Surveyor?
Most generally, your property and home will be the largest
investment you will make. A Missouri Professional Land
Survey can render a highly technical service in compliance
with applicable State and local laws and regulations. Because
of the technical skills and complexities involved in surveying
your land, Missouri statutes limit the practice of land surveying
only to those duly licensed by the Missouri Board for
Architects, Professional Engineers and Professional Land
Surveyors. Only a surveyor who has completed the
education, experience and standardized testing can be
licensed to provide any type of land surveying service.
What are the different types of services offered?
The Lot Survey is a re-survey of a previously platted
subdivision lot. The lot corners are located or reset in
accordance to the current “Missouri Standards for Property
Boundary Surveys”, the location of all visible improvements
are measured and shown, any platted easements affecting the
property are located and plotted, and compiled onto a drawing
for the use of a lender and/or the property owner.
A Boundary Survey is the retracement of the property deed
when described by Metes and Bounds (direction and
distance). Boundary surveys may require extensive research
of adjoining property deeds, County survey records, road
rights-of-way and original government land corner records. As
required by statute, all property corners are to be shown or re-
established for the property. Again, this survey must be
completed in accordance to the “Missouri Standards for
Property Boundary Surveys”. If required by the owner or
lender, existing improvements may be also located and shown
on the final drawing.
A Topographic Survey is a graphic representation of the
natural and man-made features of the property. These
surveys are most generally used by Architects and
Professional Engineers for the design of improvements on that
property.
Subdivision Platting and Development for residential or
commercial land use. When splitting a property into 2 or more
lots or tracts of land, there are various steps involved prior to
being able to develop and sell the lots. We can manage your
project from the preliminary planning stage to the recording of
the final plat. While working closely with a Civil Engineer,
these services can include: providing lot layouts, road layout
and design, site utility layout and design, and services
required through the construction phase.
When do I need a survey and how much will it cost?
You will need a survey;
- if you are purchasing property,
- prior to constructing any improvements on your property,
- prior to subdividing your property into smaller lots or parcels,
- to verify the area of the property for tax or insurance values,
- when you think someone has encroached onto your property.
The cost of the survey can vary with the type of survey
required. The complexity and difficulty can vary each
property, so the cost of the survey can only be fairly
determined after an evaluation of the type of service and
preliminary research of the property has been completed.
