Services
ALTA/NSPS Surveys
ALTA/NSPS surveys meet national standards for commercial property transactions. These comprehensive boundary surveys include easements, encroachments, and improvements. Our team follows American Land Title Association guidelines to satisfy lender requirements and title insurance needs. We provide detailed documentation for property transfers and development planning.
Elevation Certificates
Elevation certificates determine flood zone status and insurance requirements. Our licensed surveyors measure building elevations relative to FEMA base flood levels. This data establishes flood risk and premium rates for properties in Talladega County. We also assist with Letter of Map Amendment applications to challenge flood zone designations.
Drone LiDAR Mapping
Drone LiDAR mapping captures high-resolution topographic data using FAA-registered aircraft. This technology creates 3D models, orthoimagery, and digital terrain surfaces. We use it for construction planning, land development, and environmental assessments. The method reduces costs while maintaining survey-grade accuracy for large properties.
Boundary Surveys
Boundary surveys establish legal property lines using deed research and physical evidence. Our team locates existing monuments and identifies encroachments. We provide documentation for real estate transactions, fence installations, and property disputes. Surveys comply with Alabama state standards for land description and subdivision requirements.
Construction Staking
Construction staking marks building locations and infrastructure improvements. We establish horizontal and vertical control points for foundations, utilities, and roadways. Our services ensure compliance with site plans and zoning regulations. We work with contractors throughout Talladega County to maintain design specifications during development projects.

Questions
What types of surveys do you offer?
We provide ALTA/NSPS, boundary, elevation, topographic, and construction staking surveys. Our services include flood zone determination and drone LiDAR mapping for residential and commercial properties.
How much does a land survey cost?
Costs vary by property size and complexity. Basic boundary surveys start at $500. ALTA surveys range from $1,500-$5,000. We provide free estimates after reviewing property records and discussing project requirements.
Do I need an elevation certificate?
Elevation certificates are required for flood insurance rate determination. If your property lies in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area or you're seeking flood zone removal, this survey documents building elevations relative to flood risk.
Are you licensed in Alabama?
Yes, we hold Alabama state licenses for both land surveying and civil engineering. Our firm operates under Certificate of Authorization #17262 with the Alabama Board of Licensure for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors.
How long does a survey take?
Most residential surveys complete in 1-2 weeks. Commercial projects requiring ALTA standards or drone mapping typically take 2-4 weeks. Timelines depend on property access, weather, and record availability.
