Start With Your Project

Buying, Selling or Refinancing

Tell us what your title company, lender or attorney has requested and the date you're working toward. The requested document and intended recipient help define the work. A residential closing request can involve different requirements from a commercial ALTA/NSPS order.

Our title survey service addresses transaction-related needs. For a commercial request that specifies ALTA/NSPS, go directly to ALTA surveys and include the title and lender requirements with your inquiry.

A Fence, Pool or Addition

A project near a property line starts with understanding the boundary and what your contractor or reviewing authority needs. A drawing and physical marks in the ground serve different purposes, so explain how you plan to use the survey.

Ask about a boundary survey for property-line determination and documentation. If your contractor needs corners marked, include property corner staking in the conversation before the work is quoted.

Design or Construction

Architects, expediters, landscape designers and site contractors need survey information suited to the decisions they are making. Send the requested coverage, project plans and deliverable requirements so the survey can be discussed in that context.

Topographic surveys address site elevations, contours and features for design. As-built surveys document completed work. For construction layout or another project stage, describe the requested work in your quote inquiry.

Title Surveys

A title survey supports a property transaction by providing the survey information requested for the closing file. Buyers can send the request they received, while title companies and attorneys can provide their file references, documents and intended recipients directly.

Review title survey ordering for the information to gather. If a document calls the work a mortgage survey, share that wording and its requirements so our office can confirm the scope.

Boundary Surveys

Boundary work addresses the location of a property's lines. It is relevant to homeowners planning improvements and to people trying to understand how existing features relate to the property. Explain the question you need the survey to answer, including any concern about a neighboring fence or structure.

The boundary survey page explains the difference between documenting a boundary and requesting physical corner marks.

Property Corner Staking

Corner staking provides physical reference points for the corners included in the agreed work. An existing survey can be useful information, but the office needs to review the property and requested marking before confirming what is involved.

If you need more than the corners marked, tell us which part of the line your contractor needs to identify. Discuss property corner staking before setting a fence-installation date that depends on it.

Topographic Surveys

A topographic survey describes elevations, contours and site features within the agreed scope. Your design professional's requirements determine the information to discuss, including the survey limits and the form in which the work will be used.

Start with topographic survey requirements if you're preparing for site design, grading or a landscape project. Share the designer's request even if you are still deciding how the project will proceed.

ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys

Commercial transactions can call for an ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey, with the title documents, certification requirements and agreed optional scope coordinated for the order. The transaction team should identify what it needs before the survey is commissioned.

Our ALTA survey service is written for title, lender and commercial-property professionals preparing that request. An ordinary title survey should not be assumed to satisfy a request for ALTA/NSPS work.

Other Property and Project Requests

Elevation and Certificate Questions

"Elevation survey" can describe different needs. A designer may need ground elevations and contours, while a request connected to floodplain requirements or insurance may identify a FEMA Elevation Certificate. Send the actual wording from the person who asked for it.

Use our elevation survey guide to discuss the distinction, or see FEMA Elevation Certificates if that is the document requested. The certificate's use and any insurance effect depend on the property and applicable requirements.

Completed Work and Department Requests

If work has already been built, provide the plans and the request for final survey documentation. Our as-built survey service addresses that stage. Explain which completed improvements need to be shown and who will review the result.

For a septic, water or related department request, send the written requirements and property information. Health department survey work needs to be discussed for the particular property and jurisdiction.

Proposed Lot Divisions

A proposed subdivision or lot split involves both survey work and decisions by the applicable authorities. The survey request should identify the existing parcel, the proposed division and any instructions already received from your planning or design team.

Read about subdivision and lot split surveys to prepare that discussion. Survey work supports the application process; the reviewing authority decides the application.

Your project's requirements

Every survey is quoted for the individual property and scope of work.

Property, Purpose and Requirements

A land survey quote begins with the address and the reason you need the work. If the property has no street address, provide its parcel identifier or other location information. Tell us whether you need a drawing, physical marks, an agreed design deliverable or a specifically named certificate.

Include the requirements from whoever will use the survey. A contractor's request, a title-company email or a designer's scope can clarify the intended outcome more effectively than choosing a service name alone. You can select "Unsure" on the request form if that is where you are starting. Include who will use the completed survey.

Existing Information and Site Access

Let the office know about surveys, deeds, plans or other records you already hold. Their usefulness depends on the current property and proposed work. Acceptance of an older survey also depends on the person or organization requesting it, so confirm what they need before relying on an existing document.

Mention access restrictions, occupied buildings, active construction or other conditions that could affect arrangements. You can begin the conversation before gathering every document; the office can discuss what else is needed.

Your Required Date

Explain what depends on the survey, such as a closing, design decision or scheduled installation. Timing is discussed for the specific property and scope, and can be affected by the information available, site conditions and requirements that need clarification.

Keep the Conversation Connected

Speak With the Office

Call (631) 256-3019 if you would rather talk through the request. We strive to keep the conversation clear about the property, the intended use and what happens next. Tell us who else is involved so questions can reach the appropriate project contact.

Follow an Order Underway

At project commencement, you'll receive an emailed order-tracking link showing where the job stands and which department is working on the file. Keep it with your project information, and contact the office if an update needs explanation or your requirements change.

For questions about an existing order, our contact page provides the office phone and email. Include the property address and order reference if you have one.

Questions Before You Order

Which Survey Should I Choose?

Start with the purpose and the request you received. You can tell us about the project without deciding the technical name of the survey first.

Does Every Survey Include Corner Stakes?

Physical marking needs to be included in the agreed scope. If you need corners or a particular line marked for a contractor, say so when requesting the quote.

Will the Survey Approve My Project?

The survey supplies information for the intended use. Permit decisions, title acceptance and project approval belong to the relevant reviewing parties, whose requirements should be identified before the work is arranged.

Where Can I Read About Hiring a Surveyor?

New York's land surveying consumer guidance explains professional services and questions to discuss. You can also review the state's professional land surveying resources.
