Residential title surveys meet title company requirements to close real estate transactions.
PLATTING SERVICES
A Plat is a map of a piece of land identifying the location and boundaries of street rights-of-way, individual lots or parcels, and other site information. The plat shows features such as lot lines, utility easements, setback lines, land dedicated for public use (e.g. streets and parks), ownership, and metes and bounds (boundary dimensions). Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 212, contains the state law governing the approval of plats.

CATEGORY 1A LAND TITLES
A Category 1A Land Title Survey locates all important factors affecting boundary locations, ownership lines, rights of way, and easements within or adjacent to a tract of land. This survey is required whenever a property transaction requires a title policy.
BOUNDARY SURVEYS
A Boundary Survey certifies the boundary lines of a property without improvements shown.
CONSTRUCTION SURVEYS
Construction Staking consists of site layout based on interpretation of construction plans. Specific reference points are marked to show the location of building corners, driveways, drainage structures, light poles, utilities and other improvements.
ELEVATION CERTIFICATE
Elevation certificates are forms issued by FEMA for clients to use to obtain flood insurance, builders to use to obtain building permits, builder to use to satisfy city officials for interim slab and final elevations.

UTILITY SURVEYS
Utility Surveys are a survey or map undertaken to reflect the location, size, depth, or condition of subsurface utility lines.
