Lot Surveys and Property Surveys
A lot survey or property survey is often requested when an owner needs to better understand a parcel's property lines before building, fencing, selling, buying, financing, or permitting improvements. NWDD can review available records, locate existing survey evidence, perform field measurements, and prepare survey mapping appropriate for the requested scope of work.
Property survey information can help identify visible improvements, apparent encroachments, easements, access conditions, rights-of-way, and other site information that may be important before a project moves forward.
Topographic Surveys
A topographic survey, sometimes referred to as a topographical survey, documents visible site features and existing ground conditions that may be needed for design, planning, permitting, and construction. NWDD can provide topographic survey mapping for residential, commercial, development, and public-agency projects.
Topographic survey information may include existing grades, contours, buildings, driveways, utilities, drainage features, ditches, roads, easements, rights-of-way, trees, fences, and other site features needed for engineering design or permitting.
When appropriate, NWDD can coordinate topographic survey information with civil engineering design, stormwater review, site planning, construction staking, or permitting services.
What NWDD Reviews During Survey Work
Boundary, lot, property, topographic, and condominium survey work may include review of deeds, plats, condominium survey maps, recorded surveys, easements, rights-of-way, existing survey monuments, field evidence, and site conditions. The scope of work depends on the property, available records, project needs, and applicable survey requirements.
Survey information can also support civil engineering design, stormwater review, site planning, access design, and permitting. NWDD can coordinate surveying and engineering needs when a project requires both services.
Condominium Surveys, Revisions, and Updates
NWDD can assist with condominium surveys, revised condominium survey maps, and updated condominium survey exhibits when a project involves a new condominium, condominium conversion, amendment, unit or building layout changes, limited common element clarification, parking or storage area changes, access issues, or record updates.
Condominium survey work may include review of recorded plats, condominium survey maps, declarations, amendments provided for the project, building footprints, unit boundaries, horizontal and vertical control, common elements, limited common elements, easements, and other site conditions. NWDD can coordinate with the owner, attorney, title company, architect, engineer, or reviewing agency when the survey work is part of a larger condominium revision, record update, or permitting process.
