Admin Subdivisions
A type of land division that allows the owner to split a parcel of land into smaller lots, or combine two parcels of land into one lot, without going through the full public hearing process required for a standard subdivision. This process is usually less complex and is intended for straightforward divisions of land that meet specific local criteria, such as zoning requirements, size restrictions, and frontage on existing roads. It's a streamlined approach to land division that simplifies the process for property owners who want to divide or combine their land for purposes like sale or development while ensuring that the division conforms to local planning and zoning regulations.
ALTA's
A comprehensive land survey that adheres to the strict standards developed by the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS). This type of survey is typically required for real estate transactions, especially in commercial properties. It provides a detailed map of the property, showing all existing improvements, easements, rights-of-way, and other elements impacting the ownership. ALTA surveys are crucial for identifying potential issues with land boundaries and property rights, ensuring legal clarity and precision in real estate transactions. They are more detailed than standard surveys, often including features like fences, trails, utilities, and even minor discrepancies in boundary lines, making them an essential tool for thorough due diligence in property acquisition and development.
Asbuilt's
A specialized type of survey conducted after the completion of a construction project. It documents the final location and dimensions of all elements of the project, including buildings and pavement, while also occasionally including utilities and landscaping. The primary purpose of this survey is to verify that the construction has been completed according to the approved design plans and specifications. As-Built Surveys are critical for ensuring compliance with local building codes and regulations in Omaha. They provide a precise, real-world representation of the built environment, which is essential for future property development, renovation, or maintenance. This survey is also important for updating property records and can be used as a reference in any future modifications or disputes related to the property.
Lot Surveys
Lot Surveys are conducted to determine the exact boundaries of a property and any encroachments or easements. They are essential for property owners to understand their property's limits and resolve boundary disputes. These surveys may also be required during property transactions to ensure that the land's legal description matches its physical boundaries, preventing future legal complications.
Plats and Re-plats
Plats and Re-plats are detailed maps showing the layout of land subdivisions, including lots, streets, and easements. They are needed for land development and zoning purposes, ensuring compliance with local regulations. Plats can be updated with re-plats when changes are made to land divisions, making them crucial for land developers seeking to subdivide or consolidate parcels of land.
Topographic Surveys
Topographic Surveys map the natural and man-made features of a site, like elevation changes and structures. These surveys are crucial for architects, engineers, and planners in designing infrastructure and development projects. They help in identifying potential drainage issues, selecting suitable building locations, and optimizing the site layout for efficient land use and construction.
Plot Plans
Plot Plans are specific site plans that show the arrangement of structures, parking areas, and other features on a property. They are required for obtaining construction permits and ensuring compliance with zoning laws. Plot plans also aid in visualizing how a structure fits within its surroundings, making them valuable for homeowners planning renovations or additions to their homes.
House Staking
House Staking involves marking the precise location of a new house on a lot according to approved plans. It ensures that construction aligns with the design and zoning requirements. House staking helps builders avoid costly mistakes during construction and ensures that the house is positioned correctly on the lot to meet safety and regulatory standards.
Construction Staking
Construction Staking is the process of marking the position of proposed structures and infrastructure on a construction site. It's necessary for contractors and builders to execute construction accurately based on approved plans and designs. Construction staking assists in achieving the desired alignment, dimensions, and elevations, contributing to the successful completion of construction projects within specified parameters.
