See the Full Picture Before You Buy, Build, or Invest
Houston’s real estate market is vast—and so is the opportunity. But beneath the surface of even the most promising property lies a set of factors that can make or break your project.
Whether you’re planning a high-rise in Midtown, a medical office in Katy, or a multifamily development in The Woodlands, land surveys reveal critical data that helps you make informed investment decisions.
How Land Surveys Uncover Hidden Value
Most properties have untapped potential—if you know where to look. Here’s what surveys from South Texas Surveying can help uncover:
Undisclosed Easements:
Knowing the exact location of utility or access easements can open or limit development options.
Elevation Details:
Topographic surveys reveal grading issues or opportunities for creative drainage or landscaping.
Zoning and Setback Data:
ALTA surveys provide insight into buildable area and legal usage, influencing how much ROI you can achieve on a parcel.
Subdivision Opportunities:
A boundary or platting survey may show that a lot can be legally split or reconfigured to maximize development or resale potential.
Houston’s Market Demands Precision
Houston’s commercial real estate sector continues to expand across a wide range of property types—industrial, multifamily, retail, and healthcare. Developers and brokers are under more pressure than ever to act fast and stay compliant.
