Types of Surveys Available

"Mortgage Survey - One Trip"
Performed after the construction is complete on an existing home for mortgage purposes. The purpose of this survey is to show encroachments and any improvements to the property.

"Foundation Survey"
Conducted after the foundation of the house is poured. Not always adequate for obtaining title insurance and not as complete as a construction mortgage survey.

"Construction Mortgage Survey - Two Trip"
Required for new construction. Indicates the location of new construction or where the new home will be built. Owner/builder places stakes at the location of the proposed building and these stakes are located on the first trip. The second trip locates everything once construction is complete.

"Construction Boundary Survey - Two Trip"
Required when client wants to locate the boundary of the property (property corners) so they will know where to place the home. The second trip to locate everything once the construction is complete.

"Boundry Survey"
