At Meridian Geomatics LLC, we conduct residential & commercial surveying services to help locals understand their properties and prepare for major projects. You might think that all land surveys are the same, but you’d be wrong. There are several key types of residential & commercial surveying services, and we’d like to take a moment to outline their specifics and when they might be useful. Let’s explore the world of surveying!
- Boundary Surveys – Boundary surveys are used to identify property lines, corners, and easements. They help clearly delineate who owns specific areas of land and are useful for property transactions and settling land disputes. They are also helpful for land development projects when the land will be subdivided or multiple parcels will be combined.
- Topographic Surveys – These surveys map out the natural and man-made features of a site, such as elevation changes and contours, as well as features like trees, buildings, or utilities. They are integral to site planning for new construction, for drainage design, and for environmental assessments.
- ALTA Land Title Surveys – These detailed surveys are often required for commercial real estate transactions and development and must meet specific standards set by the American Land Title Association (ALTA). Lenders may require ALTA surveys as part of their due diligence process when they’re assessing the risk of financing a commercial property.
- Construction Surveys – A construction survey will provide detailed and accurate measurements of structures, utilities, and any infrastructure during the construction process. They help ensure that the project is adhering to the plans and specifications and are an integral part of quality assurance.
These are just a few of the situations where surveying services like ours are needed or useful. To learn more about residential & commercial surveying, or to speak with a member of our team about scheduling our services, reach out to our office today!
