Development Permits
When building a new house, the initial step for many property owners, developers, designers, and architects is requesting a survey of the property and surrounding area. This survey will determine the nature and location of the structures that can be built on the property. It also verifies compliance with zoning laws and setbacks, so your project meets all Calgary construction requirements before even breaking ground.

Property & Fence Line Surveys
A Property Line Survey accurately identifies where property lines are, then they are clearly marked on the ground (staked out) enabling easy identification of what structures are on who's property and/or where to build a new structure, such as a fence.

House Stakeouts
A House Stakeout (or Excavation Survey or Basement Stakeout) is a service that marks the ground with construction stakes to identify the location of building construction and the depth of excavation for the basement. It ensures that you dig in the right place. This survey helps prevent expensive errors and helps with site plan alignment.

Large Building Construction
Large building construction involves multiple surveys to ensure that the commercial building, high-rise condominium, or parking lot structure projects are built as efficiently as possible. Precision in construction surveying is essential for avoiding compliance issues and ensuring structural stability.

Lot Grading Certificates
A Lot Grading Survey is a type of municipal survey designed to determine which direction water will drain from the property and ensure that landscaping meets the Plot Plan specifications. The municipality may require a lot of grading certificates indicating that water drainage is appropriate. Proper lot grading ensures long-term drainage efficiency and prevents costly water damage.

Main Floor and Footing Elevation Surveys
A Main Floor Elevation Survey or Footing Elevation Survey ensures that the structure being built is of the correct height relative to municipal requirements. Depending upon municipal requirements, you may need either the Main Floor survey or the Footing Elevation survey. Confirming finished floor elevation at this stage prevents drainage issues and zoning violations.

Plot Plans
The Plot Plan displays the intended shape and dimensions of the new building in relation to the property boundaries. It forms the basis of all construction work. The plot plan must be approved by the municipal authority before construction commences. Accurate plot plans are needed to prevent boundary disputes and aid with construction surveying accuracy.

Right of Way Surveys
Right-of-ways provide a way of granting rights to a piece of land without giving away ownership; such rights must be registered at the Land Titles Office.

Streetscapes
A Streetscape is the horizontal view of a Development Permit survey and is usually a required component in an application to the municipality for most property development work. This survey helps city planners and architects design streets that blend with the existing surroundings, maintaining local aesthetics and safety regulations.

Subdivision Surveys
Subdivision is taking a single parcel of land and dividing it into two or more parcels, each with their own land title. This work ranges from subdividing a single plot into two infills to creating entirely new neighbourhoods.

Utility Construction Surveys
A Utility Construction Survey determines where utilities will be located on a property in the future. These utilities include fiber-optic lines, power, natural gas, and water and sewage lines. This survey prevents costly mistakes by ensuring utility placements align with infrastructure plans.
