For your property transaction
An ALTA/NSPS land title survey brings boundary research, title documents, and field observations into a survey plat or map for your transaction team. The scope includes the applicable standards and the optional Table A items you agree with the surveyor.
Scope, cost & timing questionsFor a vacant site or a property assembled from several parcels, the first task is knowing exactly what you're working with. The address alone may not describe the full project area.
Highway 95A Ditch area, Fernley
FEMA's Fernley revision became effective April 13, 2026 and addresses Highway 95A Ditch, its split and shallow flooding near Desert Shadows Lane. Check whether your parcel falls within the revised area. This is a specific map change, not a citywide flood-zone determination.

Fernley's GIS resources include parcel, land-use, zoning and infrastructure mapping. Use them to orient an assembled property or planned improvement, then supply every relevant APN and legal description. Infrastructure layers don't replace recorded easements, field utility investigation or a boundary survey.

Utility connections and reliable field information matter when planning a property project. These examples pair regional work in Sparks with a commercial ALTA survey led by Jon Loder.
Sparks, Nevada
Eastern Sierra Engineering
ESE provided civil design and construction management for rehabilitation and expansion of Sparks' sanitary sewer and storm drain networks. The scope included existing-condition assessment, pipe and structure design, bid assistance, submittal review, utility coordination, and materials testing and inspection.

Survey team led by Jon Loder, PLS
Jon Loder led the commercial ALTA survey and digital-twin workflow featured by Engineering the Earth. The team combined UAV mapping with boundary work, ground control, quality checks, and utility ties, then updated the mapping after part of the site was regraded.

From the first title review to the last stake in the ground, we help your team understand the site and move the project forward.
Bring the property, title records, and field conditions into one clear survey for your transaction team.
We scope the survey around the current ALTA/NSPS standards, the property interest being surveyed, and the Table A items agreed with your lender and title team.Understand where the parcel begins, where it ends, and how the evidence fits together.
Boundary research, monument recovery, and field measurements support a documented picture of the property rather than an assumption based on a fence or online map.Give your design team a measured starting point for the ground and its existing features.
Define the contours, structures, surface improvements, and asset information your project needs, with AutoCAD, GIS, or PDF deliverables agreed during scoping.Carry the design into the field with coordinated survey control and layout.
Discuss the plans, control, construction sequence, and staking requirements before mobilization so the field work supports the actual stage of your project.See how recorded rights and measured site features relate to the property.
ESE provides easement surveying and TRPA land coverage verification services. These scopes are discussed separately from title-survey requirements and agency review.Capture a broader view of the site to support mapping and terrain documentation.
UAV mapping can support site and terrain documentation. The team selects methods around the accuracy, access, and deliverable requirements of the scope.Your property, transaction, and next steps shape the work. We start by defining what your team needs from the survey.
Share the address or APN, transaction purpose, available documents, and target date. We’ll discuss the scope with you.
We review title information and coordinate selected Table A items with your transaction team. Topographic, utility, or coverage work can be scoped alongside the title survey.
Research and field measurements come together in a survey your team can use. AutoCAD, GIS, and PDF deliverables are available as the project requires.
Send what you have. We’ll help identify what’s still needed.

Jon Loder, PLS Survey Manager
Jon leads ESE's surveying program, bringing more than 40 years of experience to boundary research, field measurement, and the survey information your project team needs.
Understanding the scope helps everyone start on the same page.
The fee depends on the property and the agreed scope: parcel count and size, the title records, site access, field conditions, and selected Table A items. Send the address or parcel number and the requirements you have so we can discuss a project-specific quote.
We confirm the schedule after reviewing the scope, available title information, field access, and current workload. Share your closing or design deadline when you inquire. Record research, weather, and coordination with your title or lender team can affect timing.
Send the parcel numbers, a location map, and any legal descriptions or title records you have. Tell us whether the next step is a purchase, financing, design, or a proposed land division.
Yes, a scope can be discussed for multiple parcels. We'll need to confirm which parcels and property interests belong in the survey and what each member of the transaction team requires.
A survey documents the land within its agreed scope. Land-use permissions are a separate planning question, so your project team should confirm the proposed use with the appropriate jurisdiction.
The 2026 ALTA/NSPS Minimum Standard Detail Requirements took effect on February 23, 2026, replacing the 2021 edition. We'll discuss the current requirements and the optional Table A items your transaction team requests when defining your scope.
