Form Survey
A form survey is a survey showing the location of form boards for a concrete foundation. Typically required for inspection prior to pouring a slab, form surveys check that a concrete slab will not be encroaching within various easements or building setback lines. The form boards located are what contain the concrete as its poured to create a concrete slab foundation.
We suggest that you order this type of survey to confirm the correct location of your forms before you install the plumbing or dig your piers. Additionally, if you're adding onto an existing structure, it is sometimes required to get a form survey of the addition. Many cities in the area require, for the building permit process, a form survey when a new structure is being built on a piece of property.
Form surveys help to ensure future improvements are properly placed on a property.
