What WE oFFER

Our Residential Services

AS-BUILT SURVEYS

Verifies construction or improvements compliance to your plans and with local regulations. Required for a Certificate of Occupancy.

You may need to obtain an As-Built Survey when enhancing your land to validate the completion of work. These surveys are typically conducted after construction to secure a Certificate of Occupancy and ensure compliance with zoning laws, focusing on documenting construction and improvements to structures on the property.

BOUNDARY SURVEY

The most common survey. Required by lenders and mortgage companies.

A boundary survey is the most common type of residential land survey. A full boundary survey meets the minimum standard survey requirements, as well as the requirements for most mortgage companies. (also referred to as a “mortgage survey” or “loan survey.”)

FEMA ELEVATION CERTIFICATION

Measures the property elevation to determine your risk to flooding. Required for flood insurance.

When buying a parcel of land in proximity to a 100-year flood plain, you may be asked to provide an elevation certificate to determine how much flood insurance (if any) you are required to have. The government has identified and mapped certain areas of land that are prone to flooding.

LOT CONSOLIDATION PLATS

Survey and plat that combines multiple parcels into one. Required if you desire to combine two or more adjacent parcels of land into one larger parcel.

If you own two or more adjacent parcels of land that you wish to combine into one parcel, you will need an experienced surveyor to draw up a lot consolidation plat that will to satisfy the requirements of local jurisdictions and for your protection as a property owner.

LOT SPLIT SURVEY

Survey and plat used to subdivide your existing parcel of land into two or more plots. Required if you desire to break a large parcel into multiple parcels of land.

If a land owner wants to divide a parcel of land into two or more parcels a Lot Split Survey is required. The rules and ramifications for dividing lots can be vastly different depending on the governing jurisdiction or municipality, and it’s important that the surveyor know these rules so the resulting plans will be accepted.

MARK PROPERTY CORNERS

We locate, identify and mark only the corners of your property. Required if requested by the client to verify property corners or resolve property disputes.

If you need clarification of your property boundaries but do not necessarily want or need to go to the expense of a full boundary survey or property line staking, marking property corners is often all you need in order to prevent encroachment on your neighbor’s property, or to settle any existing dispute.

PROPERTY LINE STAKING

Marks all the boundaries of your property. Required to verify legal description, placement of improvements or to resolve property disputes

For situations in which you need to visualize the actual boundary line of your property, disputes with neighbors or when you are building a structure near the edge of your property and can prevent potentially expensive encroachment issues.

SITE PLAN SURVEY

Shows proposed improvements to your property, along with existing structures and features. Required to obtain the proper permits for construction or property improvements.

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.

TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEYS

Describes property topography to identify possible building sites or to resolve drainage problems. Required by some local jurisdictions or to help identify problem areas or optimal building sites.

Sometimes called a “contour” survey, this type of survey is used to determine the elevations throughout a piece of property by taking into account not only the horizontal boundaries of your land, but also the vertical features, both natural and man-made. A topographic survey can serve a number of vital purposes, but especially if you are planning improvements on your land that could affect the landscape.

TOPOGRAPHIC / TREE SURVEYS

Gives more specific detail about the trees on your property, their numbers and their species. Required by some lenders, buyers or government entities.

There are times you need more specific and detailed information about the trees on your land. Most jurisdictions require information about the location of trees with a 6” Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) and above.
