TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEYS AND MAPPING SERVICES

Topographic surveys are required by many local government bodies to determine the existing conditions and elevations of a site. Together with a boundary survey, topographic surveys are used by architects and engineers to create accurate and appropriate designs based on existing conditions. Topographic surveys may be required as part of real estate transactions, civil engineering design and construction projects, including:

• New construction
• Remodeling projects to existing structures
• Utility design
• Road or bridge design or improvements
• Grading or drainage projects
• Planning Services
• Aerial Video

CONSTRUCTION STAKING SERVICES

Construction staking involves the surveying and staking for various stages of construction, and can involve staking specific elements for roadways, bridges, buildings, and utilities. These elements can include curb and gutter, centerlines and base lines of roadways, building corners, storm and sewer lines, and a multitude of others items.

BOUNDARY AND PROPERTY LINE SURVEY SERVICES

A boundary survey is a process carried out to determine property lines and define true property corners of a parcel of land described in a deed or map. It can also indicate the extent of any easements (if accompanied by a title report) or encroachments. Easements may include a utility line easement crossing the subject property to a neighboring property or appurtenant like the right to cross another property for access to a public road. Boundary surveys are an important procedure for anyone buying a property of any type. They are typically performed prior to buying, subdividing, improving or building on land. Surveying the parcel before these activities ensures avoidance of future disputes, the expense and frustration of defending a lawsuit, moving a building, or resolving a boundary problem.
