The range of boundary surveys performed by certified land surveyors like Chris Nelson & Associates includes a handful of significant options, all or some of which may be relevant to the needs of a property owner, developer, financier or title insurer. Basically the types of boundary surveys relate to showing the perimeters of the property as recorded on the title records, with comparison to such features as roads or easements, physical improvements like buildings or paved areas, and certification to the highest standards of the surveying industry and state and local authorities.
Route Surveys
A route survey begins with boundary surveys of the property, and focuses on aspects such as easements, right of ways, roads and utilities that have routes through or over the property. Used by government agencies and utility companies to determine critical information about the land, route surveys are one of the services that a skilled surveyor can provide.
As-Built
An As-Built Survey shows location and parameters of physical improvements, structures, and buildings within the boundary surveys of the property. Allowing contractors or planners to assess the property on the plans in the condition it is in, as-built surveys will show details such as set-backs from property lines and locations of structures on the ground.
ALTA/ACSM Surveys
Certified by the governing organizations in surveying, the American Land Title Association and the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping, the surveys that bear the ALTA/ACSM certification include through preparation of record including property title and status, supplemented with field work and evidence gathering to produce the survey report.
Construction Surveys
In preparation for development, surveyors assess everything from boundary survey to topography features, and places markers at locations designated for construction. Using robotic surveying instruments and state-of-the-art GPS devices to precisely and thoroughly document the site conditions and the locations of all proposed improvements, a construction survey gets the crew ready to begin work on the ground.
