Land surveying is a standard procedure before you
do anything to a property, as it provides information on property lines,
boundaries, easements, and other critical information that you will need to
make an informed decision. Certain types of surveys are designed specifically
for different kinds of properties. For commercial land, you will need to
consider an ALTA/ACSM survey, which adheres to the governmental and national
standards that were put together by the American Land Title Association and the
American Congress on Surveying and Mapping. ALTA/ACSM
survey standards form the backbone of consistent guidelines for obtaining
information on any commercial real estate.
The ALTA/ACSM survey is conducted for construction
purposes, and it provides more detailed information about your land or
property. It is an accredited survey that must be conducted only be a
knowledgeable and experienced team of land surveyors who know and understand
the uniform set of standard code that ensures the proper application of the
survey’s standards. ALTA land surveys are also referred to as ‘due diligence
surveys’, so they need to be as accurate as possible, while making sure that
the results meet all expectations in terms of quality and reliability, as they
will be used for commercial property.
The ALTA/ACSM survey standards are trusted when
there is a need to gain information on country zoning laws, the property’s
height requirement, and setback requirements. The survey provides information
on the easements and boundaries of the property and features that may determine
or affect ownership. You may have this survey commissioned if you need more
information about your property or land when there is a possibility of adverse
rights to it. Data may further show the easements, improvements, encumbrances,
boundaries, encroachments, and improvements on the land, too. All this information
will be helpful when you are deciding what to do with the property.
