What We Do
Lot Survey
This is a survey of a lot in a recorded subdivision. Corners should be marked in accordance with existing state standards, and the owner receives a drawing depicting what corners were set and what corners were found.
Boundary Survey
These surveys are normally described by Metes and Bounds and may require extensive research of adjoining deeds, original government surveys, highway plans, etc. A Boundary Survey usually requires fieldwork on neighboring lands to verify or find existing monumentation. Because many deeds were prepared in an office and not actually surveyed, it may require extra research and fieldwork to determine the property lines. The corners should be marked in accordance with existing state standards, and the owner receives a drawing depicting what corners were set and what corners were found.
Subdivision Survey
This type of survey divides existing parcels into smaller parcels. These types of surveys are required to be recorded at the county’s Register of Deeds office and must also meet all requirements of government agencies.
Topographic Survey
These types of surveys are graphic representations of physical features of the land depicting natural and man-made features, such as fences, buildings, utilities, hills, valleys, streams, lakes, roads, etc. They can be performed by field ground methods or by aerial photographic methods. The preciseness of this type of survey depends on what it is to be used for. These surveys should be completed in conjunction with a “Boundary Survey” (which can only be performed by a Professional Land Surveyor) to show lines of possession.
Plot Plan & Stakeout
This type of survey may be required by local authorities or you may require it to ensure that a proposed house or structure is constructed in the proper location and not over an easement or building set backline. A drawing may be required showing the proposed building location. Stakes are set in the field denoting the location of the proposed building.
Foundation Survey
This type of survey is required by some lending agencies, title companies or escrow agents before disbursement of construction loans. This type of survey locates the existing foundation on the property to guarantee to the lender that the foundation is actually on the property and not encroaching on easements or building lines. These surveys should be completed in conjunction with a “Boundary Survey” (which can only be performed by a Professional Land Surveyor) to show lines of possession.
