First Survey Visit: Boundary Survey
This initial survey establishes the legal foundation of the project. Core Action Group’s surveyors locate and verify all property boundaries based on recorded plats, deeds, and existing monuments.
During this visit, surveyors confirm:
- Exact property lines
- Corners and boundary markers
- Recorded easements and right-of-ways
- Any encroachments or boundary conflicts
This step ensures the project begins with a clear understanding of ownership and legal limits, helping prevent disputes, permitting issues, or costly corrections later in construction.
Second Survey Visit: Building Envelope Survey
The building envelope survey confirms where construction is allowed to occur within the property boundaries and zoning restrictions.
Core Action Group verifies:
- Required setbacks from property lines
- Buildable area based on local zoning codes
- Alignment with approved site plans
- Compliance with HOA or municipal requirements
This visit protects the client by ensuring the structure is positioned entirely within permitted limits, reducing the risk of code violations or forced redesigns.
Third Survey Visit: Stem Wall Survey (Footer Survey)
Once excavation begins, Core Action Group returns to verify the location and alignment of the footers before concrete is poured.
Surveyors check:
- Footer placement relative to approved plans
- Horizontal and vertical alignment
- Compliance with setback and envelope requirements
- Proper positioning for load-bearing walls
This step is critical because footers serve as the structural base of the building. Confirming accuracy at this stage helps avoid structural issues and costly rework.
Fourth Survey Visit: Foundation Slab Survey
Before the foundation slab is poured, Core Action Group verifies the final position of the slab and foundation elements.
This visit ensures:
- The slab is within the approved footprint
- Elevations match engineered plans
- Anchor points and edges align with design specifications
- No boundary or setback violations exist
By verifying the slab location before concrete placement, this step helps lock in structural accuracy and protects the long-term integrity of the build.
Fifth Survey Visit: Stem Wall Survey (Tie Beam Survey)
At this stage, Core Action Group inspects the tie beams, which reinforce the structure and connect load-bearing elements.
Surveyors verify:
- Tie beam placement and dimensions
- Alignment with foundation and wall systems
- Structural consistency with engineering plans
- Continued compliance with property boundaries
This step ensures the structure remains square, stable, and properly supported as vertical construction progresses.
Sixth Survey Visit: Stem Wall Survey - Final As-Built.
The final survey confirms the completed foundation and structural elements are fully compliant with property boundaries and approved plans.
Core Action Group provides:
- Final verification of structure placement
- Confirmation of setback compliance
- Documentation for lenders, inspectors, and permitting agencies
- Peace of mind that construction matches approved designs
This final visit delivers the official confirmation that the project was built correctly from the ground up and meets all regulatory and legal requirements.
Why This Multi-Phase Survey Process Matters
Each survey visit builds on the last, creating a layered system of checks and verification that protects:
- Property owners
- Builders and contractors
- Architects and engineers
- Lenders and municipalities
For Core Action Group, this process demonstrates precision, accountability, and proactive risk prevention at every stage of construction.
