The plot plan is an architecture and engineering map which shows the size and configuration of the property. Plot plans indicate the desired physical changes and what is currently exists on the property. Location of the building, porches, decks, sheds, and landscaping features are some of the information that is included in the plot plan.

A stake out survey is the process of interpreting construction plans and marking the location of proposed new structures such as roads or buildings. The survey specifies the location of designed improvements by driving wooden stakes in the ground.

The final survey is a boundary survey with all improvements to the property shown on the plan. The survey is executed after construction on the site is completed. The final survey reflects the visible improvements made during the construction process.

A land survey is a technique that determines the exact location, features, and boundaries of a property. A land survey reveals what the property offers and its full value.

A tree survey is a very important survey, and it is performed on private or public landscapes. At South Texas Engineering, our goal is to provide beneficial information on the trees so that property managers or homeowners can make informed decisions.

A protected area is defined as a geographical space that is dedicated and managed through legal or other effective means, to achieve the long-term conservation of nature with associated ecosystem services and cultural values. A comprehensive survey can provide a critical source of data and insights about these areas.
