Topographic Surveys
A topographic survey shows the elevations, contours, and physical features of a property. Architects, engineers, and builders use topographic surveys to design homes, buildings, drainage improvements, driveways, retaining walls, and other site improvements.
The terrain of the Texas Hill Country can make accurate topographic information especially important. Searchers has extensive experience collecting and reporting topographic data for residential properties and custom home projects.
Form Surveys
A form survey verifies the location of building forms before concrete is placed. The survey typically compares the proposed structure to property boundaries, building setback lines, and easements.
Discovering a location problem before the foundation is poured can prevent significant construction delays and expenses. Searchers works with custom homebuilders and property owners to provide timely form surveys during the construction process.
Construction Staking
Construction staking provides contractors with the survey information necessary to locate proposed improvements on the ground. This may include staking homes, accessory structures, driveways, or other improvements shown on construction plans.
Searchers understands the importance of clear communication during construction. We prepare a staking exhibit that corresponds with the numbers on the stakes placed in the field so builders and contractors can clearly understand the layout.
