Land Surveys for Warehouse Development: Building Logistics Infrastructure with Precision

Warehouses Are Booming—But Only the Best-Planned Projects Win

From e-commerce fulfillment centers to regional logistics hubs, the demand for industrial space in Texas is surging. But before the steel goes up, a critical first step must happen: a professional land survey.

At South Texas Surveying, we support warehouse developers, engineers, and site selectors across Houston, Baytown, Rosenberg, Pasadena, and beyond—providing the ALTA, boundary, and topographic surveys needed to launch successful warehouse builds.

Why Surveys Are Crucial for Warehouse Projects

Warehouse construction comes with unique challenges. You need to ensure:

• The site is buildable and meets elevation and drainage standards

• There’s legal access for trucks and heavy equipment

• You’re compliant with zoning and setback regulations

• Easements won’t interfere with loading docks or traffic flow

• The legal description is precise to prevent future title issues

Key Surveys for Warehouse Site Development

✅ ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey

Required by lenders and title insurers. Includes boundary, easements, access, zoning, and improvements.

✅ Topographic Survey

Critical for grading, drainage, and slab elevation planning—especially on large industrial lots.

✅ Boundary Survey

Defines lot lines and confirms legal descriptions to avoid conflicts with neighbors or municipalities.

✅ Platting Services

If you’re subdividing a tract or consolidating parcels for development, you’ll need a new plat filed with the county.

Where Warehouse Growth Is Happening in Texas

We provide commercial land surveys for warehouse and industrial projects in:

• Baytown – High demand for logistics hubs near Port Houston

• Pasadena & Deer Park – Ideal for last-mile delivery and manufacturing

• Katy & Brookshire – Popular for distribution centers along I-10

• Rosenberg & Sugar Land – Expanding industrial parks west of Houston

• Conroe & The Woodlands – Growth along I-45 for light industrial use

• South Houston & Pearland – Infill industrial space for e-commerce players

Case Study: Industrial Site in Baytown

A developer acquired a 20-acre lot near Port Houston and needed a full topographic and ALTA survey to secure financing and begin site design. Our team identified an unrecorded drainage easement that could have interfered with truck access. By addressing it early, we helped preserve the full value of the parcel and kept the project on track.
