ALTA/NSPS Surveys
ALTA/NSPS Surveys provide comprehensive commercial property assessments meeting title insurance requirements. These detailed site surveys create scaled maps showing boundary lines, structures, easements, and other critical features for large-scale developments. Our certified professionals use advanced equipment to deliver accurate documentation that satisfies lenders and title companies for commercial property transactions.
Property Subdivision
Property Subdivision services create new lots or units for development through precise boundary determination. We handle residential, commercial, and storage developments including planned unit developments and common interest communities. Our process includes public hearing representation and preparation of legal descriptions to meet local zoning requirements while maintaining property value integrity.

Topographic Surveys map existing site conditions for construction or remodeling projects. These surveys identify boundary corners, structures, utilities, elevations, and water features like ordinary high water marks. Our detailed documentation meets permitting requirements while providing essential data for architectural and engineering design plans.

We mark critical points for buildings, roads, and parking lots during both design and construction phases. Our accurate layout services ensure proper implementation of approved plans while minimizing costly field adjustments.
