Pre-Survey Assessment

Service Description:

The “Pre-Survey Assessment” service offers clients an initial evaluation of their land before conducting an official topographic survey. This type of assessment helps landowners and developers gain a general understanding of the land’s characteristics, such as size, topography, existing structures, and potential building zones.

Purpose and Usage:

The purpose of the pre-survey assessment is to provide clients with basic information to better understand the possibilities and limitations of their land before beginning more detailed planning or construction. This assessment allows clients to:

  • Identify approximate property boundaries.
  • Evaluate potential building zones, taking into account setbacks from property lines.
  • Understand key topographical features and land slope.
  • Prepare preliminary plans for discussion with architects and engineers.
  • Provide an initial construction cost estimate based on the gathered information, enabling clients to plan their budget and consider different project options in advance.

Differences from Official Surveys:

The pre-survey assessment is not an official topographic survey, which is required for obtaining building permits. Unlike an official survey, this service does not consider all legal aspects and does not include the precise measurements required for legal documentation.

  • Official Survey: Required for legal purposes, such as obtaining building permits, includes precise boundary measurements, and is conducted by licensed professionals.
  • Pre-Survey Assessment: Provides general information for preliminary planning, useful for initial land evaluation, does not require licensing, and has no legal authority.

Benefits for Clients:

  • Quick and cost-effective solution for initial land analysis.
  • Allows clients to identify potential issues or constraints early.
  • Helps in budget planning and developing initial project plans.
  • Enables clients to estimate preliminary construction costs, allowing for more informed decision-making in the early stages of planning.
  • An excellent tool for preparing for an official survey and subsequent steps in the design and construction process.
