Our survey process is quite simple to get started. Our customers are given verbal information about time frame and cost according to the specific project. If these terms are agreed upon, a contract is created and executed by both parties. The client will be asked to sign the contract, give a half down deposit, and provide us with a deed or tax notice and plat if available. Then, we go to work!

An ALTA survey is a survey which provides all involved more data regarding the parcel of land.  On the request of the client, they fill out a document referred to as Table A.  These items are selected items such as: Vicinity maps, utilities, adjoining land owners, flood plain issues, etc.  These surveys are requested when properties change hands and when they are developed pieces of ground.

A boundary survey has similar components as an ALTA survey, but deals mostly with boundary lines.  These surveys are often referred to as either property surveys, land surveys and as mentioned above boundary surveys.  These surveys are usually performed when a buyer has owned the property for a given amount of time and desires to know their boundary lines.  These are often associated with smaller transactions and projects.

This type of survey is completed after a development has been finished.  It gives the owner, financier and all those that are part of this project a real time view of how the project was built.  Was the project built according to the design drawings.  This type of survey provides that information.

Construction surveying is the process of surveying buildings, roads, utilities at the time of construction.  As you visit sites that are being developed, you will notice survey stakes throughout the subject area.  This is what those stakes are suggesting to the contractors.  They provide details, elevations and locations of each of the designed components.

A Property Line Is More Than a Coordinate on a Screen.

Professional land surveying combines deeds, recorded plats, prior surveys, monument evidence and precise field measurements with the judgment of a licensed surveyor. That distinction matters when a property purchase, building location, subdivision or dispute depends on the answer.

Quick answers

Utah Land Surveying FAQ

A few of the questions property owners and project teams commonly ask before contacting Ludlow Engineering.

What does a land surveyor do?

A professional land surveyor researches property records and collects precise field measurements to locate boundaries, monuments, elevations or other site information required by the particular survey.

How do I know which type of survey I need?

Start with the decision you need to make. Property-line questions usually require a boundary survey; design projects commonly need topographic information; commercial transactions may require an ALTA/NSPS survey. We can help define the correct scope.

How much does a land survey cost in Utah?

Cost varies substantially by survey type, parcel size, available records, existing monuments, terrain, access and the required deliverables. See our Utah land survey cost guide for planning information.

How long does a survey take?

Turnaround depends on records research, field conditions, parcel complexity, survey type and current scheduling. If you have a closing, permit or construction deadline, provide it when requesting a quote.

Can a surveyor find my property corners?

Yes. Boundary surveying includes researching the legal record and searching for relevant monument evidence. When a required corner cannot be recovered, a licensed surveyor determines the appropriate position using the available record and field evidence.

Do you provide both surveying and civil engineering?

Yes. Ludlow Engineering provides professional land surveying along with civil engineering services, allowing many projects to move from existing conditions and boundary work into site design, platting and construction support with the same firm.

Where is Ludlow Engineering located?

Ludlow Engineering and Land Surveying is located at 1451 S. Main in Nephi, Utah. Central Utah is our home base, with projects performed throughout Utah depending on scope and scheduling.

What should I send when requesting a quote?

Start with the property address or parcel number, what you are trying to accomplish and any deadline. A deed, recorded plat, title report or previous survey is also helpful when available.
