Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our boundary surveying process.
How much does a boundary survey cost?
The cost of a boundary survey depends on several factors, including property size, terrain, accessibility, deed research requirements, and the availability of existing monuments. Contact our office for a project-specific estimate.
How long does a boundary survey take?
Most boundary surveys can be completed within a few weeks, although project timelines vary depending on property complexity, research requirements, and current scheduling.
Do I need a boundary survey before building a fence?
In many cases, yes. A boundary survey helps ensure the fence is installed on your property and can prevent future disputes with neighboring property owners.
What is the difference between a boundary survey and a topographic survey?
A boundary survey determines legal property lines and corners. A topographic survey identifies existing site features and elevations, such as buildings, utilities, trees, and terrain.
Can a boundary survey help resolve a property line dispute?
Yes. A professional boundary survey provides documented evidence of property lines based on recorded legal descriptions and field measurements.
Will property corners be marked?
Yes. When possible, existing property corners are located and marked. If corners are missing, new monuments may be set according to applicable surveying standards.
Do lenders require boundary surveys?
Some commercial transactions and title companies may require a boundary survey or ALTA survey before closing. Requirements vary by lender and transaction type.
