Services

BOUNDARY LINE ADJUSTMENTS:

When existing adjacent properties need to be adjusted to meet various needs, a boundary line adjustment or modification is needed. This is typically done as a legal description combined with a plat or exhibit showing the new layout dimensions of the proposed changes in the property.

CONSTRUCTION LAYOUT:

Construction staking is setting markers for contractors to construct buildings, underground utilities, or any manner of improvements.

ALTA/NSPS SURVEYS:

Typically, this is used on commercial properties when a title is being transferred or when banks require this to be done for re‑financing reasons. There are different levels of requirements for Alta/Nsps surveys, but in general, they show the existing improvements (if any) in relation to the boundary and easements of an existing property. This survey is also intended to point out any encroachments of existing improvements on or off the existing boundary.

TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEYING AND MAPPING:

These are typically required by architects and engineers for design purposes to produce improvement plans for a proposed development. These surveys show existing topography, improvements, and elevations. They can be used in conjunction with Alta/NSPS survey or just show existing ground conditions for a wide variety of improvements depending on the needs of the client.

LEGAL DESCRIPTIONS:

These are either descriptions of a parcel of land or proposed easements for a variety of purposes. It is typically associated with a plat or exhibit, which shows a map of the corresponding legal description.
