  • Residential and Commercial Boundary Surveys and Staking

    Boundary surveys are highly accurate calculations of your property lines that can be relied on for property construction and other property improvements on both residential and commercial properties. If you are constructing, installing a fence, or building an addition onto an existing structure, you’re going to want to get a boundary survey.

  • As-Built and Improvement Surveys

    As-Built surveys are performed after completing any proposed construction and it precisely details the location of facilities and infrastructure against an original plan. An As-Built Survey (or Improvement Survey) is performed to detail the horizontal and vertical positions of the physical improvements of all or part of a tract, parcel or lot of land. This survey is required by a seller, buyer, lender and title company, for loan and title closing purposes.

  • Topographic Surveys

    A topographical survey is an accurate depiction of a site (property, area of land, defined boundary) which is scaled and detailed to show all the natural and manmade features and their levels. A topographical survey is highly detailed and requires the involvement of topological professionals to ensure the accuracy of the reports provided.

  • Construction Staking

    Construction staking is the process of taking planned improvements and buildings, and then physically mapping them out on the site where the building will take place using wooden stakes and various markers. It plays a vital role in helping an organization make the leap from plans and blueprints to actual construction work. In addition to making sure that construction work is performed accurately according to project designs, construction staking can also help a project manager determine where there might be problems with a project plan. Identifying these problems at the staking phase can help save a lot of time and money for the project later on.

  • Elevation Certificate

    An Elevation Certificate documents important features of your property, including its location, flood zone, building characteristics and, most importantly, the elevation of its lowest floor. An Elevation Certification is needed to know your building’s elevation compared to the estimated height flood-waters will reach in a major flood. It helps provide a true picture of the status of compliance with floodplain ordinances so as to determine your flood risk and the cost of your flood insurance premium.

  • Easements and Exhibits

    Public utilities easements, right of way easements, ingress/egress easements, drainage easements, and special use easements, are just a handful of examples of easements that may burden a parcel of land. Easements are areas designated for a specific purpose within a specific area. Due to this fact, the property owner’s rights within these easement areas are limited, therefore it is a good idea to know what type of easements exist on the subject property and where they are located.

  • Subdivision Lot and House Pinning

    A “Lot Survey” may also be known as a “Closing Survey” or “Mortgage Survey.” Typically, this type of survey is done at the request of banks, realtors, attorneys, and title companies prior to a loan closing. It is usually understood to be a survey of a lot in a recorded subdivision. In the course of the survey the property corners will be found. If they have been disturbed they will be reset and marked with an iron rod and plastic cap bearing the surveyors registration number (RPLS 5292). If corners are not visible from one another, stakes may be placed on line between them if the owner asks for the lines to be marked. On completion of the survey, all corners will be marked with a “witness” stake so they can easily be found for the short term. You should be aware though that the actual corner is the metal rod in the ground. Any encroachments and easements will be shown on the survey plat which is a drawing depicting the work done. If requested the home and other improvements will be located and shown on the plat as well.

  • Form Board and Slab Survey

    A form survey is a drawing used to illustrate the location of the form boards in relation to the property lines, building lines, and easements. The forms themselves are used to pour concrete to form the slab foundation. This type of survey is typically required for inspection prior to pouring a slab; form surveys check that a concrete slab will not be encroaching within various easements or building setback lines. Once the slab is poured, another survey can be performed to check the location of the poured concrete and ensure it matches with the form survey.

  • Drainage Survey

  • Deed Research

    A deed can reveal a lot about the ownership of a piece of real estate. When we work through one deed to another, we build a clear picture on who has the right possession of the land. Courthouse deed research means we have to go to a courthouse and search for the deed to a property. Since old records are hard to locate, it can take a lot more time. Every survey service usually requires some amount of deed research.

  • Platting Services

    Whether you are dividing property or adding to your property we can plat your property for you. Platting a property is being required by more and more cities and counties in order to build on a property or to divide it into multiple tracts. This can occur in a subdivision or with large acreage tracts. A plat differs from a survey in that a plat is an official map of a subdivision, which can be just one lot or many lots.

Note: We DO NOT perform Land Title Surveys in accordance with TSPS Categories 1 – 9 or ALTA type surveys.
