Boundary Surveys
Our boundary surveys precisely locate and document property corners and lines according to Indiana legal standards. We analyze deed records, set monuments, and create detailed survey drawings that show improvements near property lines. These surveys help resolve disputes, facilitate property transactions, and ensure accurate land development planning while maintaining compliance with state regulations.
ALTA/NSPS Surveys
We conduct ALTA/NSPS land title surveys meeting the highest industry standards for commercial property transactions. Our comprehensive surveys include boundary analysis, easement identification, and improvement location verification. These detailed surveys provide title companies and lenders with accurate information about property characteristics and potential encumbrances to support informed real estate decisions.
GIS Data Collection
Our GIS professionals collect and analyze spatial data to create detailed digital mapping solutions. We develop geodatabases and interactive mapping tools that help clients visualize property relationships and historical records. These systems support land management decisions and provide accessible documentation for government agencies, ecologists, and survey professionals across Indiana.
Section Corner Perpetuation
We specialize in preserving and documenting original Public Land Survey System (PLSS) records through section corner perpetuation. Our team locates and documents historic survey markers while creating digital repositories for these critical land records. This work supports accurate boundary determinations and maintains Indiana's surveying history for future generations.

Questions
When do I need a land survey?
You need a survey for property line adjustments, subdivisions, boundary disputes, tax bill accuracy, flood insurance requirements, and construction projects. We recommend surveys before property purchases or major improvements.
How much does a survey cost?
Survey costs vary based on property complexity, deed accuracy, terrain, and seasonal factors. We review legal descriptions and project requirements to provide accurate quotes after initial consultation.
What is a boundary survey?
A boundary survey locates and documents property corners and lines according to legal standards. Includes monument verification, deed analysis, and official documentation recorded with county authorities for legal reference.
How is a boundary survey different from a mortgage survey?
Boundary surveys establish legal property lines with monuments and official records. Mortgage surveys only show approximate locations for title insurance purposes and shouldn't be used for construction or boundary determinations.
What does GIS stand for?
GIS stands for Geographic Information System. It's a framework for collecting, managing, and analyzing spatial data that connects geographic features with related information for comprehensive land analysis.
Why use a professional surveyor instead of county GIS?
County GIS provides approximate parcel lines for tax purposes only. Professional surveyors use precise measurements and legal analysis to establish legally defensible boundaries that consider physical evidence and deed records.
