Surveyors are often contracted to perform a construction survey to provide staking for new buildings, building sites, additions to buildings, road layout, utility staking, and more. These professionals play a critical role in the initial stages of construction, ensuring that all elements are accurately placed according to design specifications. The staking process involves marking the locations where various structures or utilities will be built, helping to guide the construction team in their work.

Typically, the surveyor is provided with a set of construction plans, which serve as a detailed blueprint for the project. These plans are crucial as they contain the necessary information for the office personnel to calculate the horizontal and vertical locations of the structures to be installed. The accuracy of these calculations is paramount, as any errors can lead to significant issues in the construction process, potentially resulting in costly delays or modifications.

Alta EI personnel conduct thorough research, examining recorded documents, maps, records of survey, final plats, and deeds. They also review adjacent property deeds to gather all necessary information. This research is followed by a physical survey of existing property corner evidence to accurately determine the property boundaries.

Once the fieldwork is completed, Alta EI prepares a detailed map showing property lines, dimensions, fences, and any encroachments. This map serves as a comprehensive record of the property's boundaries and any relevant features, ensuring clarity for legal, construction, and personal purposes.
