As-Built Surveys

As-built survey documentation for handover and authority review

As-built survey documentation that records what has been constructed, supports authority and asset-owner review, and gives project teams clear files for handover, operation and future works.

Prepared for review

Authority-ready files

A-Spec, D-Spec, R-Spec, O-Spec and DS-80 deliverables where applicable.

Built vs design evidence

Clear handover

Drawings, metadata and commentary that show what was constructed.

Before issue

QA checks

Attributes, layers and control references reviewed prior to submission.

Civil, mining, utilities

WA projects

Supporting contractors, councils and asset owners statewide.

As-built records your project team can rely on

Visual records, drawings and structured handover files help contractors, asset owners and authorities understand what has been constructed and issued.

Bulk earthworks conformance

Bulk Earthworks Conformance

Verification of earthworks against design models with precise volume calculations and digital terrain modelling for compliance and quality assurance.

Authority-ready as-built documentation

Authority-ready data standards

A-Spec, D-Spec, R-Spec and O-Spec datasets structured for council submission and long-term asset management where applicable.

As-built documentation prepared for WA authorities

Civil and infrastructure conformance

Verification of constructed civil, mining and infrastructure works against approved design surfaces, giving project teams the evidence they need for handover decisions.

  • Cut/fill and surface comparisons against design
  • Conformance reporting for bulk earthworks and structures
  • Deviation highlights for remediation discussions
  • Digital terrain models prepared for review

Roads, drainage and services capture

Submission-ready documentation covering alignments, pits, pipes, culverts and above-ground assets in formats local authorities expect.

  • Road and drainage alignment validation
  • Utilities, pits and service connections recorded
  • DWG/DXF drawings structured for council review
  • Main Roads WA requirements addressed where applicable

Water Corporation DS-80 deliverables

As-constructed survey files prepared for Water Corporation DS-80 submissions, including asset attributes, levels and supporting documentation.

  • Capture of water infrastructure assets and services
  • DS-80 templates populated with required metadata
  • QA notes and control reports bundled for review
  • Supporting documents issued alongside digital files

Authority specification datasets

A-Spec, D-Spec, R-Spec and O-Spec data prepared with consistent naming, attribution and layer control so councils can ingest files with fewer clarifications.

  • Specification-ready templates populated
  • Feature coding aligned to project requirements
  • Metadata schedules completed for authority submission
  • QA checklists applied before lodgement

Documentation workflow

A practical sequence covering pickup, QA and drafting so councils, utilities and asset owners receive consistent files.

Scope and asset requirements

Scope

Requirements captured for councils, Water Corporation or private owners.

Confirm asset owner needs, coordinate systems, tolerances, attributes and required submission formats before crews mobilise.

Coordinate with construction set-out

Field capture and attribution

Capture

Feature coding and attribution aligned to project or authority requirements where applicable.

Total station, GNSS, laser scanning and UAV pickups record levels, strings, pits, services and feature attributes needed for the handover pack.

Mining data alignment

Drafting, QA and issue

Documentation

QA checks can identify missing attributes before issue.

CAD and GIS teams prepare DWG/DXF drawings, LandXML, TIN/DTM surfaces, survey strings and GIS-ready files with QA checks before submission.

See DS-80 resource

Authority and project deliverables

Packages tailored for councils, Water Corporation, Main Roads WA and project owners.

Local authority specifications

Council

Submission packs prepared to reduce review issues before lodgement.

A-Spec, D-Spec, R-Spec and O-Spec deliverables can be prepared for local government requirements where applicable, including metadata and attribution schedules.

Progress claim verification

Water Corporation DS-80

Water

Control information documented for Water Corporation review.

DS-80 deliverables prepared for Water Corporation infrastructure with supporting QA notes, drawings and asset registers ready for review.

Link to UAV datasets

Project-specific handover

Handover

Coordinate systems and layer information documented for project handover.

CAD, GIS-ready, PDF, DWG/DXF, LandXML, TIN/DTM and other agreed files prepared so asset owners, contractors or operators can ingest data quickly.

FAQs

Common questions about As-built surveys

Answers to the questions we hear most from WA project teams.

Which specifications can you produce as-built data for?

We prepare A-Spec, D-Spec, R-Spec, O-Spec, DS-80 and project-specific templates where applicable, aligning metadata, attribution and supporting documentation to the stated requirements before lodgement.

How do you keep documentation aligned to authority requirements?

Each submission follows a documented QA process covering control checks, coordinate validation, attribute reviews and specification templates so authorities receive consistent files ready for review.

Can you integrate as-built data into GIS platforms?

Yes. We export shapefiles, GeoPackage, hosted web layers and CAD deliverables so planners and asset teams can visualise assets immediately.

Do you capture as-built information for machine control updates?

We convert field pickups into updated LandXML, TIN/DTM and other surface files for machine control or design updates, helping crews understand late design changes.

How are tolerances and QA evidence managed?

Every submission can include tolerance tables, survey reports, control checks and photographic evidence tied to chainages or asset IDs so superintendents, councils or Water Corporation reviewers have the context they need.
