A property survey is the most basic service provided by a land surveyor. The basic property survey shows the official boundaries of your properties on a paper drawing as an electronic drawing if needed. In addition to property documentation, the survey crew places iron pin markers at the corners and intermediate line points of the property. Property owners often need to know where the boundaries and corners of their property are physically located. The boundary location can impact maintenance of the property, placement of fences, and construction of structures.
A topographic survey is a property survey that shows local variation in elevation, also known as vertical relief or contours. A topographic survey is often required when you are planning on developing or building on your property. Architects and engineers use the topographic survey as a starting point as they develop plans for the buildings, structures, or other features of the planned property. An accurate property survey is the starting point for a topographic survey. In addition to the field work required for a property survey, the surveying crew sets up a grid on the property and measures the elevation at each point.
