As-built surveys, also known as Mortgage Location Surveys, are performed to locate improvements on a parcel of land and are usually done to satisfy a lender that the buildings and improvements are located on the land covered by the legal description in the mortgage. In completing As-builts, Resolute Land Surveying adheres to the Alaska Society of Professional Land Surveyors (ASPLS) Minimum Standards for Mortgage Location Surveys in the State of Alaska. Owen has a strong background in as-builts. At his first job as a land surveyor with Cottini Land Surveying, he completed numerous as-builts in various conditions. This well-respected residential surveying company was based in Palmer, AK. The cost and complexity of an as-built survey are governed by the parcel type, the subdivision age, and the number of buildings and improvements on the land. For those initiating new projects or in need of support with ongoing endeavors, our expertise in as-built surveys ensures tailored solutions

Design surveys and site plans play a crucial role in engineering and construction planning by mapping out parcels of land. Resolute Land Surveying boasts a robust background in design surveys. Owen has five years of experience at Municipal Light and Power (ML&P) and Chugach Electric Association (CEA), where he completed numerous surveys and construction staking for electrical utility projects. Site plans, a simplified version of design surveys, aid contractors and home builders in positioning their structures on a lot. They define easements, setbacks, rights of way, and water bodies. Whether you’re initiating a design survey in Alaska or require assistance with an ongoing site plan project, our expertise ensures accurate and reliable results.

Boundary surveys, also known as lot surveys, are essential for clearly defining property boundaries. They provide confidence and assurance for any development or improvement project. These surveys precisely delineate property lines and are invaluable for homeowners planning to erect a fence or builders beginning a new construction project. Professional land surveyors create detailed drawings with important information, such as lot dimensions, sourced from deeds, subdivision plats, and survey drawings. The survey may also include any improvements made by previous owners, such as houses, sheds, and garages. Easements can be incorporated into the drawing if they are shown on the recorded plat or if a title commitment is obtained, ensuring a comprehensive overview of the property’s boundaries and constraints. Our expertise in boundary surveys in Alaska, ensures accurate and reliable results whether you’re starting a project or seeking guidance on an existing one.

Subdivision surveys involve dividing a larger parcel of land into smaller parcels, and this process requires approval from the local borough or the State of Alaska if the land is outside borough boundaries. The survey projects typically take 6 months to 1 year to complete, and the specific steps involved depend on the location, size of the original parcel, and the complexity of the plan. Owen has successfully completed numerous survey projects by working with the Mat Su Borough and the State of Alaska Department of Natural Resources (DNR). For those embarking on subdivision projects or seeking guidance on the division of land, our expertise ensures accurate and reliable results.

Lot Line Eliminations, similar to subdivision surveys, require a platting action and are carried out to merge two or more parcels into a single lot. This process involves meeting various requirements, but generally, it can be completed within a shorter timeframe than subdivisions. Lot Line Eliminations are a practical solution for streamlining the land development and utilization process. The approach offers an efficient way to reconfigure property boundaries and can be particularly helpful for property owners seeking to combine parcels of land for development or other purposes. Let us help you streamline your property development with Lot Line Elimination Services in Alaska.
