Land Surveys for Industrial and Warehouse Developments in Texas

Texas has become a logistics and manufacturing powerhouse, with new industrial parks and warehouse facilities emerging along major transportation corridors in Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio.

From the Port of Houston to the I-45 freight network, precision is critical — and that starts with a land survey.

Here’s how professional land surveys keep industrial and warehouse developments compliant, buildable, and profitable.

1. Site Selection and Feasibility

Before land is purchased, surveys help investors understand site constraints and potential.
Topographic and boundary surveys provide the groundwork for feasibility studies and design planning.

Key Benefits:

• Identify floodplain or drainage limitations.

• Confirm access to roads and utilities.

• Ensure property meets zoning and setback rules.

2. ALTA Surveys for Financing and Title

Industrial and warehouse projects often involve significant capital and multiple parcels. Lenders and title companies require ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys before closing.

Key Benefits:

• Confirm ownership boundaries.

• Map easements and right-of-ways.

• Reveal encroachments that could delay development.

3. Floodplain and Drainage Verification

Large warehouse projects require extensive drainage systems. Floodplain surveys confirm that building elevations and stormwater plans meet FEMA and local compliance standards.

Key Benefits:

• Avoids post-construction flooding issues.

• Ensures insurability and lender approval.

• Prevents violations that delay occupancy.

4. Construction Staking and Layout Accuracy

Once construction begins, staking surveys ensure foundations, access roads, and utilities align perfectly with design specifications.

Key Benefits:

• Keeps crews on schedule.

• Reduces rework and material waste.

• Prevents costly layout errors.

5. As-Built Surveys for Final Certification

After completion, as-built surveys verify that structures were built in compliance with approved plans — essential for occupancy certificates, refinancing, and long-term maintenance.

Key Benefits:

• Provides certified documentation for lenders and municipalities.

• Protects future resale or expansion efforts.

Why Surveys Matter for Texas Industry

From logistics corridors in Houston to manufacturing hubs in Central Texas, accurate surveys drive efficiency and compliance.

They reduce risk, support financing, and provide a reliable foundation for decades of industrial productivity.

Industrial development moves fast — but it can’t move far without precision.

Professional land surveys are essential for every stage of warehouse and manufacturing projects, ensuring Texas developers build smarter, safer, and stronger.
