Services
Improvement Location Certificates
Improvement Location Certificates (ILCs) identify property boundaries and visible improvements like buildings and fences for residential real estate transactions. These surveys help mortgage and title companies assess potential encroachments without requiring boundary monument verification. Our ILCs provide critical data for property transfers while maintaining compliance with industry standards.
Land Survey Plats
Land Survey Plats establish precise property boundaries by locating or setting monuments at lot corners. We combine deed research with field measurements to identify conflicting boundary evidence and easements. These surveys are essential for property development, dispute resolution, and title insurance requirements across Summit County's complex terrain.
Topographic Surveys
Topographic surveys create detailed elevation models using contour lines at one- or two-foot intervals. Architects and engineers use these maps for drainage planning, infrastructure design, and optimal building placement. Our topographic surveys incorporate existing structure elevations to support residential and commercial development projects.
ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys
ALTA/NSPS surveys follow national standards for commercial property transactions. These comprehensive surveys include boundary verification, easements, and floodplain data while meeting lender and title company requirements. Our ALTA surveys incorporate Table A requirements to ensure complete due diligence for commercial real estate developments.
Construction Surveying
Construction surveying establishes precise building locations and infrastructure alignments before project commencement. We mark horizontal and vertical references for foundations, utilities, and roadways to prevent encroachments. Our layout services ensure compliance with design specifications and local building codes for residential and commercial developments.
