Precision, reliability, and deep regional knowledge - from residential lot lines to complex ALTA surveys for commercial transactions.
Accurate survey data is the foundation of every successful engineering and development project. Lynch & Associates' land surveying services are built on precision, reliability, and a deep knowledge of Wisconsin geography, statutes, and local requirements. Whether you're a homeowner clarifying a property line, a developer platting a subdivision, or a lender requiring an ALTA/NSPS survey for a commercial transaction - we deliver accurate results on schedule.
Our Professional Land Surveyors and experienced field crews use advanced GPS and robotic total station equipment to deliver the accuracy your project demands. Our work spans residential improvements to large-scale construction projects throughout Wisconsin and the Midwest.
Establishing exact property lines for legal, planning, and construction purposes. We research deed records, plats, and recorded instruments to locate and document property corners with precision.
Detailed elevation and terrain data essential for design and grading work. We capture ground features, utilities, structures, and spot elevations to create accurate base maps for engineering and site planning.
The gold standard for commercial real estate transactions - required by lenders and title companies. We prepare ALTA surveys in full compliance with current national standards, with optional Table A items as requested.
Used under Wisconsin statutes to divide land or adjust lot lines outside the subdivision plat process. We prepare CSMs that meet all county requirements and are ready for recording.
For larger land divisions, we prepare full subdivision plats meeting Wisconsin statutes, local ordinances, and county surveyor requirements - from preliminary to final recorded plat.
Translating design into physical on-site locations for grading, utilities, structures, and paving. Accurate construction staking reduces rework and keeps contractors moving efficiently.
Supporting utilities, zoning compliance, and site planning needs - combining boundary and topographic information into a complete base map for design.
Precisely describing and locating easements for utilities, drainage, access, and conservation - prepared for recording and legal enforceability.
Documenting what was actually constructed versus what was designed - for record-keeping, regulatory compliance, and future renovation planning.
Lynch & Associates' survey department is led by Ritch Wenzel, Professional Land Surveyor, with experienced crew chiefs Seth Oldenburg, Lee Gunderson, and Nate Ulmer - plus Sr. Survey Technician Megan Theune-Baillargeon in the office. The team delivers the right combination of field precision and office expertise on every project.
Boundary and site survey for industrial facility, supporting site planning and facility expansion permitting.
Full survey services supporting residential subdivision development including plat preparation and construction staking.
It depends on the parcel - boundary length and complexity, the quality of existing records and monuments, terrain and tree cover, and the type of survey you need. That's why we price each survey individually instead of off a rate sheet. Send us the property address through our Request a Land Survey form and we'll respond within one business day with a written scope and fee - no obligation.
Three steps drive the schedule: records research, fieldwork, and drafting. Season, weather, and how quickly the records can be assembled all affect timing - so tell us your deadline up front, especially if you're working against a closing date or a construction start, and we'll be straight with you about whether we can meet it.
Many municipalities require a survey or site plan with the permit application - and even where one isn't required, knowing exactly where your line is before you build costs far less than moving a structure later. If your property corners already exist and are recoverable, staking them may be all you need. Describe the project and we'll tell you which situation you're in.
A boundary survey establishes and monuments your property lines under Wisconsin's minimum standards for property surveys - the right tool for most residential needs. An ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey is a more intensive national standard used in commercial transactions: it incorporates the title commitment, documents easements and improvements, and covers the specific items your lender and title company require. Residential purchases rarely need one; commercial closings usually do.
Yes. In Wisconsin, a Certified Survey Map (CSM) can divide land into as many as four lots; larger divisions take a subdivision plat. Both go through your municipality's review and approval process - we prepare the map, coordinate with the town, village, or city, and record the final document.
A boundary survey retraces the original monuments and records to establish where the deeded line actually is. We survey to the evidence - not to either party's preference - which is exactly what makes the result useful for resolving the question. If the matter is already in legal hands, our survey and documentation can support that process.
