Service Detail
Survey-grade documentation required before teardown begins.
A demolition plan is a survey-based document that maps existing structures and site features scheduled for removal before a building can be torn down. Local building departments across Georgia require a demolition plan before issuing permits because it identifies what stays, what goes, and how to prevent damage and ensure safety during teardown operations.
Without a proper demolition plan, contractors risk encroaching on neighboring properties or disturbing protected environmental features. A professional demolition plan eliminates these risks by providing a clear, survey-accurate map of all structures and features on the site.
At S&S Land Surveying, we produce demolition plans that satisfy building department requirements across all of Georgia. Our plans include accurate measurements of all structures to be demolished, their relationship to property boundaries and easements, and documentation of adjacent properties and features that must be protected. We verify everything with our own field measurements.
Demolition plans are commonly needed before redevelopment projects, when replacing an old structure with new construction, or when clearing a site for a change of use. Many of our clients in Cedartown, Rome, Cartersville, and surrounding areas combine the demolition plan with a topographic survey or site plan for the new construction, saving time and money by using one surveyor for the entire project.

Absolutely. We frequently handle both the pre-demolition survey and the subsequent site plan or topographic survey for new construction. Combining these services with one surveyor saves time and money since we already have the site data.
