Land or Boundary Survey: A survey for the express purpose of locating the corners and boundary lines of a given parcel of land. This involves record and field research, measurements, and computations to establish boundary lines in conformance with applicable state laws. Easement lines may also be located, if requested, with this type of survey.
Construction Layout Survey: Survey measurements made prior to or while construction is in progress to control elevation, horizontal position, dimensions, and configuration, i.e. stakeout of line and grade for buildings, fences, roads, etc.
Record or As-Built Survey: A survey performed to obtain horizontal and or vertical dimensional data so that a constructed facility may be delineated, i.e. foundation survey, or as-built of improvements. Specifically, an As-Built Survey is a survey to physically locate structures and improvements on a parcel of land, generally for mortgage purposes. This does not always include boundary monumentation.
Geodetic Survey: A survey of areas and points affected by and taking into account the curvature of the earth and astronomic observations.
Control Survey: A survey which provides horizontal or vertical positional data for the support or control of subordinate surveys or maps.
Topographic Survey: A survey locating topographic features--natural and man made--such as buildings, improvements, fences, elevations, trees, streams, contours of the land, etc. This type of survey may be required by a governmental agency, or may be used by engineers and/or architects for design of improvements or developments on a site.
Quantity Surveys: A survey performed for the purpose of obtaining measurements of quantities, usually in conjunction with a construction process, earthwork, etc.
ALTA Survey: A survey made for the purpose of supplying a title company and lender with survey and location data necessary to insure the title.
Site Plan Survey: A combination of boundary and topographic surveys for preparation of a site plan to be used for designing improvements or developments, and obtaining government building permits.
Subdivision Survey: The subdivision of a tract of land into smaller parcels, showing monumentation and survey data on a map, in conformance with local ordinances and state law.
Route Survey: A survey showing the location and route of roads, pipelines and utilities.
Oil & Gas Locations: A survey which provides site plan design, location and equipment information for Oil & Gas locations.
