As Built Surveys
Precise Post-Construction Verification for Regulatory Compliance and Project Handover
Our Service
Acurise delivers comprehensive as-built surveys that accurately document the final, constructed position of every element of your project — from structural foundations to above-ground infrastructure. Our field teams use calibrated total stations, GNSS receivers, and precision levelling equipment to capture the true as-constructed state of your development, producing survey-accurate drawings, schedules, and 3D data that reflect reality, not the original design intent.
In the UAE, as-built surveys are a mandatory requirement for completion certificate applications to Dubai Municipality, the Abu Dhabi Department of Municipalities and Transport, and other regulatory bodies. Acurise understands the documentation standards and accuracy tolerances required by each authority and produces deliverables that meet or exceed these requirements on first submission.
Whether you are completing a residential tower, a utilities network, a roads and infrastructure project, or a commercial development, Acurise provides the as-built survey documentation that enables smooth project handover, regulatory sign-off, and long-term asset management.
Understanding As-Built Surveys: The Final Word on What Was Actually Built
An as-built survey records the actual constructed positions, dimensions, and levels of a completed structure or infrastructure network, capturing any deviations from the original design drawings that occurred during the construction process. These deviations are a natural consequence of field conditions, design changes, and construction tolerances — the as-built survey documents them accurately so that the record drawings truly reflect what exists on the ground.
The importance of accurate as-built documentation extends far beyond the completion certificate. Facility managers rely on as-built drawings to plan maintenance and future upgrades. Engineers use as-built data to assess structural performance and design extensions. Utility operators depend on as-built records of buried services to avoid costly and dangerous accidental damage during subsequent ground works. Inaccurate or missing as-built records create compounding liabilities for asset owners across the entire operational life of the facility.
Modern as-built surveys go beyond traditional 2D drawings. Acurise integrates total station and GNSS measurements with laser scanning technology to produce as-built datasets that include 3D point clouds, precise coordinates, reduced levels, and parametric CAD and BIM models. This multi-format approach ensures that your as-built records are compatible with current and future asset management platforms.
