What we can help you with
This is what most people mean when they say they need "a survey." We research the deed, find the original monuments or evidence of where they were, and set new iron pipes at your corners if needed. You'll know exactly where your property lines are.
In Wisconsin, you can't just draw a line and sell half your lot. If you want to split property into 4 or fewer parcels, you'll need a CSM—a recorded document that shows the new lot lines, dimensions, and easements. We handle the survey work, draft the map, and shepherd it through county and municipal approval.
Commercial real estate deals usually require one of these. An ALTA survey shows boundaries, improvements, easements, encroachments—everything a lender or title company needs to assess risk.
Builders call us when they need the house, garage, driveway, or septic field laid out on the ground. We take the site plan and translate it into wooden stakes and offsets that the excavator can follow. If your permit requires setback verification, we handle that too.
If you're designing a building, road, or drainage system, you need to know what the ground is doing. We collect elevation data on a grid or along specific features, then deliver a contour map your engineer or architect can work with. We can export to most CAD formats.
Properties near rivers or low-lying areas sometimes fall in a mapped flood zone. If you're buying flood insurance—or trying to prove you don't need it—you'll need an elevation certificate. We measure the relevant elevations and fill out the FEMA form.
Dividing land into five or more lots? That's a subdivision, and it requires a formal plat rather than a CSM. The process involves more municipal review and usually public hearings. We've worked through platting in several Western Wisconsin communities and can help you navigate the requirements.
Sometimes you just need the words, not a full survey. If you're drafting an easement, updating a deed, or describing a parcel for a contract, we can write or review the legal description. We'll make sure it closes mathematically and matches what's actually on the ground.
Call and describe your situation. We'll tell you which survey fits—or if you need one at all.
