What is a Detail Level Identification Survey?
A Detail Level Identification Survey (also known as a Detail, Level & Identification Survey) captures all critical site details to ensure your project is designed, approved, and built with precision. This survey includes:
Natural land levels & contours – Essential for accurate designs
Property boundaries & existing structures – Avoid encroachment issues
Adjoining properties & easements – Prevent disputes & ensure compliance
Visible services & site features – Understand all constraints before designing
The data is then compiled into a highly accurate survey plan (DWG & PDF) for use by your architect, designer, or approval bodies.
