Survey & Mapping

Fagan Engineers & Land Surveyors, P.C. (FE) is skilled and licensed in all areas of Survey Services used in mapping and analysis of various land-based projects for residential and commercial sites. FE Surveyors add significant value to a project during design, pre-construction, construction, and operation by utilizing state-of-the-art equipment with the ability to operate up to five crews simultaneously. Survey & Mapping Services are comprised of highly detailed American Land Title Association (ALTA)/National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS) Land Title surveys, topographic/existing conditions surveys, flood certificates/amendments, utility mapping, construction stakeout, and record (as-built) drawings.

FE property surveys range from traditional boundary surveys in accordance with State regulations to standards specified by ALTA, and the NSPS. Our comprehensive approach for both traditional and ALTA/NSPS Land Title surveys starts with a review of the title documents including deed and records research that is followed by a detailed, on-site survey of all the features of the parcel. The end product is a comprehensive survey that depicts the boundaries and the location of all improvements on the parcel including any and all structures, utility infrastructure, roads/pavement, fences, etc., along with the location of any/all easements. All of these items may impact and affect land ownership.

The improvement of any property requires an existing conditions or topographic survey. The purpose of an existing conditions survey is to collect survey data for the natural and man-made features of the land, as well as its elevations. FE establishes survey control using GPS static observations post processed to NAD 83 State Plane Coordinates, RTK GPS Survey to develop high grade topographic mapping for design purposes. Utilizing this established control system, FE’s Design Team will develop comprehensive project drawings. Subsequent survey services associated with our infrastructure or land development projects include: right-of-way stakeout, construction stakeout and record information acquisition for record drawings as well as for future development design needs.

Another key element of FE’s survey services is the development of Elevation Certificates or Letter of Map Amendments under FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). An Electronic Letter of Map Amendment (eLOMA) allows FE to have your structure and/or entire property removed from the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) when applicable. Flood elevation certificate may also lower your flood insurance premiums by demonstrating that your structure is above the Base Flood Elevation (BFE).
