The land surveyors on this team would like to explain the differences between different types of surveys, and when they may be needed:

• Land Title Survey: Most homeowners will be familiar with land title surveys, which are usually required by lenders, financial institutions, and title companies before closing on a property. Primarily, these surveys detail the property boundaries, improvements, easements, and rights-of-way, and any other element that impacts the ownership of the asset in question.
• As-Built Survey: After a construction project, financial institutions or local municipalities may request a particular survey to verify that a project was completed according to the original designs and up to all relevant codes. If you are planning on adding onto an existing structure, you may need an As-Built Survey to establish the exact location of existing improvements and utility lines.
• Property Survey: Using the legal description and evidence located in the field, a land surveyor performing a property survey is tasked with establishing and marking the boundaries of an existing land parcel. Additionally, the survey may show the location of buildings, driveways, waterways, and other buildings.
• Topographic Surveys: A topographical survey is concerned primarily with the grades and elevations in a plot of land, showing valleys, hills, drainage areas, and other natural features which may impact an upcoming construction project.
