Our Commercial Surveying Services
ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey
The ALTA survey is the gold standard for commercial real estate transactions. Required by most lenders and title underwriters on commercial acquisitions, an ALTA survey Portland buyers and sellers rely on goes well beyond a standard boundary survey. It documents boundary lines, easements, encroachments, rights-of-way, utilities, improvements, zoning setbacks, and flood zone classification — all in a single, standardized deliverable that satisfies national title insurance requirements.
According to the American Land Title Association, ALTA surveys are required on the majority of commercial real estate transactions above $1 million because standard boundary surveys do not meet the due diligence threshold lenders and underwriters require. If you're searching for an ALTA survey Portland commercial clients trust, our team delivers fully compliant surveys with the table items your transaction requires.
Commercial Property Survey
A commercial property survey establishes the legal boundaries of your parcel, documents existing improvements, and identifies any encroachments or easements that affect the property. A commercial property survey Portland investors order through our firm gives you the verified site data needed to make acquisition decisions, negotiate purchase agreements, or begin the entitlement process.
Topographic Survey
A topographic survey Portland developers require maps the existing elevations, contours, and physical features of a site. Combined with an elevation survey, this data feeds directly into civil engineering, grading plans, and stormwater design. Skipping this step early almost always creates costly surprises during construction.
Construction Survey
A construction survey Portland contractors and project owners rely on provides the precise layout control needed to translate engineered plans into physical structures. From setting control points and grade stakes to verifying as-built conditions, our construction survey services keep commercial projects on line, on grade, and on schedule.
Boundary Survey & Property Line Survey
Even on commercial parcels, a clean boundary survey or property line survey Portland clients need is sometimes the right tool — particularly for lease area delineation, fence disputes, or parcels being brought into a larger development.
Our licensed land surveyor Portland team determines exactly where your lines fall and documents them in a format your attorney or title officer can use.
What Does a Commercial Survey Cost?
Commercial land survey cost is driven by parcel size, survey type, number of easements and deed calls to research, and turnaround requirements. According to the Urban Land Institute, survey and due diligence costs typically represent less than 1% of total transaction value on commercial acquisitions — making a professional commercial property survey one of the highest-ROI line items in any deal budget.
