A topographic survey is routinely required before undertaking any significant construction/development on a property. It identifies the locations and elevations of the existing features (e.g., trees, buildings, streets, walkways, manholes, utility poles, retaining walls, etc.) for the property. Calland Engineering has many years of experience in conducting these surveys with remarkably accurate results.

An American Land Title Association (ALTA) survey is one of the most useful land surveying services Calland Engineering provides. Calland Engineering's licensed surveyors combine topographic and boundary information into a detailed map. Our in-depth ALTA surveys give both clients and interested parties a detailed snapshot of their rights and interests in a property to empower them to make the right strategic development decisions.

Boundary survey plays a crucial role in identifying a property's legal boundary. With many years of proven experience, Calland Engineering has the expertise to conduct boundary surveys thoroughly and accurately to ensure you are protected in any home or land purchase. We identify and map the perimeter boundaries of parcels of real property, which may require setting permanent or semi-permanent "monuments" to mark the corners of the property.

When building improvements upon any property (such as a new structure or add-on), the builder or the local authorities may require one or more as-built surveys to ensure that the construction is proceeding according to the plan. Calland Engineering can perform these surveys with a high level of accuracy to satisfy the requirements of local or state regulations and to help the contractor measure the progress of improvements.

Before construction begins on any projects, it is essential to perform accurate construction staking in order to prevent costly errors during the building process. Calland Engineering is highly experienced in providing reliable construction staking services to ensure that your building project proceeds according to plan.

Corner staking is a service provided by land surveyors that involves setting physical survey monuments or markers at property/building corners with additional markers along the property lines. Calland Engineering helps many land and property owners with staking property lines as it helps settle disputes between adjoining land owners, propose land improvements near the boundary, or clarify where the property line really lies.

The official description of the property on your deed is highly important to protect your legal right to the land in the event it is ever challenged. Calland Engineering is highly experienced in writing detailed and accurate deed and property legal descriptions designed to protect your interests.

A Record of Survey is a procedure showing the establishment of property boundaries based upon an evaluation of field and record evidence. A Record of Survey is required to be submitted to the County for review and recordation purpose. Calland Engineering has many years of experience on conducting fieldwork that requires careful evaluation of existing monuments/lines of occupation and measuring between these points to create a record of survey for the subject property.

A Corner Record is filed whenever a land surveyor places or replaces a property marker or any other marker as provided for under the Professional Land Surveyors Act. Calland Engineering files the Corner Record with the county as it is used to document the placement of a survey monument when the marker already appeared on a previously filed Corner Record or on a recorded Record of Survey.

A lot line adjustment / lot merger is the process that is used to change property lines of existing parcels of land. The process can be used to do a number of things, such as: combine up to four adjacent parcels into one parcel (a lot merger), alter the boundary between up to four parcels or reconfigure the shapes of up to four parcels (lot line adjustments).
