  • Purpose of a topographic survey is to determine the grade, or the “highs and lows”, on a piece of property.
  • Assists in understanding the flow of water and drainage on a property.
  • Used to assist in establishing proper grading for construction sites.

A Topographic Survey will include the following services:

 

  • Grade shots are taken at intervals for which both horizontal and vertical data is acquired.
  • Data is then interpreted to create contour lines which show the “highs and lows” on a piece of property.
  • Property boundaries are not necessarily established, but common items such as streets, large trees or structures are noted as points of reference on the drawing.

Topographic Survey Cost:

Cost varies on scope of project.

Survey cost is based on:
