We are happy to help you determine which type of survey you need.

There are typically seven types of surveys:

1. ALTA/NSPS - comprehensive land survey usually for title company / mortgage lender

2. Boundary - to located property corners and boundary lines

3. Construction - survey of structures including horizontal and vertical grading and staking

4. Location - zoning permits

5. Site Planning - combines boundary and topographic survey for building

6. Subdivision or Partition - to divide parcels or land; may include streets and drainage

7. Topographic - surveying of natural features as well as man-made

The location of boundary lines is an important piece of information to have before you build on your property. Before you build a fence, driveway or structural addition to your home, you want to make sure it will be built on your property, not your neighbor's. A boundary certification will tell you whether the legal description of your property is accurate. Many times homeowners and their neighbors are operating under the wrong assumption about the placement of the boundary line between your properties.

The cost of a survey is dependent upon the type of survey required, the location of the survey and the time frame requested. We would be happy to provide an estimate of your project needs.

Most people are used to seeing surveyors out “in the field”, but much of the time spent on a survey is dedicated to document research, data processing & analysis, survey plat preparation and preparing the Professional Surveyor’s report. On a typical residential lot survey, the time in the field surveying may be three to four hours, whereas the office time may be ten to twelve hours behind the scenes.

Depending on the size of your property, your land survey could take 2-4 hours at your property, but 1-2 weeks to receive your official survey.

• The purpose of your survey

• Any survey documents or information related to the property.

• The history of ownership if known or available.
