Site Planning and Subdivision Consulting
Site Plan Survey
A site plan survey combines a boundary survey with a topographic survey into a single base map. Together they establish where the property lines fall and how the ground moves across the parcel — the two facts every subsequent design decision depends on.
That combined map becomes the working base sheet for designing improvements or new development, and the record used to obtain government building permits.
What it establishes
Recorded boundary lines and corner monumentation, paired with existing grade, drainage patterns, and site features — surveyed and drafted to the accuracy a designer and a permitting reviewer both need.
Field, plat, and permit-ready mapping
The subdivision of a tract of land into smaller parcels — a map showing monumentation and mathematical survey data, drawn to conform with local municipal, usually county, ordinances.
- Lot Line Change
- Partitioning Maps
- Yield Maps
- Condominium Maps
The subdivision process confirms that a project sits on a legally subdivided lot — one with proper space for its intended development, and the utility easements and roadways that development requires.
Site & Layout Considerations
The shape of the site, lot and tract size, circulation, street layout, drainage, grading, and floodplain concerns are all weighed as part of the subdivision design.
Environmental Review
Locates constructed foundations and improvements against the plan, generally for mortgage purposes. Doesn't always include boundary monumentation.
Utility Planning
Subdivisions plan for the extension of transmission lines and the distribution of water and wastewater — whether by public line or on-site service.
Municipal Conformance
Every plat is drawn to conform with the ordinances of the local municipality — typically the county — that will review and record it.
