Services Offered by Laurila Surveying

• Boundary Surveys: These surveys establish the deed dimensions on the ground, marking or resetting each corner of the property. Fences, encroachments, and monuments are noted, with all corners verified or reset with permanent steel markers.

• Subdivision Plats: A subdivision plat is a boundary survey that reflects areas, easements, and dedicated rights of way, if any. These plats comply with planning commissions, zoning, and other government entities.

• Topographic Surveys: These surveys locate natural ground features and elevations, including utilities, manholes, catch basins, fences, buildings, and trees. Often performed on future building sites, topographic surveys require thorough research of adjoining deeds and surveys.

• Construction Layout: This type of layout involves accurately marking the positions and elevations of various elements of a construction project on the ground. This critical step ensures that the project is built according to the approved design plans and within the property boundaries. We will locate and stake out reference points, such as building corners, column lines, and utility alignments, to guide the construction team. With a focus on precision and attention to detail, our construction layout services help minimize errors, reduce costly rework, and facilitate a smoother construction process.

• FEMA Elevation Certificates: Laurila Surveying also provides elevation certificates for flood insurance purposes.


Determining the Cost of a Survey

The cost of a survey is influenced by various factors, such as the extent of research needed, fieldwork complexity, office calculations, and potential repeat visits to locate missing pins. Other factors, such as terrain, weather conditions, tree canopies, and the age of the original survey, also contribute to the overall cost. While it is often possible to provide a rough estimate, some situations may require a site visit to determine an accurate price.
