Accurate and up to date as built drawings are a critical part of any construction or infrastructure project. These detailed documents capture exactly what has been built on site, reflecting the true positioning, dimensions, and specifications of underground utilities, structural elements, and installed services. Unlike initial design plans, which represent intended layouts, an as built survey provides a clear, verified record of how the project was actually executed. This information is essential for compliance, future maintenance, and risk management, and is frequently required during project closeouts across industries such as civil construction, utilities, and property development.
1300Locate specialises in producing precise, high-quality as built survey documentation, backed by experienced underground service locators and advanced technology. Whether you’re managing a large-scale infrastructure build or a residential development, having accurate as built drawings ensures smoother handovers and long-term asset management.

What is an As Built Survey Used For?
As constructed drawings are typically requested during the design phase of a project to allow workers to operate on the property with a clear idea of what utilities and buildings are located there. A key feature of an as built site survey is underground utilities mapping, which reveals any utilities or cables hidden under the earth, so workers know where to avoid digging. It is recommended to commission a survey during the concept stage of your project to ensure your plans are made with the revealed information in mind.
As constructed surveys also document the changes you are making to the property, ensuring that the as built survey and all information about the land remain accurate and up to date. Utilities may also be moved during the installation process, with an as built site survey ensuring those changes are captured rather than leaving the original design documents outdated. An underground utility map that is devised as part of an as built site survey while the initial installation takes place ensures that this new location is properly recorded for future reference.
What We Can Provide:
At 1300Locate we offer a range of services when it comes to providing as constructed drawings. These include:

- Investigating the utilities on your site
- Locating, exposing, marking, and producing an underground service map of the utilities

The information provided by these services, including the as built survey, is invaluable when performing work on the site and should be distributed to all workers who will be operating on the property. Your as built survey will be tailored to your unique project and is able to be used to demonstrate that your work is conforming with zoning regulations. These as constructed drawings are also useful for managing your project’s schedule.
