On how you can convince the owner to conduct survey, perhaps you can prepare a "what if" scenarios showing the additive variation orders as a result of inaccurate or no as built plans. This may include extended overhead costs, additional design cost, delay implications, acceleration cost and the like. Then, you can also prepare the corresponding cost if: "what if you have accurate informations" for comparison. I hope this can help.
P.S. I read your postings in Schedulers.com, are you still with Miami International Airport? The reason I'm interested to know is because I'm also currently working in an Airport Porject here in Manila Philippines.

IMHO As-builts are fine as drawing backgrounds, but if you are doing work, you need the survey (can you trust the as-builts ?)
Bureaucracy usually needs a kick from someone senior (ie more senior to them), who can you enlist to help make your request.
