Services
ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey
ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys provide comprehensive boundary analysis incorporating title company requirements. These surveys identify easements, encroachments, and legal description discrepancies critical for commercial real estate transactions. Our team executes these detailed surveys using advanced geospatial technology to meet lender and title insurance specifications.
Boundary Survey
Boundary Surveys establish property lines through legal description analysis and physical monumentation. We conduct thorough courthouse research and field verification to resolve boundary conflicts. Our surveys include iron rod placement and legal documentation to support property transactions and development plans.
Construction Staking
Construction Staking services translate design plans into physical field markers for accurate building placement. We use coordinate systems to position structures, utilities, and infrastructure elements. Our staking ensures compliance with zoning regulations and architectural specifications for commercial and residential developments.
Topographic Survey
Topographic Surveys map natural and man-made features with elevation data for site planning. We collect contour information and existing structures to support drainage analysis and design. These surveys integrate boundary data to ensure accurate setback compliance for development projects.
Flood Survey
Flood Surveys determine property elevation relative to flood zones for insurance requirements. We measure building elevations and natural terrain to assess flood risk. These surveys support FEMA compliance and flood insurance rate determinations for residential and commercial properties.
