We also have longstanding relationships with area title companies, lenders, mortgage companies, and local governments, which helps to expedite the completion of your survey.
A boundary survey is a survey to establish the boundaries of a parcel using its legal description. This typically involves the setting or restoration of monuments or markers at the corners or along the lines of the parcel, often in the form of iron rods, pipes, or concrete monuments in the ground, or nails set in concrete or asphalt. In the past, wooden posts, blazes in trees, piled stone corners, or other types of monuments have also been used. A map or plat is then drafted from the field data to provide a representation of the parcel surveyed.
This is the initial survey of your lot. Your property corners are clearly marked with stakes, flagging, and orange glow paint. For an additional fee, we can also stake the corners of your future building, making it easier for the forms to be set. This is the second phase of the new construction process. A form survey will re-identify the property corners and record the location of the form boards on the lot. This ensures that your building is where you want it to be, outside all building lines and utility easements.
