Consulting
Chastain & Associates, P.C. does not limit our scope of service to simply boundary surveys and development work. We realize that situations arise that require specialized consulting that can only be provided by professional land surveyors. Some of the specialized services that we provide are:
Land Boundary litigation consulting - When boundary disputes erupt and wind up in court, you need proven experience and credible expert witness testimony. Whether our firm performed the survey of your property or not, we are able to work closely with attorneys in coordinating the most effective case for your interests.
Flood plain consulting - As more development occurs around flood prone areas, more regulatory issues arise. Most issues arise from the elevation of the flood plain as related to insured structures. If FEMA has published a base flood elevation, we can simply relate mean sea level to your structure and complete the elevation certificate. If there is not a published base flood elevation, we can coordinate our efforts with a Professional (hydrologic) Engineer to establish the base flood elevation.
Feasibility studies - Before purchasing a tract of land most buyers have an array of questions that must be answered, either for their peace of mind or to satisfy lending requirements. The scope of service varies from project to project, but we are able to provide the necessary information needed for most acquisitions.
Special purpose surveys - Not all surveying work falls between boundary surveying and construction staking. We have experience providing special project expertise in such areas as volumetric calculations for stock piles or borrow pits, sight distance determination, GPS positioning for latitude/longitude, backwater flooding determinations, geological location work and subsurface modeling, just to name a few.
