On request, Lymangrover Surveying will furnish a free bid price for each requested
service based on a defined scope of work. This bid will be the actual cost of the
service, regardless of the actual hours expended during the project. By doing adequate
prior field and office investigation of each project, the prospective client is afforded
the piece of mind in knowing a definitive cost and does not feel the need to supervise
time spent.
It is our philosophy that this results in client confidence and high customer satisfaction.
LYMANGOVER SURVEYING SERVICES
BOUNDARY SURVEY
The goal of a boundary survey is to establish the property lines of an existing
parcel of land. This may be a parcel of varying size, from a small city lot to a
parcel encompassing many acres.
The location of the boundaries are determined by the legal description of the parcel
which is included in the conveying document such as a deed. The legal description
is evaluated and translated to a specific location on the ground using sound land
surveying principles.
These positions on the ground are established using regulated and established field
surveying procedures and then monumented in accordance with Washington State Law.
The Washington State Survey Recording Act RCW 58.09 then requires that an 18” x
24” mylar drawing be recorded at the appropriate county courthouse which illustrates
the survey and all pertinent details.
CONSTRUCTION STAKING
This service provides reference points on the ground to be utilized in constructing
many different types of structures, such as buildings, roads and underground utilities.
This staking is done based on a set of design plans usually prepared by a licensed
engineer who uses a previously prepared topographic map. The amount of staking and
the location of said stakes is dependent on the direction of client, however all
staking is double checked and documented and recorded for later reference.
TOPOGRAPHIC MAPPING
Topographic mapping is the process by which physical features of a particular site
are field located and then depicted on a map for the purpose of designing various
projects. The field mapping is usually tied to existing property lines and vertical
datum and is done using the latest robotic total stations. All of the data is
collected electronically and transmitted to computers using state of the art survey
processing software. A digital cad drawing is then produced showing all features
as requested by the client.

SUBDIVISION AND PLATTING
The purpose of subdividing or platting a parcel of land is to create two or more
legal parcels from a previously existing approved parcel. This is can be accomplished
by various procedures such as short platting (usually into four parcels or less),
formal platting ( usually more that four resulting parcels) or large lot segregations
( usually resulting in parcels five acres or greater in size).
Each municipality in which a parent parcel is located has developed its own set
of ordinances which establish requirements and regulate the subdivision procedures.
These procedures may vary substantially from municipality to municipality.
On completion of all requirements, survey monuments must be established at the
new parcel corners and a final subdivision map prepared and recorded at the appropriate
county auditor’s office.
