Foothills Land Surveying

Below is a brief description of some of the services we offer. Contact us today to find out how we can be of assistance for all of your land surveying needs. 

• ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey: a surveying standard jointly proposed by the American Land Title Association and the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping that incorporates elements of the boundary survey, mortgage survey, and topographic survey.

• As-built survey: a survey carried out during or immediately after a construction project for record, completion evaluation and payment purposes. An as-built survey also known as a 'works as executed survey' documents the location of the recently constructed elements that are subject to completion evaluation.

• Boundary survey: a survey that establishes boundaries of a parcel using its legal description, which typically involves the setting or restoration of monuments or markers at the corners or along the lines of the parcel, often in the form of iron rods, pipes, or concrete monuments in the ground, or nails set in concrete or asphalt.

• Deformation survey: a survey to determine if a structure or object is changing shape or moving. The three-dimensional positions of specific points on an object are determined, a period of time is allowed to pass, these positions are then re-measured and calculated, and a comparison between the two sets of positions is made.

• Engineering survey: those surveys associated with  engineering design (topographic, layout and as-built)

• Elevation Certificates: documents prepared to determine base flood elevations, required for flood insurance

• Foundation survey: a survey done to collect the positional data on a foundation that has been poured and is cured. This is done to ensure that the foundation was constructed in the location, and at the elevation, authorized in the plot plan, site plan, or subdivision plan.
• Site Plans: surveys that depict topographic, erosion control, boundary and construction information as they relate to the construction or renevation process

 

• Topographic survey: a survey which depicts existing (or proposed) ground elevations in the form of contour lines.
