As a land surveying company, we specialize in solving various problems for property owners. We can assist with the following challenges faced by property owners:
- Boundary Determination: We accurately define property boundaries, utilizing our expertise and surveying techniques/equipment to precisely locate and establish property lines. Our surveys locate your deed on the ground and identify possible ambiguities or encroachments, providing you, the property owner, with information to make informed decisions and protect your property rights.
- Encroachment Identification: We assist property owners in identifying encroachments on their land. We analyze records (deeds, maps, etc.) and observe and measure physical evidence (monuments, fences, etc.). Our documentation serves as a valuable resource for legal or negotiation purposes.
- Land Use and Development: Property owners often rely on us to assess the suitability and limitations of their land for development projects. Through topographic surveys, we provide comprehensive information on existing land features, elevations, and contours, empowering owners to make informed decisions regarding construction, grading, and land use planning.
- Title Issues and Discrepancies: Our expertise in land surveying allows us to address discrepancies found in property titles or legal descriptions. By conducting thorough surveys, we ensure that property boundaries described in deeds, easements, or agreements align with physical reality, resolving conflicts and ensuring accurate representation of property rights.
- Flood Zone Determination: We assist property owners in determining whether their land falls within designated flood zones. Through elevation surveys and Elevation Certificates, we provide essential information that influences insurance rates, floodplain management, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
- Subdivision and Parcel Division: Our company is an important component in the complex process of subdividing or dividing land into smaller parcels. We prepare accurate subdivision or parcel maps, enabling property owners to effectively manage their land assets.
