safe for inhabitants. 

Why Do You Need One?

As-built surveys are a must after you complete a renovation. Your land surveyor will sign off on the project once they determine everything adheres to local zoning laws. Once the survey is finalized, you can start the process of obtaining a Certificate of Occupancy to move into the building.
