When presenting a property to the market an owner expects
a home to be sold with little to no building survey documentation. This
can often make the task of brokering a deal with a potential client
quite difficult. For this reason Prime Edge Building Surveys has come
up with various solutions for real estate brokers as well as people
who are selling their homes independently.
Depending on the type of building, its use and potential customers,
different types of services can be provided. For example, Prime Edge
Building Surveys has a lot of experience in generating quickly and easily
general layouts of the buildings using today’s advances in technology.
To do so we usually either take accurate measurements of the building
or develop complete sets of plans, which usually include the following:
- Floor Plans with interior and exterior walls, windows, doors, access
doors, window and door schedules, openings, skylights, exposed beams,
stairs, soffits, built-in casework, attached decks, balconies and
patios
- Mechanical and Electrical Layouts including plumbing fixtures, HVAC
register locations, power, data, TV, communication outlet locations,
lighting layout with switches.
- Roof Outline with valleys, ridges, hips, slope drainage, parapet
walls, chimneys.
- Four Exterior Elevations including all visible elements such as
posts, walls, windows, doors, openings, stairs, railing, roof exterior
siding, doors, windows and ceiling heights.
Existing documentation for a building can save much time for a broker,
potential tenant or owner. Having professionally made layout of a house
often can help a potential client to better remember it and make a much
more informed decision regarding the purchase in general. Brokers usually
benefit form these professionally made plans for three reasons: they
are easy to mail and/or give to a potential client, could be displayed
in a full size copy at open house and they are very informative. To
find out how we can help your clients to make a better decision, please

Prime Edge Building Surveys supports residential General Contractors
with CAD Drafting, As-Builts and Post Construction Field Verification
services. For example, due to time constraints client asks General Contractor
to proceed with the demolition process before obtaining the rest of
the permits (sometimes demolition permit can be issued before building
permit.) In this case Prime Edge Building Surveys provides a General
Contractor with accurate documentation on the structure before the re-modeling
or addition project, ensuring the smooth design and approval by the
local Planning and Building agencies at a later time.
