LandTech Surveying & Planning

LandTech offers boundary surveying services for all types of property, including urban and suburban lot surveys, farmland, and mountain land. We will locate all of your existing property corners, set new markers for any missing, lost or destroyed corners, and provide you with a detailed plat of your property. Upon request, we will provide a written legal description of your property, often with no additional fee.

Whether you are adjusting or changing an existing lot line, dividing one parcel into two, combining two lots, or are developing a tract into a multi-lot subdivision, LandTech can help you through the planning, design and approval process. Our subdivision planning services include boundary location of the parcel, lot size and location planning, addressing zoning concerns, plat preparation, monumentation of lot corners and guiding you through the approval process in Knoxville and other localities.

Prior to planning any development project, it is important to determine the “lay of the land.” LandTech can provide you with a topographic survey which will determine the contours, elevations, and all significant natural and man-made surface features of the property. Once the fieldwork is complete, we will present the results of the survey to you as a topographic map of the property in digital and/or hardcopy form.

LandTech can determine if your property lies in a FEMA flood zone, and if so, whether any buildings on your property are below the flood level. Once we make this determination, we can provide you with a completed Elevation Certificate certifying the elevation of your house or commercial structure, which can be used to determine whether you need flood insurance for your property.

The purchase of real estate is usually is financed through a loan, and the lender and/or buyer may require a mortgage survey.  LandTech provides the same level of service for a mortgage survey as it does for a boundary survey, with special attention paid to observing the requirements and deadlines needed to help the loan closing process proceed smoothly. By having LandTech perform your mortgage survey, you can be assured that LandTech will work to meet your specific deadline while still delivering the attention to detail found in all of our work.

If you are building a house or other structure on your property, installing a fence, logging your property, or just want to know the limits of your land, LandTech can show you. We can set stakes on the line or lines in question at regular intervals, or in the case of rural or mountain land, flag and mark trees on or near the property lines. Once complete, we will meet with you to show and explain the property line markings we place.

LandTech provides construction staking services to contractors, landowners, engineers, architects and developers. Regardless of the size of your construction project, whether it is a backyard pool, a house, commercial building, road, or a large scale grading project, we have the knowledge and equipment to meet your needs.

ALTA surveys are done to the exacting standards of the American Land Title Association, and are typically requested in connection with transactions involving highly valuable commercial property. Like mortgage surveys, ALTA surveys are usually requested in situations with strict deadlines. LandTech understands the need for fast, accurate ALTA surveys, and we are here to provide them to you.

Access to property is just as important as the property boundaries. LandTech can locate and plat new or existing access easements to private property which lacks direct access to a public street or road. We also survey rights-of-way for public roads such as county roads, city streets and state highways, as well as utility easements and rights-of-way.

Geodetic control surveys are performed with a high-level of precision, and the monuments and benchmarks established through such surveys are used for further precise measurement of mapping and engineering projects. LandTech can provide this service to our clients through the use of various methods and equipment to provide our clients with including differential leveling, total stations, real-time kinematic (RTK), static, and fast static differential GPS.

Boundary line issues can often be contentious, and sometimes lead to boundary disputes which must be decided in court. A LandTech survey always represents the professional opinion of a registered land surveyor. When called upon to survey property lines in dispute, we are ready to consult with you and your attorney and, if necessary, to serve as an expert witness on surveying matters in deposition and at trial.
