Page: Topographic Surveys

A topographic survey locates all surface features of a property, and depicts all natural features and elevations. In essence it is a 3-dimensional map of a 3-dimensional property showing all natural and man-made features and improvements. Specifically, it shows their location, size, height and any changes in elevation.

When to request a Topographic Survey?

Topographic surveys, also known as contour surveys, may be required as part of real estate transactions, civil engineering design and construction projects, including:

New construction
Remodeling projects to existing structures
Utility design
Road or bridge design or improvements
Grading or drainage projects

Topographic surveys are required by many local government bodies to determine the existing conditions and elevations of a site. Together with a boundary survey, topographic surveys are used by architects and engineers to create accurate and appropriate designs based on existing conditions.
