OUR SERVICES

Expert land surveying solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial projects across Georgia.

Boundary Surveys

Define your ownership with legal accuracy.

The Importance of Knowing Your Lines

Uncertainty about property lines can lead to costly disputes with neighbors, halted construction projects, or issues when selling your home. Relying on "old fences" or assumptions is a risk you shouldn't take.

Precise Retracement & Documentation

Our Boundary Survey service provides a comprehensive solution. We research county records, locate existing markers, and measure your land with advanced GPS and total station equipment. The result is a legal plat, recorded with the county, that stands as the definitive record of your property rights.

When Do You Need This?

  • Buying or selling a property
  • Installing a fence or retaining wall
  • Resolving a boundary dispute
  • Obtaining a building permit

ALTA/NSPS Surveys

The gold standard for commercial real estate transactions.

What is an ALTA Survey?

An ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey is a comprehensive boundary survey that meets the rigorous standards set by the American Land Title Association and the National Society of Professional Surveyors. These surveys are typically required for commercial real estate transactions and provide detailed information about property boundaries, improvements, easements, and encroachments.

What We Include

  • Retracement
  • Location of all improvements and structures
  • Easement identification and mapping
  • Encroachment detection
  • Zoning classification verification
  • Flood zone determination

Who Requires ALTA Surveys?

Title insurance companies, commercial lenders, and attorneys commonly require ALTA surveys before closing on commercial properties. They protect all parties by providing a complete picture of the property's physical and legal characteristics.

Site Plans

Detailed mapping for architects, engineers, and permitting.

What is a Site Plan?

A site plan is a detailed drawing that shows existing conditions on a property, including structures, topography, and vegetation. These surveys are essential for new construction, renovations, and obtaining permits from local jurisdictions.

What We Map

  • Existing and proposed improvements
  • Topographic contours and elevations
  • Drainage and water features
  • Trees if required
  • Driveways, parking, and access points

Construction Staking

Expert layout for buildings, foundations, and improvements.

What is Construction Staking?

Construction staking (also called building layout) transfers the design from your building plans to the actual ground. We set accurate stakes showing building corners, foundation lines, and elevation benchmarks so your contractor can build in exactly the right location.

What We Can Stake

  • Building corners and offsets
  • Foundation layout
  • Setback verification
  • Driveway and parking areas
  • Elevation benchmarks

Why It Matters

Building in the wrong location can result in setback violations, encroachments on neighboring property, or costly rework. Our professional staking ensures your project starts right and meets all local requirements.

Parcel Splits

Subdivide your land into multiple legal parcels.

What is a Parcel Split?

A parcel split (or subdivision) is the legal process of dividing a single tract of land into two or more separate parcels. This requires thorough surveying, plat preparation, and approval from the local planning department and county commissioners.

Our Process

  • Research existing deeds and county records
  • Field survey to establish boundaries
  • Design proposed lot layout
  • Prepare subdivision plat for county submission
  • Set new monuments at lot corners

Combining Parcels

Merge adjacent lots into a single legal tract.

Why Combine Parcels?

Combining parcels (also called lot consolidation) merges two or more adjacent lots into a single legal tract. This can increase building potential, simplify property taxes and ownership, or meet zoning requirements for larger minimum lot sizes.

Benefits

  • Single tax parcel instead of multiple
  • Meet minimum lot size requirements
  • Eliminate internal boundary lines
  • Maximize building footprint options

Property Line Marking

Visible staking so you know exactly where your property ends.

What is Property Line Marking?

Property line marking (also called staking or flagging) is when we physically mark your property corners and lines with visible stakes, flags, or paint. This gives you a clear, on-the-ground understanding of where your property begins and ends.

Perfect For

  • Fence installation projects
  • Landscaping and tree clearing
  • Neighbor boundary clarification
  • New construction planning

Land Planning

Conceptual layouts and feasibility analysis for development.

What is Land Planning?

Land planning involves creating conceptual layouts for subdivision developments before committing to full engineering. We help you visualize potential lot counts, road layouts, and infrastructure requirements so you can make informed investment decisions.

What We Analyze

  • Zoning requirements and setbacks
  • Maximum lot yield potential
  • Road and access requirements
  • Topographic constraints
  • Infrastructure availability and connections

Building Staking

Accurate placement of building footprints on your lot.

What is Building Staking?

Building staking is the process of marking the exact position where a new structure will be built on your property. Using your approved site plan and architectural drawings, we translate the design coordinates to physical stakes in the ground so your builder knows exactly where to break ground.

Who Needs Building Staking?

  • Homeowners building a new house
  • Commercial developers starting new construction
  • Contractors needing Accurate building corner locations
  • Projects requiring setback compliance verification

We review your building plans, verify property boundaries, and use GPS and total station equipment to set stakes at each building corner. We also mark offset stakes so can be recovered after excavation begins. A staking report can be provided upon request.

Topographic Surveys

Detailed elevation and terrain mapping for design and engineering.

What is a Topographic Survey?

A topographic survey maps the natural and man-made features of a property, including elevation changes, contour lines, trees, streams, and structures. Engineers and architects rely on topographic data to design grading plans, drainage systems, and building layouts that work with the land.

What We Capture

  • Ground elevation contours at Accurate intervals
  • Existing structures and hardscape features
  • Trees, vegetation, and natural features
  • Drainage patterns and waterways
  • Drainage features and access points

Common Uses

Topographic surveys are essential for new construction site design, grading and drainage engineering, environmental assessments, and any project where understanding the terrain is critical to a successful outcome.

Demolition Plans

Survey-grade documentation required before teardown begins.

What is a Demolition Plan?

A demolition plan is a survey-based document that maps existing structures and site features scheduled for removal. Local building departments often require a demolition plan before issuing permits. The plan identifies what stays and what goes to prevent damage during teardown.

What We Include

  • Location of all structures to be demolished
  • Property boundary verification
  • Setback and easement identification
  • Adjacent property documentation

Alcohol Surveys

Distance certifications for liquor license applications.

An alcohol survey (also called a distance survey or proximity survey) measures the approximate distance between a proposed alcohol-selling establishment and nearby churches, schools, and other restricted properties. Georgia law requires these measurements before a liquor license can be granted, and they must be certified by a licensed land surveyor.

Who Needs This?

  • Restaurants applying for a liquor license
  • Convenience stores seeking beer and wine permits
  • Bars, breweries, and entertainment venues
  • Package stores and liquor retailers

Our Process

We identify all qualifying restricted properties within the required radius, measure door-to-door distances along public rights-of-way per Georgia regulations, and provide a certified plat that meets county and city requirements for your license application.

Flood Certificates

Elevation certificates and flood zone determinations.

What is a Flood Certificate?

A flood certificate (or elevation certificate) documents the elevation of a building relative to the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) established by FEMA. Lenders, insurance companies, and local floodplain managers use this information to determine flood insurance requirements and verify compliance with floodplain regulations.

When You Need One

  • Purchasing or refinancing a home in a flood zone
  • Applying for or reducing flood insurance premiums
  • New construction in or near a floodplain
  • LOMA or LOMR applications to FEMA
  • Building permit requirements in flood-prone areas

Foundation Surveys

Verify your foundation is built in the right location.

What is a Foundation Survey?

A foundation survey (also called a form survey or foundation location survey) is performed after the foundation is poured but before framing begins. It verifies that the foundation was placed in the correct location on the lot, meets required setbacks, and conforms to the approved site plan. Many lenders and building departments require this survey before allowing construction to proceed.

What We Verify

  • Foundation location matches approved plans
  • Setback distances from all property lines
  • Foundation elevation and height compliance
  • Easement clearance verification
  • Flood elevation compliance (if applicable)

Erosion Control

Compliance surveys for sediment and erosion prevention.

What is an Erosion Control Survey?

Erosion control surveys document existing site conditions, drainage patterns, and soil disturbance areas to support the design and installation of sediment and erosion control measures. Georgia's Environmental Protection Division (EPD) requires erosion control plans for most land-disturbing activities exceeding one acre.

What We Provide

  • Existing topographic and drainage mapping
  • Silt fence and BMP placement layouts
  • Disturbed area calculations
  • Stream and wetland buffer identification
  • Compliance documentation for EPD permits

Who Needs This?

Any developer, builder, or landowner planning to clear, grade, or develop land in Georgia needs erosion control compliance. We work alongside your engineer to provide the survey data needed for a complete erosion and sediment control plan.
