As-built and as-constructed surveys for Adelaide projects. Our Edinburgh North office captures completed works and prepares compliant council and asset-owner handover documentation, validated against design and datum so it is accepted first time right.
Experience the difference of working with Australia's leading surveying professionals. Precision Delivered since 2012.
Since 2012, we've delivered precision engineering surveys for Australia's most complex infrastructure projects, from high-rise developments to major civil works.
With 5 strategic office locations and 70+ qualified professionals, we provide comprehensive engineering surveying services across all major Australian markets.
Advanced 3D scanning, UAV LiDAR, and real-time GPS systems ensure millimetre accuracy for your engineering projects, reducing risks and delays.
An as-built survey records what was actually constructed, and getting it right is what clears council and asset-owner handover without rework. HR Surveyors delivers as-built and as-constructed surveys for Adelaide and South Australian projects from our Edinburgh North office, with 70+ qualified professionals and ISO 9001 processes behind every deliverable. We capture levels, services and structures, prepare ADAC/A-SPEC-format data where councils require it, and validate against design and datum so the handover package is accepted first time. Tying everything to MGA2020/AHD means the as-built reconciles with the design and the control used during construction.
We survey completed works, including levels, visible services and structures, to produce an accurate record of what was built. Capturing precise positions and levels gives certifiers, councils and asset owners a dependable picture of the finished asset for compliance and future maintenance.
Where councils or asset owners require it, we prepare as-constructed data in ADAC/A-SPEC format alongside as-built drawings. Structuring outputs to the recognised specification means they import cleanly into council asset-management systems rather than failing at validation.
We check captured data against the design and the correct AHD levels and service records before submission. Catching wrong-datum, missing-level and out-of-tolerance issues early is what reduces the rejection and resubmission risk that delays handover and final payments.

The terms overlap and are often used interchangeably. "As-built" generally refers to a record of the completed structure or works showing how they were actually built, while "as-constructed" is the term commonly used for the formal dataset councils and asset owners require for infrastructure such as roads, drainage and utilities at handover. In practice both confirm that completed work matches, or differs from, the approved design. We deliver whichever record your certifier, council or asset owner requires, tied to the correct datum.
Most rejections come from data issues rather than the physical work, such as the wrong datum, missing or incorrect AHD levels, incomplete service records, or files that fail validation when imported. We avoid these by tying capture to the correct MGA2020/AHD datum, formatting to ADAC/A-SPEC where required, and validating the dataset against design before submission. Getting the data structure and datum right the first time is what keeps the handover package moving and prevents the resubmission cycles that delay project close-out.
As-built capture is best planned into the program rather than left to the end. Some elements, such as underground services and drainage, must be surveyed before they are covered, so we schedule capture as works are completed and access allows, not only at practical completion. Booking survey visits against your construction stages means nothing critical is buried unrecorded and the final handover dataset is complete. Contact us early with your program and we will recommend the right capture points and a free, no-obligation quote.
