Comprehensive Builder Services by GA Land Surveyor for Reliable Construction
Box Checks
In our comprehensive builder services, verifying the location of footer boxes is crucial before pouring concrete. House corner stakes and other measuring tools can be easily disturbed during excavation/grading. Without correction, these errors can lead to improper concrete placement, resulting in major structural problems. Our box check service ensures early detection, preventing serious damages.
Construction Staking
Construction staking is used to mark where proposed features are to be built. The locations of these features are taken directly from the construction plans. This is done to ensure that all proposed features are accounted for and that their locations lay in accord with the construction plans.
Demolition Plans
Demolition plans indicate which structures are to be removed during a demolition, as well as note other control measures. Demolition plans must be made before the site plan is completed in order to obtain a permit to demolish any structures on a property to make way for new construction.
As-Built Surveys
As-built surveys are done once the construction project is completed. This allows the property owner to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy. An as-built survey will show all new improvements on the property. It will also verify that the location and elevation of completed works are in line with the governing jurisdiction and the approved plan.
Foundation Surveys
Grading Plans
Grading plans are designed to control surface runoff, minimize soil erosion, and sedimentation during and after construction. Not only does it provide lots with more suitable topography, it also demarcates areas that cannot be disturbed by grading or filling. It will also outline the measures that builders must follow so that they do not damage these areas.
House Corner Staking
We can stake out major building corners and turns in the foundation to ensure that the structures are correctly positioned on the property. Because stakes have the potential of being disturbed during the grading process, offset stakes can also be set as a precaution.
Site Plan Surveys
A site plan survey is done when a homeowner is looking to obtain a building permit for either a small addition or an entire house. The site plan will show existing structures as well as the proposed improvements, grading, topography, tree locations and fencing, and lot coverage calculations. These plans are required to be in conformity with the governing jurisdiction, but we’ll do everything we can to create a plan that fulfills your building wishes.
