Precision you
can build on.

If your property sits in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (Zone A, AE or V), your lender or insurer will usually require an Elevation Certificate to rate your flood policy. Our staff includes Certified Floodplain Managers who prepare Elevation Certificates, flood zone determinations, and LOMA and LOMR filings.

A boundary survey locates the corners and lines of your parcel. An ALTA survey is a more detailed survey performed to American Land Title Association standards, typically required in commercial real estate transactions, and shows easements, encroachments and title matters on the face of the survey.

We are licensed in both Louisiana and Mississippi. Most of our work is in St. Tammany Parish and the surrounding region: Mandeville, Covington, Madisonville, Abita Springs, Slidell, the New Orleans metro, Tangipahoa and Washington parishes, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Often, yes. A boundary survey with thorough land records research establishes where the true line lies based on the chain of deeds and existing monuments, which resolves most disputes without further escalation.

It depends on the parcel: size, terrain, vegetation, and how much records research is involved. Call (985) 624-5368 or email [email protected] and we will give you a clear scope and price before any work begins.

Most parcels are monumented with iron rods or pipes at the corners, often buried just below grade. A metal detector may help you locate one, but only a licensed land surveyor can verify that a found monument is actually your corner, or set a new one if it is missing. We locate, flag and certify property corners as part of every boundary survey.

A LOMA (Letter of Map Amendment) is a FEMA determination that removes a structure or lot from the mapped Special Flood Hazard Area when an elevation survey shows it sits at or above the base flood elevation. A successful LOMA can reduce or remove the mandatory flood insurance requirement. We prepare the elevation certificate and handle the FEMA filing.

Lenders and title companies usually require one, and for good reason: a boundary survey confirms exactly what you are buying and reveals encroachments, servitudes (easements) and discrepancies before you close, when they are still the seller's problem.

Construction staking translates engineering and site plans onto the ground: stakes and offsets that show crews precisely where to build and at what grade, from building corners and foundations to roads, drainage and utilities. We stake everything from single residences to full subdivisions.

It varies with parcel size, terrain and how much courthouse records research the job needs. Simple residential boundary work usually moves quickly; larger or older tracts take longer to research. When we scope your job we commit to a real date, backed by field crews that have completed more than 12,000 surveys since 1992.
