Architectural Surveys

* This is to give an architect the information he needs to design an addition. Architects are artists, and as such their desires are hard to track. We solve this with a two-prong approach.
The first prong is to show everything required by technicians:
We show:

Tree Locations in yard - trunk and umbrella diameters.
Canvass awnings, patio stones, Roof lines.
Doors and which way they open,

Benchmark and elevation's.
Road, lot corners, floors, middle of lot

Water meter, power poles, power lines, power service boxes,

Wells, septic tanks and drain fields.

We locate all hard surfaces. Walks, drains, etc.

Lot area, house (footprint) area,

The second prong is to show everything required by the artist:
To do this, we invite the client to review the survey during the first month, before any time or effort is wasted on a survey that does not address the client's artistic or particular needs. That is, we request that the client or his representative, for instance the architect, walk around the property with the survey in hand, and check it out.
Architecture is art, and artists have peculiar concerns.
We will be happy to address those concerns.
