What we survey

Surveys Long Beach Actually Asks For

Most people arrive holding somebody else's request - plan check, a lender, a title insurer or an architect has asked for a specific document. Each one below is a different document.

Boundary Survey - Where your lot really ends

Boundary Survey

Locates your property lines from the recorded tract map and street monuments, and shows where walls, fences and structures sit against them.

Learn More → ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey - For commercial closings and loans

ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey

The national survey standard title insurers and commercial lenders rely on, with every title commitment exception plotted or noted.

Learn More → Topographic Survey - Grades and existing conditions

Topographic Survey

Maps ground elevations, drainage paths, structures and visible utilities as a base for grading, drainage and building design.

Learn More → ADU Site Survey - The base for a backyard unit

ADU Site Survey

Lot lines, existing buildings, setbacks, easements, utilities and grades - the measured base an ADU site plan is drawn on.

Learn More → Elevation Certificate - FEMA flood zone documentation

Elevation Certificate

The FEMA form that records how your building sits against the base flood elevation - used for flood insurance and map amendment requests.

Learn More → Construction Staking - Setting the design on the ground

Construction Staking

Offset, grade and utility stakes set from boundary control and benchmarks, so the building lands where the plans put it.

Learn More → As-Built Survey - What was actually built

As-Built Survey

Measures finished structures, pads and utilities against the lot lines and approved plans - for close-out, lenders and existing-conditions work.

Learn More → Lot Line Adjustment - Moving a line between neighbors

Lot Line Adjustment

Surveys, exhibits and legal descriptions for moving a boundary between adjoining parcels under the Subdivision Map Act exemption.

Why people call

Four Reasons Someone Needs a Surveyor

Hardly anyone orders a survey for fun. In most of these cases somebody else asked for it and set the date.

Plan Check Wants a Site Plan

The ADU, the addition or the new garage cannot be submitted until the drawings show the real lot lines, setbacks and existing structures - not a sketch off the assessor map.

Escrow Is Waiting on a Survey

A lender or title insurer has conditioned the deal on a survey, usually an ALTA/NSPS on commercial property, and the closing date is already on the calendar.

The Block Wall Is Coming Down

The wall between two yards is being rebuilt, a neighbour thinks it is on their side, or a new fence is going in. Nobody should pour a footing until the line is marked.

The Flood Zone Changed the Premium

A property near the water is paying for flood insurance, or a lender needs to know the floor height relative to the flood elevation. That is an elevation certificate.

Why us

Why Long Beach Owners and Builders Call Us

Here the field work is often the quick part. What decides whether a survey is useful is the record research behind it and whether it is drawn for whoever asked for it.

Tell Us the Address and the Date

The address or APN, what has been asked for and when it is due. That is enough to price it.

Free Quote, Same Business Day

A price and a realistic date. If the deadline cannot be met we say so before you commit.

Records, Then Field

We pull the recorded maps, prior surveys and corner records, then measure what is on the ground and reconcile the two.

You Get the Drawing

Delivered in the format the requesting party accepts, so it does not bounce back from plan check or escrow.

Where we work

Same metro, very different ground

A canal-front lot in Naples, an oil-field lot on Signal Hill and a beach cottage in Old Town Seal Beach raise completely different survey questions.

Two-storey waterfront homes with small docks and seawalls lining a calm canal, palms and moored skiffs in late sun

Long Beach

Canal-front lots in Naples, tidelands along the shore and a harbor that sank during the oil boom.

 An oil pumpjack on a fenced lot beside a modern hillside house, with the flatlands and port cranes in the distance

Signal Hill

A century of oil wells under the lots, and a hill raised by the Newport-Inglewood fault.

 A narrow street of closely spaced beach cottages with bikes against low fences, palms and the ocean at the end of the street

Seal Beach

Narrow Old Town lots near the sand, coastal flood zones and Orange County records.

FAQ

Straight Answers

What does a land survey cost in Long Beach?
It depends on the survey type and how much record research the lot needs, not on square footage. A boundary survey on a regular tract lot is at one end; an ALTA/NSPS survey on a commercial parcel with easements is at the other. Send the address or APN and what was asked for and you get a real number the same business day.
The city wants a survey for my ADU. Which one is that?
Usually a site plan built on a boundary and topographic survey: the lot lines, the existing house and structures, setbacks, utilities and enough grades to design drainage. If you forward the plan check comments or the architect's request, we will tell you exactly what is needed.
What is an APN and why do you ask for it?
The Assessor's Parcel Number - the county's own identifier for a parcel. It lets us pull the assessor map, the recorded tract map and prior surveys quickly and removes any ambiguity about corner lots or split parcels. If you do not have it, the address is fine.
Do you work in Orange County as well?
Yes - Seal Beach, Los Alamitos and Rossmoor sit just over the county line. Orange County keeps its own survey records, so jobs there draw on a different set of maps, which is one reason each area has its own page.
My neighbour says the block wall is on their side. Can a survey settle it?
A survey establishes where the record line runs and where the wall actually sits, which is the factual basis any agreement needs. It does not by itself decide a legal dispute, but no attorney can advise either of you without the drawing first.
How fast can you turn one around?
Field work is rarely the constraint. Record research and drafting take longer, and how much longer depends on the lot and the survey type. Tell us the date on the first call and we will say plainly whether it is achievable.
