SITE PLAN SURVEY

A Site Plan Survey is needed to request a permit to build on your property—whether it’s an entire house from the ground up, or a room addition—the local governing jurisdiction will typically ask you to submit a site plan survey providing detailed information about the site where you plan to build, as well as the proposed improvements.

WHEN DO YOU NEED A SITE PLAN SURVEY?

  • To obtain building permits for property improvements. 
  • Site is on a flood plain, an engineer may need to look at a site plan in order to come up with a strategy for grading the land. 
  • Used to measure for accuracy to make sure the building or addition is being built correctly.
  • Anytime you are planning for some sort of improvement that interacts with the land, from add-ons to driveways to below-ground pools etc.

WHAT TO EXPECT WITH A SITE PLAN SURVEY

  • The level of detail in a site plan is determined by the governing jurisdiction for the site. 
  • IronStone Surveying works with builders, architects, landscape architects and government officials to create a site plan that satisfies the property owner while conforming to the requirements of the governing jurisdiction. 
  • Standard site plans will show the existing and proposed improvements, topography, tree location, tree recompense, proposed grading, silt and tree fencing and lot coverage calculations.
