Our Land Surveying staff are eager to discuss your land surveying needs. We have experience in all types of land surveying. Some of these other survey types are more specialized. These are discussed below along with a brief explanation of each.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t \u00a0if you need boundary lines marked it might be best to do that in the winter when the leaves are off.

A \u201clot\u201d in this case is assumed to be part of a larger subdivision where multiple lots have been developed at one time and a plat has been recorded in the local courthouse.<\/p> A lot is typically under an acre in size. The lot is then described, for example, as \u201cLot 21 of Peachy Subdivision Phase 2 as recorded in Plat Book 12, Page 32 in the Covington County Probate Office.\u201d If the lot is described according to a deed description (metes and bounds) then we call that a boundary survey. We don\u2019t typically do these associated with an ALTA survey. \u00a0is normally on a much larger parcel, typically larger than one acre. This type involves locating the property corners as marked by an iron pipe, a rebar, or some other monument and preparing a survey drawing. Improvements on the parcel may or may not be located, depending on the proposed use of the survey. Boundary lines<\/a> may or may not be marked, depending on the clients\u2019 request. Easement lines, if any, will also be located.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t Surveying measurements that are made prior to, or while a site is under construction, to control the horizontal position and vertical position (elevation).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t A site plan is prepared, normally, in order to obtain approval to construct some type structure on a lot, like a house. This may involve field work, depending on the circumstances. The majority of site plans are completed in the office. After approval of the site plan, then some construction staking might take place.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t A survey that locates natural and man-made features such as buildings, fences, improvements, easements, utilities, trees, streams (called planimetric items.) Elevation shots are also taken on the ground in order to produce contour maps<\/a> which represent the surface of the earth.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t This type is done in order to divide a parcel into smaller parcels. This might be as few as two lots or hundreds or lots.<\/p> A subdivision \u201cplat\u201d (drawing) is completed which is then approved by the county and\/or city and then recorded in the local courthouse.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t Performed to determine the elevation of a structure (home or business) and it\u2019s relation to the floodplain.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\tMoney Saving Hint \u2013<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
