Our Services
Which surveys are necessary after a disaster?
After a wildfire, a professional land survey is essential to avoid boundary disputes, costly mistakes, and compliance issues during rebuilding. Recovery efforts often destroy survey markers, leading to confusion and even encroachments when rebuilding happens without clear property lines. Hiring a licensed surveyor like M&M&Co. ensures accuracy and peace of mind so you can rebuild confidently.
01
Architectural Surveys
In order to begin rebuilding, an architectural survey will be your very first step to crafting a new home. These surveys provide precise measurements of your property, including boundaries, topography, and existing features. This data ensures compliance with zoning regulations and helps architects and builders create accurate plans tailored to the site.
02
Boundary Surveys
A boundary survey identifies and reestablishes property lines by locating or resetting markers that define the edges of a property. After a fire, fences, hedges, and other boundary indicators may be destroyed, and heavy machinery can disturb or remove survey monuments. Conducting a boundary survey ensures property owners have clear, legally accurate boundaries to avoid disputes or encroachments during rebuilding.
03
Topography Surveys
Topographic surveys map the contours and features of the land, including elevation changes, natural landmarks, and any damage to the terrain. Wildfires can significantly alter the landscape, causing soil erosion, debris deposits, or unstable ground conditions. A topographic survey provides critical data for safe site planning and rebuilding, ensuring structures are designed to adapt to the changed terrain.
04
ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys
An ALTA/NSPS land title survey offers a detailed report of property boundaries, improvements, easements, and other critical features for property transactions or financing. After a fire, lenders or buyers may require this survey to confirm the property’s condition and boundaries before committing to investments.
05
Construction Surveys
Construction surveys guide the placement and alignment of new structures within the property boundaries. Post-fire, these surveys are essential to ensure that new construction is placed accurately on the plot of land. By providing precise measurements, construction surveys help avoid costly errors and delays during the rebuilding process.
