Planning for Plat Recording

While every property presents unique conditions that can lead to unexpected findings, our practical approach helps anticipate and mitigate those issues, reducing delays and controlling costs.
What Is a Boundary Survey?
A boundary survey determines the legal limits of a parcel of land. The land surveyor combines courthouse record research, physical field evidence, and professional analysis to determine the appropriate locations of boundary lines and corners.
Our Process
Courthouse Research
Every boundary survey begins at the courthouse. We acquire and review the subject property’s current deed and relevant past deeds, and — when necessary — the deeds of contiguous neighbors. In some cases, we extend research to multiple neighboring parcels. The depth of research depends on the scope of work and findings revealed during deed review.
Digital Mapping
After deed research, we produce a georeferenced digital drawing of the deed descriptions for field crews to use on-site. This digital map helps crews narrow their search area; once two or more corners are located, the map is adjusted to fit those monuments, and the search for remaining monuments becomes more efficient.
Licensed Surveyor Review
When field crews have located monuments or determined additional work is required, the collected data is submitted to the office for review. Our licensed surveyor evaluates the located data against courthouse records and directs the next steps — whether that means extending searches, setting missing corners, or finalizing the boundary survey. y.
