Our Services
Boundary Resolution & Disputes
Boundary resolution in professional surveying is the process of identifying, analyzing, and establishing the true legal property lines when boundaries are uncertain, disputed, or unclear. In practical surveying terms, it involves:
Researching legal records – deeds, plats, easements, right-of-way documents, and prior surveys
Field investigation – locating existing monuments, markers, fences, and occupation lines
Measurement and analysis – using precise surveying equipment to compare record data with physical evidence
Professional judgment – weighing conflicting evidence to determine the most defensible boundary location under state law and surveying standards
Documentation – preparing plats, maps, and reports that clearly show the resolved boundary
Support for resolution – providing expert testimony or exhibits if disputes proceed to mediation or court
Overall, boundary resolution ensures property lines are legally defensible, accurately mapped, and clearly communicated, helping prevent or resolve disputes between landowners and supporting land development, conveyance, and land-use decisions.
ALTA/NSPS Surveys and Base Mapping/Control
ALTA surveys, topographical surveys, and base mapping are used together to provide a complete, reliable picture of a property for planning, development, and real estate transactions.
ALTA surveys support property transfers and financing by defining boundaries, identifying easements and encroachments, and meeting title insurance and lender requirements.
Topographical surveys document elevations and site features to support engineering, drainage, grading, and construction design. Base mapping combines survey data into a consistent, scalable map used by planners, engineers, and designers as the foundation for project layouts.
Together, they ensure projects are legally sound, accurately designed, and efficiently coordinated from due diligence through construction.
Subdivision Design and Layout
Subdivision design in professional surveying involves planning and laying out land divisions in a way that is accurate, compliant, and approvable by local authorities.
From a surveying standpoint, it includes:
-
Boundary and topographic surveys to establish existing property limits and site conditions
-
Lot layout and geometry designed to meet zoning, minimum lot size, frontage, and setback requirements
-
Right-of-way and easement planning for roads, utilities, drainage, and access in accordance with local standards
-
Preparation of subdivision plats and that comply with municipal, county, or regional regulations
-
Coordination with local authorities and engineering firms to address review comments and secure approvals
-
Construction staking to ensure the subdivision is built as approved
We ensure the subdivision design is technically sound, legally defensible, and aligned with local development codes, enabling efficient review, approval, and long-term record clarity.
