Boundary Surveys

A boundary survey is necessary in many cases including, but not limited to, property-line disputes or construction near property lines. In most cases, a map called a “Record of Survey” is required to be filed with the county recorder.

Condominium Surveys

Condominium projects require a subdivision map to be approved by city agencies and then filed at the county recorder’s office. A condominium plan showing the boundaries and elevations of each unit, along with common areas, is also prepared and recorded.

Construction Layout

Construction layout is the setting of markers in the ground to be used by contractors when building structures, roads, bridges, pipelines, and canals.

Monitoring Surveys

Monitoring surveys are done for buildings adjacent to a construction project. Measurements are taken at specific points on the buildings before, during, and after the excavation process and are then compared to determine if there has been any changes.

3D Scanning

3D scanning is a fast way to collect millions of points on a surface that can either be used by architects using BIM software or brought into AutoCad to create a conventional 2D or 3D drawing. The image shown here is a Westover Surveying scan of a building façade

ALTA/NSPS Surveys

ALTA/NSPS land title surveys are normally done on commercial property when the title is transferred or when there are questions regarding easements and encroachments.

Site Surveys

A topographic site survey shows existing improvements and elevations on a property. It is normally done for architects or engineers for the purpose of planning and design changes to buildings, landscaping, or drainage.

FEMA Elevation Certs

A FEMA elevation certificate is done for property that may fall within a flood-hazard zone. This survey can determine if a building’s floor elevation lies above the base flood elevation as shown on FEMA maps.
