Founded in 2004, the firm's principals have more than 50 years of professional surveying experience with ALTA/NSPS, construction, design, boundary and easement surveys in several states. With several licensed professionals on staff, we take pride in our ability to have a qualified representative in the field and in the office working on every aspect of your project.
ALTA/NSPS surveys are the backbone of the commercial lending industry. These standards, developed in 1962, are continually updated by the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS). They provide the minimum requirements for surveys that title agencies reference to remove standard survey exceptions for title insurance policies.
Surveys for commercial sites vary from project to project. Many consist of a combination of boundary retracements, wetland mapping, floodplain mapping, easement retracement and description creation, and utility locations. But they can also involve more complicated matters. In some cases, tree and building heights are required (e.g. for solar arrays, or in close proximity to airports) and detailed applications of parcel zoning must be completed to determine the current and future use.
These are common questions from land-owners that in many cases don't have an easy answer. As surveyors, we are charged with offering an opinion as to the location of a parcel boundary line based on the description within the deed and evidence as located in the field. The detailed analysis of field evidence (monuments), deed descriptions and record evidence all contribute to the location marked in the field representing the parcel line.
