Our Comprehensive Range of Services

At Blackmar Land Surveying, we offer a comprehensive suite of land surveying services tailored to meet the diverse needs of our clients. Our expertise encompasses:

• ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys: These comprehensive surveys are specifically designed to meet the requirements of title insurance companies. They reveal any encroachments, easements, or boundary lines that might affect the title to a property.

• As-Built Surveys:

As-built surveys precisely document existing structures, including buildings, roads, utilities, and other infrastructure. These surveys are often required for construction projects, renovations, or to update building plans and maps.

• Boundary Surveys: We establish and identify property boundaries with accuracy and precision. Boundary surveys are essential for land sales, property development, and resolving boundary disputes.

• Construction Staking/Construction Layout:

Our team meticulously stakes out and lays out construction sites according to architectural plans and engineering specifications. This ensures that buildings and structures are erected according to precise dimensions and alignments.

• Elevation Certificates: We provide certified elevation surveys that determine the elevation of buildings and structures above sea level. These certificates are often required for flood insurance purposes and are essential for understanding the flood risk of a property.

• Flood Certificates: We assist in determining floodplains and areas at risk of inundation. Flood certificates are crucial for both construction and insurance purposes.

• Foundation Surveys:

Foundation surveys precisely locate and document the perimeter of existing foundations. These surveys are important for new construction projects to ensure that the foundation is properly aligned with the proposed construction plans.

• Minor Subdivision: We navigate the complexities of subdividing land, ensuring compliance with zoning regulations and local ordinances.

• Property Line Locations:

We accurately determine and mark property lines, resolving boundary disputes and providing clarity for property owners.

• Property Surveys: Comprehensive surveys that encompass all aspects of a property, including boundaries, features, and easements, providing a detailed record of the property's characteristics.

• Topography Surveys: We create detailed maps that depict the elevation, contours, and natural features of a site. These surveys are invaluable for planning construction projects, understanding drainage patterns, and assessing the suitability of land for various uses.

• Tree Surveys:

We identify and map the location and size of trees on a property, essential for planning construction, assessing tree health, and ensuring compliance with tree ordinances.

• Utility Mapping: We locate and map underground utilities such as gas lines, water lines, sewer lines, and electrical cables, preventing inadvertent damage during construction projects.
