ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey

An ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey is a comprehensive property survey that provides detailed information about a property’s boundaries, easements, rights-of-way, and improvements. It is often required for commercial real estate transactions to meet lender and title company requirements. This survey helps identify any potential issues, such as encroachments or discrepancies in property lines, and ensures that the property complies with the standards set by the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS). By providing accurate and detailed data, this survey helps facilitate a smooth transaction and protects the interests of both buyers and sellers.

Boundary Survey

A Boundary Survey defines the property lines and identifies any encroachments or discrepancies that may exist. This type of survey is crucial for property owners, developers, and professionals to establish boundaries, and support property division or development. It typically includes the placement or verification of property corners, preparation of a plat or map showing the boundaries, and a detailed report describing any issues found during the survey. Accurate boundary surveys are essential to assess property ownership.

GPS Control Survey

GPS Control Surveys use advanced Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to establish precise horizontal and vertical control points, which serve as a foundation for various surveying and mapping projects. These surveys provide highly accurate location data that is essential for large-scale projects such as road construction, utility installations, and geographic information systems (GIS). By setting control points across a project site, surveyors can ensure that all subsequent measurements and surveys are consistent and reliable, reducing the risk of errors and discrepancies in the project.

Property Layouts
(Site Surveying)

A Site Survey maps the location of existing structures and features on a property, such as buildings, fences, driveways, and utilities, relative to its boundaries. This survey is often used in real estate transactions, zoning applications, and construction planning to provide a clear picture of what improvements are present and how they relate to property lines. It helps identify any potential encroachments.

Route Survey

Route Surveys are conducted to plan the most efficient and feasible paths for infrastructure projects such as roads, pipelines, railways, and utility lines. These surveys involve detailed mapping of the proposed route, taking into account topography, existing structures, and environmental constraints. Route surveys help engineers and planners design infrastructure that minimizes environmental impact, reduces construction costs, and meets regulatory requirements. They provide critical data for determining the best alignment and ensuring the project’s success.

Title Survey

A Title Survey combines the elements of a boundary survey with additional information from the property’s title, such as easements, rights-of-way, and any recorded agreements. This survey is often required in real estate transactions to provide a clear understanding of the property’s boundaries and any restrictions or encumbrances that might affect its use. Title surveys ensure that the property can be used as intended.

Topographic Survey

A Topographic Survey provides a detailed map of the natural and man-made features of a property, including contours, elevations, trees, buildings, roads, and utilities. This survey is essential for land development, engineering design, and construction planning. It allows architects, engineers, and developers to understand the terrain and plan projects that fit the land’s unique characteristics. Topographic surveys are often the first step in an engineering project, providing the foundational data needed for site design and layout.

Utility Location Survey

A Utility Location Survey identifies the presence and location of underground utilities, such as water, gas, sewer lines, and electrical cables. This service is critical for design projects to avoid damaging existing utilities, which can cause costly delays and safety hazards. By mapping the position of utilities, providing detailed information that helps engineers plan safe and efficient excavation and construction activities. Accurate utility location surveys are essential for any project involving ground disturbance.
