Property Line Locate and
Fence Surveys
We locate and verify location
of all property corners that still
exist. It is very common for property
corners to be missing due to utilities,
landscaping, previous fence installation
or just from previous owners pulling
them out. This survey does not replace
those missing property corners, refer to
Plat of Survey for replacing corners.
A common add on to this is to put points
on the lines of the property, which will
help with the placing of fences and
landscaping.

Site Plan
This is commonly used for planning and a
general over look of what is located on
a property. Included in this we will
locate all corners of the property that
exist but will not replace missing
corners. This will allow us to keep the
cost down on a survey when someone needs
there house located for planning or
building permits but does not want to
have a full Plat of Survey performed.
Along with this we locate all pavement,
concrete, fences, sheds and any other
features that an owner would like to see
in relation to their property lines. A
common add on to this survey is a
Topographic survey for design work.

Plat of Survey
In the State of Wisconsin it is state
statute that if a surveyor sets or
replaces a corner of a property they
must do a Plat of Survey showing how
they re-established that corner, than
the map needs to be filed with the
county were it is located for future
public record. A Plat of Survey can be
done on one line of a parcel or on the
entire parcel, the owner can decide
whether we include or exclude
improvements such as buildings, parking,
driveways, fences, etc. When completed,
the map will show the exact boundary of
the property per their deed, along with
any encroachments or discrepancies that
should be addressed.

Flood Plain Map or FEMA
Certifications
This is used to certify that a building
or entire property is or is not located
in the flood plain. Commonly required by
a mortgage lender, insurance company or
zoning departments. Many buildings that
are located near or on any waterways or
wetlands will find that they are being
required to get flood insurance. FEMA
maps showing the Flood Plain are very
broad and done at a very large scale,
many times a persons property is not in
the flood plain. By doing a FEMA/LOMA
Certificate, we can remove their
building from the flood plain which will
relieve them from being forced to get
flood insurance, or will make the
insurance much more affordable.

Certified Survey Maps
This is a survey that is used in
creating 1-4 new lots or building sites
or done to modify existing property
lines. Typically this is about a 6 month
process, where we will handle all the
Town, Village, City and County
requirements for filing applications and
preparing necessary documents for these
meetings. The owner will need to attend
the government meetings to answer any
questions that they might have as to why
they are doing what they are doing. This
process takes a long time, but we handle
all the technical and tedious aspects of
it so that it really is just a matter of
waiting for the process to be completed.

Subdivisions and Planning
With this we will work with owners and
engineers in the designing of streets
and lot layouts for the division of a
larger tract of land into 5 or more
smaller lots or buildable sites. We have
worked on many Plats over the years and
are very well versed in the process of
getting them approved and through the
construction phases of development.

ALTA/ACSM Surveys
This is a very common survey for
commercial sites, but will sometimes be
required for residential sites as well.
This survey requires specific details
and standards as set forth in the
American Land Title Association or
American Congress of Surveying and
Mapping. A 60 year title report is
required for this survey. The lender
requiring the survey will fill out a
checklist of all the additional
requirements they want shown on the
survey. Once complete, the ALTA/ACSM
Survey will aid the lender in approving
a loan on the property.

Commercial Construction
Staking and Parking Lot Staking
This service includes parking pavement,
curb, commercial buildings, utilities
and grades for ponds and ditches. We
work with many different contractors and
will customize our stake out methods to
what the individual excavator, builder,
concrete company or utility company
wants. A typical building stake out will
include all the corners of the
foundation for the excavator to dig the
basement or footings along with offsets
that can be saved so that the concrete
company can lay the building out in the
same location. A typical parking lot,
utility or pond stake out will included
staking of the actual curb, utility line
or top/toe of pond along with an offset
that shows the cut or fill to finished
grade.

Legal Descriptions
This service is commonly used for
easements, utilities, quit claim deeds,
deed restrictions and annexations. We
will work with you or your lawyer to
give you a description and many times an
exhibit map showing the described area.
Property descriptions need to be worded
a specific way to make sure there is as
little room for interpretation as
possible. Many lawyers will attempt to
write property descriptions for deeds
and etc. but are not always well versed
with the importance of specific land
calls and order of importance for land
descriptions.
