Surveying Services

Surveying has been an essential element in the development of the human environment since the beginning of recorded history (about 5,000 years ago). It is required in the planning and execution of nearly every form of construction. It is most familiar modern uses are in the fields of transport, building and construction, communications, mapping, and the definition of legal boundaries for land ownership.

Barron Land specializes in surveying land around Colorado. As a land surveyor in Colorado, whether it is a Boundary Survey, ILC'S, ALTA Surveys, Telecommunication, Environmental, Engineering Support, Land Development, or Construction, we can help.

Surveying or land surveying is the technique, profession, and science of accurately determining the terrestrial or three-dimensional position of points and the distances and angles between them. These points are usually on the surface of the Earth, and they are often used to establish land maps and boundaries for ownership or governmental purposes. To accomplish their objective, surveyors use elements of mathematics (geometry and trigonometry), physics, engineering, and law.

Boundary Surveying

Do you need a better definition of a property boundary or a clearer map of the area? A Boundary Survey determines ownership lines through extensive research and field reconnaissance. The two primary boundary surveys are LSP (Land Survey Plat) and ISP (Improvement Survey Plat).

LSP:
A land survey plat is normally requested when the owner or company just need to know where their boundary resides without needing much detail on the improvements on the property. These surveys normally show the boundary, monuments found to establish and confirm the boundary and fences along the property lines along with any other evidence used to show/support said boundary.

ISP:
An improvement survey plat is usually requested when the owner or company need to show more than just the boundary lines and fences along their property. ISPs will show everything an LSP shows, but also included a variety of improvements on the property also. These could include, but are not limited to: buildings, manholes, meters, concrete, curb and gutter, overhead utility lines, underground utility lines, easements, etc. These plats often include title information also to help ensure all the information needed is shown on the survey.

OTHERS:
Other surveys which could be requested are cadastral survey, right of way surveys, fence line surveying/staking, and other specialized surveys needing boundary.

ILC’s (Improvement location certificates)

An Improvement Location Certificate is typically requested during a residential/commercial real estate transaction. These surveys show a “record boundary” and the improvements in the area to give the banks and insurers a sense of where everything resides. These surveys are +/- surveys since the actual boundary is not determined, but are an affordable alternative to boundary surveys for parcels which have low risk of encroachments and other boundary issues.

*An ILC is not a boundary survey and should never be used for boundary determination.

ALTA / NSPS Land Title Survey

ALTA survey standards are a nationwide uniform set of standards developed by a joint effort of the American Land Title Association and the National Society of Professional Surveyors. The ALTA survey is specifically designed to satisfy the needs of lenders, corporations, and title companies when dealing with valuable commercial properties. The ALTA is a boundary survey along with any additional services the client requires, depending on the needs of the lender. This type of survey is usually requested for commercial and multi residential purchases.

Barron Land prides themselves on delivering their client a high-quality product, clearly showing all the information requested while being fully aware of the importance of the timeline and deadlines of these types of transactions.
