Surveying
When planning a new construction project, a certified plot plan is required for many long form applications as well as many zoning and plan review departments. It is necessary to adequately review the piece of land for approval of your project.
We have historically completed plot plans for projects such as In-Ground Pools, Decks, Sun-Rooms and other various Additions!
This type of drawing reflects everything existing on a property, such as any buildings, roads or structures.
This may be done pre-construction to plan the project, or post-construction to validate the construction done.
Commonly used drawings during construction, to reflect any changes from the intended design of your structure.
A Foundation As-Built may be required to show your building being within your community’s setback requirements. A Septic As-Built is generally required after installing a septic system to verify its grading and positioning.
Showing contours and elevations of natural and man-made features, such as an artificial fill or grading over a septic system.
This is a precise combination of research and field work to determine where your property begins and ends. Sometimes referred to as a Property Line Survey or Lot Survey, this often includes locating the boundaries of neighboring properties, staking your lot lines, and/or setting pins in the corners of your lot.
This includes working with towns and cities for permits, As-Built Plans, Construction Stakeouts, Road Layouts, Project Management, Inspections & Certifications, Property Line Determinations, and Site Planning
Studying any existing or future hydrology conditions
When planning a new building or substantial home renovation within a flood hazard area, you may be required to certify proper elevation of your home. It is also sometimes necessary when trying to obtain Flood Insurance.
After locating your lot corners, we can provide any number of markers along one or more property line. For corners, this may be an iron rod or a drill hole, while lot lines may be flagging or wooden stake.
