Site Development & Subdivision Surveying. Turn Your Property Plans Into a Buildable Project.
Developing property requires more than simply dividing land into lots. Accurate information about boundaries, existing conditions, elevations, access, and surrounding features is essential to making informed decisions during the planning and development process.
Independent Land Surveying works with property owners, developers, contractors, and other project professionals to provide Site Development & Subdivision Surveying services.
Whether you’re planning a new subdivision, developing a commercial property, dividing a larger parcel, or preparing a site for construction, accurate surveying information can help establish a reliable foundation for the project.
Site & Subdivision Services
Site & Subdivision Services
Accurate existing-property information can help establish the foundation for planning a new commercial, residential, or other development project.
Subdivision Planning
When larger properties are divided into multiple lots, accurate boundary and survey information is essential for establishing proposed lot configurations and development plans.
Lot Layout & Development
Survey information can help establish property lines, lot locations, access areas, and other features associated with planned development
Construction Layout
Surveying support during construction helps contractors and project teams locate improvements and other project features according to the approved plans.
Elevation & Site Information
Existing elevations and site conditions can provide important information for planning grading, drainage, access, building locations, and other development considerations.
Property & Boundary Research
Existing deeds, plats, surveys, easements, and other available records may be reviewed as part of the survey and development process
Planning Before Construction Begins
A successful development project starts with accurate information.
Before construction begins, property owners and development teams need to understand what exists on the property and how the proposed project will fit within the site’s physical and legal boundaries.
Surveying information can help identify:
- Property boundaries
- Existing improvements
- Lot dimensions
- Easements and rights-of-way
- Access points
- Existing site features
- Elevations
- Utilities and visible utility features
- Existing structures
- Roads and driveways
- Drainage features
- Proposed lot locations
- Construction control points
- Other conditions that may affect development
Having this information available early in the planning process can help reduce surprises and provide project professionals with a more accurate picture of the property.
From Property Evaluation to Construction
01 — Evaluate the Property
We begin by understanding the property, the proposed project, and the information needed to move forward
02 — Research Existing Information
Available deeds, plats, prior surveys, easements, and other relevant property information are reviewed as appropriate.
03 — Perform Field Surveying
Fieldwork is conducted to establish property information and document existing site conditions needed for the project.
04 — Develop Survey Information
Collected information is organized and prepared to support the proposed development, subdivision, or construction project.
05 — Coordinate With the Project Team
Survey information can be provided to the appropriate owners, developers, engineers, architects, contractors, and other professionals involved in the project.
06 — Support Construction
Where applicable, surveying services can continue into the construction phase to help establish locations and elevations needed for construction activities.
Building on Accurate Information
Whether you’re developing a residential subdivision or preparing a commercial property for construction, decisions made early in the process can have a significant impact on the project.
Accurate surveying information helps establish where the property begins and ends, what currently exists on the site, and how proposed improvements relate to the property.
For Property Owners
Understand the characteristics and development potential of your property before investing in construction.
For Developers
Obtain reliable property and site information to help guide subdivision and development planning.
For Contractors
