Land Surveying Services

Construction permitting has grown to require services beyond those provided by builders and Architects.  Often the services of a Professional Land Surveyor are required from the planning phases through the completion of the project.  Below is an example of some of the services our survey staff commonly provides:

Certified Plot Plan

Prior to the issuance of a building permit many communities require that a Certified Plot Plan be prepared and endorsed by a Professional Land Surveyor.  Preparation of the plan requires the Surveyor to establish the property boundaries and locate the structures on the property.  Generally, the plan is prepared to show the approving authority that the structure will meet the setbacks required by the community’s zoning regulations.

Property Line Staking

Often property owners have only a general idea of where their property begins and ends.  A property line staking involves setting survey monuments at lot corners and additional markers at set intervals along the property lines.  Upon completion it is possible to stand on the lot and visibly see the exact location of property lines.

Construction Layout and Verification

As a project progresses from plans to construction it is often advisable or required to have the exact location and elevation of a structure staked on the lot.  This prevents costly errors and helps ensure the structure is placed as required by the permit.  In some communities clients are required to have the Surveyor certify the location of the completed structure prior to the project being considered complete.
