At RJM, we maintain a licensed Ohio Professional Surveyor on staff, which means your project will receive quality and accurate surveying services every time. We provide boundary surveys, mortgage surveys, and topographic surveys on a regular basis. With our service-driven attitude and experience, we finish your job promptly and correctly. The RJM staff is also well-versed in establishing right-of-ways, easements, and property lines in the field as well as creating professional looking documents and legal descriptions.
RJM has recently invested in state of the art surveying equipment. Please take a look at what technology RJM utilizes for your benefit!
A boundary survey determines the property lines of a parcel of land described in a deed. It also indicates the extent of any easements or encroachments and may also show the limitations imposed on the property by state or local regulations. RJM recommends professional surveying services whenever a client needs to buy, subdivide, or improve a piece of property, which ensures that boundary disputes are minimized.
Our services include thoroughly examining historical records related to the land in question as well as surrounding properties, which may include the Registry of Deeds, county commissioners’ offices, town offices, historical associations, and the Ohio Department of Transportation. Our field work includes establishing a control network or points that describe the property lines of the parcel being investigated, searching for and locating existing monuments and other evidence of boundaries. The results of our field investigations are then compared with research documents to reconcile any discrepancies between legal descriptions and field observations to reach a final conclusion regarding the property’s boundary. If necessary, new monuments are set on the property, and a final report and legal description are provided by our professional surveyor.
Unlike a boundary survey, a mortgage survey is simply a surveyor’s opinion that buildings and major improvements appear to be located on a property described in a deed. While not determining whether the boundaries described in the deed are correct, with our new state of the art equipment RJM can accurately and quickly determine with higher accuracy the locations of buildings, pavement, and other structures in half the time of a traditional survey.
Because we are a local firm, RJM can respond quickly to your mortgage needs, whether you are a banking institution, realtor, or private land owner.
At RJM, our engineering projects have allowed us to become experienced and efficient at performing topographic surveying, where we develop an accurate and detailed picture of the relief and features on our clients’ properties. Often useful for designing improvements to a property such as new homes, driveways, or new commerical and residential developments, RJM can provide you or your designer a detailed topographic survey to facilitate the successful design of your project.
