Services
Land Boundary Surveys
Our Land Boundary Surveys determine property lines with legal precision, combining field measurements and historical research. We recover existing monuments, analyze title documents, and set new markers where needed. Clients receive detailed plats documenting boundary decisions, ensuring compliance with Colorado statutes and resolving encroachment or access issues.
ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys
ALTA/NSPS Surveys meet strict specifications for commercial properties, documenting boundaries, easements, and improvements. These surveys require adherence to a ten-page ALTA/NSPS standard and are deposited in public records. Ideal for lenders and title companies, they provide comprehensive legal and technical assurance for high-stakes transactions.
Topographic Surveys
Topographic Surveys map existing land features, including slopes, structures, and vegetation, using contour lines. Combined with boundary data, they create all-in-one plans for architects and engineers. Customizable to include easements or client-specific features, these surveys are essential for site design and development planning.
Subdivision Surveys
Subdivision Surveys divide large tracts into smaller lots or resolve encroachment challenges. We handle platting, legal documentation, and coordination with local authorities. Our expertise ensures profitable, compliant land divisions while maintaining historical continuity with legacy surveys.
FEMA Flood Elevation Certifications
FEMA Flood Elevation Certifications determine a property's flood risk by measuring elevation relative to flood zones. Required for insurance and compliance, these certifications involve precise fieldwork and documentation. We ensure accurate data to support floodplain management and mitigation strategies.
