An as-built survey in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) is a specialized survey conducted to document the precise locations and dimensions of structures and improvements on a property after construction has been completed. This survey records the actual built conditions of the property, including the locations of buildings, roads, utilities, walls, and other features in relation to the property’s legal boundaries. Licensed surveyors perform as-built surveys to ensure that construction adheres to design plans, zoning regulations, and setback requirements established by local authorities.
In the BVI, as-built surveys are often a requirement for final approvals from building and planning authorities, as they verify compliance with building permits and zoning laws. They are especially important in areas with environmental and regulatory constraints, as well as in coastal or waterfront properties where setback regulations are strict. The survey report provides an accurate record of the property’s post-construction state, which is valuable for property owners, developers, and local officials, ensuring that all improvements are correctly documented and that future land use or development can proceed smoothly.
