Our Services

We offer a variety of surveying services tailored to meet the unique needs of our clients. Whether you're a property owner, developer, or buyer, we can help you with your surveying needs.

ALTA Survey

The American Land Title Association has established a minimum standard for surveys nationwide, and we can help you obtain an ALTA survey that meets all the required standards. An ALTA survey will provide you with a detailed map that includes building heights, utilities within one thousand feet of the property, a vicinity map, setbacks, and more. This type of survey is ideal for buyers who want to ensure they receive a comprehensive survey that covers all the necessary details.

Subdivisions

Subdivisions involve dividing a larger parcel of land into smaller lots, and we can assist with this process by creating maps that include all boundary lines, improvements, and easements. Depending on the specific requirements, topographic features or hazards may also be included in the subdivision map.

Topographic Map

A topographic map is essential for architects and engineers designing new features such as driveways, buildings, roads, or ponds. We can create a topographic map with contours of existing ground at a specified interval, typically two feet, although one foot and five feet intervals are also common. A benchmark can be used for flood information, but it's usually not required unless the property is close to a government-established benchmark.

Improvement Location Certificate

An Improvement Location Certificate (ILC) is a document that provides a general diagram to address whether a house is within a parcel of land that is to be financed. We can prepare an ILC for you, which includes certifications and notices regarding the document's limitations and the importance of considering a title insurance commitment for title reference. Please note that an ILC is not a substitute for a land survey plat or improvement survey plat, and we always recommend opting for an improvement survey plat for more comprehensive information.

Land Survey Plat

A basic boundary survey, or land survey plat, involves finding or setting corners of a lot and comparing them with neighboring properties. This type of survey will show easements apparent on the ground, recorded easements if a title policy or commitment is provided, locations of above ground utilities and improvements within five feet of the lot line, and may include irrigation ditches and fences upon request. A detailed map is prepared to describe any evidence used to determine the extent of the property.
