Landvec Technologies provides ALTA/NSPS Survey Drafting and CAD Production Support for surveying firms and other professionals who need organized, production-ready survey drawings. We work with client-provided survey data, CAD files, point files, plats, title information, PDFs, markups, and project instructions.
Our ALTA Survey CAD Drafting Support can incorporate a range of property and site information, including property boundaries and survey monuments, easements and rights-of-way, buildings and site improvements, parking and access features, utilities, and other surveyed elements. We also organize applicable title and project-related information along with dimensions, annotations, survey notes, and other required CAD details to create a clear and well-structured drawing.
Service Overview
ALTA/NSPS Survey Drafting involves organizing detailed property and site information into a clear, structured CAD drawing based on the survey data and project requirements provided by the surveying firm. At Landvec Technologies, we provide ALTA/NSPS Survey Drafting Support to help surveying professionals prepare consistent, production-ready drawings.

Easements & Rights-of-Way
Depicting applicable easements, rights-of-way, access areas, and other property interests identified in the project information.
Buildings & Site Improvements
Drafting buildings, parking areas, driveways, fences, sidewalks, and other relevant site improvements.
Utilities & Site Features
Incorporating surveyed utilities and other visible or identified site features provided in the survey data.
Title & Project Information
Organizing applicable title information, legal descriptions, and project-specific requirements provided by the client.
Annotations & Survey Details
Maintaining dimensions, labels, notes, symbols, and other CAD details required for clear drawing presentation.
CAD Standards & Sheet Setup
Following client-provided layer standards, text styles, line weights, templates, sheet layouts, and plotting requirements.
Key Considerations for ALTA/NSPS Survey Drafting
ALTA/NSPS Survey Projects often require coordination between survey data, recorded documents, title information, and project-specific requirements. Our ALTA Survey CAD Drafting approach considers these details to help maintain a clear and well-coordinated drawing.
Boundary & Property Review
Bearings, distances, monuments, legal descriptions, and other supplied property references are reviewed for consistency within the CAD drawing. Any unclear information or discrepancies can be identified for review by the surveying firm.
Easements, Rights-of-Way & Encroachments
Applicable easements, rights-of-way, access areas, and identified encroachments can be coordinated with the available survey, plat, and title-related information. This helps ensure relevant property conditions are presented clearly within the ALTA Survey Drafting workflow.
Schedule B-II & Title References
Applicable Schedule B-II exceptions, recorded references, and other title-related information can be coordinated with the survey drawing when provided. References and related information are presented according to the project requirements, while legal or title interpretation remains with the appropriate professional.
FEMA Lines & Site Information
Applicable FEMA flood-zone or flood-hazard information can be represented or included within the project scope. Related site information can also be coordinated with the survey data and other project references without independently determining flood conditions.
Vicinity Map, North Arrow & Survey Notes
A clear vicinity map, properly oriented north arrow, legends, survey notes, and required references contribute to a complete and readable ALTA drawing. These elements can be arranged according to the client's sheet standards and project requirements.
Table A & Project-Specific Requirements
Applicable ALTA/NSPS Table A items, client instructions, and additional project requirements can be incorporated based on the defined scope. Our ALTA Survey Drafting Support can also accommodate project revisions and specific presentation requirements provided by the surveying firm.
Uses & Why ALTA/NSPS Survey Drafting Is Important
ALTA/NSPS Surveys are commonly used for commercial real estate transactions, property acquisition and due diligence, title review, financing, development, and planning.
Well-organized ALTA Survey CAD Drafting helps clearly present property boundaries, improvements, easements, rights-of-way, and other relevant site information for surveyors and project stakeholders.
For surveying firms, consistent CAD Production can also make drawings easier to review, revise, and incorporate into the firm's established workflow.
