What is an Asbuilt Certificate?
An As-Built Certificate is an official document that confirms the physical location, grading, or design of a construction project match the approved plans. It provides a clear record of the project’s actual dimensions and features as they were completed, allowing for verification against the original plans.
Why Do You Need an As-Built Certificate?
Location & Boundary Verification: One of the most significant aspect of any construction project is getting the building in the right place. An As-Built Certificate provides confirmation of the project's location and boundaries, which is essential to showing that the project complies with approved zoning setbacks.
Grading Compliance: A grading certificate confirms that grading has been constructed in accordance with the approved design, helping to avoid potential drainage issues, structural instability, and future conflicts.
Who will request an As-Built Certificate?:
Government: As-Built Certificates are often required for obtaining final government approvals or permits. They ensure that the construction has followed approved designs.
Insurance: For those properties that need to be insured, an accurate record of the building's location and information can be very crucial in obtaining the right policy and coverage.
Banks: A bank may request an up to date survey showing the new construction in order to refinance a new building.
Whether you are finishing a building project, seeking government approval, or preparing for future changes, an As-Built Certificate provides you with the precision and reliability you need.
