Map Your Commercial Property by An Advanced ALTA/ACSM Survey Method

When building or developing commercial property, you will need to consider hiring a land surveyor that is an expert in conducting the ALTA/ACSM survey method. ALTA/ACSM surveys are not your typical boundary survey. They have accredited land title surveys that follow a uniform set of standard code to be conducted for commercial purposes. Only by this survey you can accurately map your structure for construction purposes, but you need to make sure that you hire a surveyor that meets all the survey standards set by authorized institutions, such as the American Land Title Association, and the government.

The ALTA/ACSM survey method is conducted out of due diligence to find information on property easements and boundaries. It may provide information on features on the land that may determine or affect the property’s ownership, as well as data on the land that may need to be investigated in case it pertains to the possibility of adverse rights on the property. The survey can include suggestions for improvements on your commercial land, such as trails, fences, rights of ways, and roads. Moreover, it can reveal easements and further improvements, encumbrances, ownership areas, encroachments, boundaries, and other critical information that can affect or define land ownership.

Surveyors may use traditional and advanced tools, such as GPS and high-definition 3D surveying to conduct the ALTA/ACSM survey. The information they will find may be helpful to lenders and buyers, too, especially when there is a need to further evaluate the property for any risks, and to discover the benefits of owning it. The survey is also widely accepted by insurance companies as documentation proofs for security and claims.

An ALTA/ACSM survey may cost a bit more than traditional land surveys for contouring and mapping property, but its swiftness, accuracy, and dependability can save you a lot of time and money down the line. Of course, it makes sense to hire seasoned land surveyors who are qualified to conduct this type of survey, so you can avoid costly mistakes and delays in your project.
