A Brief Glimpse at Different Types of Surveys

At Meridian Geomatics LLC, our land survey company performs a variety of surveys. Here is a closer look at some of the services our land survey company offers:

  • Boundary surveys: This is perhaps the most well-known type of survey we perform. A boundary survey determines the exact location of property lines, identifying corners and boundaries. These surveys are essential for resolving disputes and ensuring new construction stays within legal limits.
  • Topographic surveys: Topographic surveys provide detailed information about a piece of land’s physical features, including elevation, contours, and natural and artificial features, such as buildings and trees. This type of survey is critical for architects and engineers when designing drainage systems and building layouts.
  • ALTA/Land title surveys: These comprehensive surveys meet the standards set by the American Land Title Association. These surveys combine boundary, topographic, and other surveys to provide detailed information for title insurance purposes. These surveys are often required as part of commercial real estate transactions.
