Record of Survey & Topographical Map

Record of Survey & Topographical Map surveys – Our most popular product - are needed when you are wanting to build and improve a vacant lot or do an addition to an existing property. We will locate your property corners on the ground and will find or set monuments at the property corners. The topography map includes 2 foot contours over the entire lot, locate the existing road and all visible utilities or utility stubs. The contour map will enable your design team to place your home both horizontally and vertically to ensure it is in the building envelope and complies with any building height restrictions. Also, this will allow for the driveway design to meet the grading requirements of your particular jurisdiction. If you are doing an addition to an existing home this survey would include the existing buildings, finished floor elevation of the main level and garage, locate the existing driveway, decks and landscaping features. This survey will be filed with the County as an Official Record.
