A boundary survey is a process carried out to determine property lines and define true property corners of a parcel of land described in a deed. It also indicates the extent of any easements or encroachments and may show the limitations imposed on the property by state or local regulations.
ELEVATION CERT.
FEMA has developed a standardized Elevation Certificate form that is used to gather elevation data for the purpose of accurately assessing flood risks to structures located in Flood Hazard Zones
Construction Surveys
Construction surveying or building surveying is to stake out reference points and markers that will guide the construction of new structures such as roads or buildings. Many times architects or engineers will design and hire a surveyor to place the design in the field.
TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY
A Topographic Survey is a survey that gathers data about the elevation of points on a piece of land and presents them as contour lines on a plot. The purpose of a topographic survey is to collect survey data about the natural and man-made features of the land, as well as its elevations.
Loan/Foundation Surveys
A Loan Survey is often required when you purchase a home. This is how the lender will verify that the property they're lending you money to purchase is located within the bounds of the property. Lenders often require surveys be completed throughout the construction process and upon completion.

Subdivision Survey (commonly referred to as subdivision platting) is the process of splitting a tract of land into smaller parcels. This shows monumentation and survey data on a map in conformance with local subdivision ordinance.
