At CEC, we focus on serving commercial clients with accurate and reliable survey services.
CEC surveyors have a depth of professional experience. From reviewing aged deeds to utilizing the latest survey technology, reconciling boundary and title exceptions, and preparing high-quality documents and deliverables, CEC surveyors are proven expert measurers.
While we do not provide services to private residential property owners, hiring a Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) is essential for commercial clients when dealing with property and land development. The expertise of professional surveyors is invaluable, laying the groundwork for sustainable, resilient, and prosperous commercial endeavors.
Here are the top 10 reasons for a commercial client to hire a Professional Land Surveyor:
Title Insurance
An ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey is required for extended title coverage needed by commercial lenders, including the location and depiction of improvements on the subject property, as well as other rights and interests disclosed in the title insurance exceptions, facilitating insurance protection for potential title claims.
Accurate Property Boundaries
Providing precise determination of property lines is crucial for avoiding disputes with adjacent property owners, which can delay or halt commercial projects.
Legal Documentation
Professional surveys are legally recognized documents that support commercial property transactions, leases, and legal disputes, providing clear evidence of property boundaries and features, as well as property descriptions that are included in deeds and other recorded documents.
Zoning and Land Use Compliance
With detailed survey locations of property improvement (e.g. building areas and heights, parking spaces, detention areas, and delineated wetlands), a PLS helps commercial developers ensure their projects comply with local zoning laws and land use regulations, preventing costly fines and project shutdowns.
Construction Staking and As-Built
A PLS provides construction staking to ensure that buildings, roads, and utilities are accurately positioned according to the design plans. As-built surveys verify that the location of completed construction improvements match the approved plans, assisting in ensuring compliance with design specifications and aiding in future maintenance and modifications.
Subdivision and Land Development
For commercial clients looking to subdivide land for development, a PLS creates reliable statutory plats, maps, and plans that meet regulatory requirements, facilitating smooth approval processes.
Topographic Surveys
Detailed topographic surveys inform architects and engineers about the land’s contours and features, aiding in the design of commercial buildings and infrastructure that harmonize with the natural landscape and existing conditions.
Easements and Rights-of-Way
Identifying and documenting easements and rights-of-way ensures that commercial developments respect existing legal rights and avoid conflicts that could disrupt operations.
Floodplain Mapping
Determining if a commercial property is within a flood risk zone or special flood hazard areas is vital for obtaining necessary permits, managing insurance requirements, and mitigating risk for future developments.
Remote Sensing (UAV and LiDAR)
Utilizing UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) and LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology, a PLS can provide detailed 3D deliverables for design and Building Information Modeling (BIM) purposes. This advanced technology offers high-resolution mapping and precise topographical data, enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of design and construction projects.
CEC’s Professional Land Surveyors serve as trusted allies to commercial developers, guiding them through the intricate landscape of land development with precision and expertise. In an industry where accuracy and compliance are paramount, their expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence make them indispensable partners.
