Land survey drafting services

CadLap turns your field data into finished, standards-compliant survey drawings. We draft for licensed US surveyors only, in AutoCAD Civil 3D, inside your own layers, blocks and templates, with production running overnight so drawings are back within 24 to 48 hours.

Boundary survey drafting

The core of the practice

Deed and record plats resolved against field measurements, monuments noted as found or set, closure verified before layout. Drawings a retracing surveyor can follow.

ALTA/NSPS survey drafting

2026 standards

Land Title Survey sheets drafted to the 2026 Minimum Standard Detail Requirements, Table A items itemized, Schedule B-II exceptions plotted and cited on the face of the drawing.

Topographic survey drafting

Civil 3D surfaces

Point files sorted to feature layers by description code, TIN surfaces and contours built and cleaned, utilities and improvements drawn from the shots, not sketched.

Mortgage survey drafting

Volume work

Mortgage location surveys and inspection reports for closings, produced in batches with consistent formatting, because in this work the turnaround is the product.

Plat and subdivision drafting

Recording ready

Subdivision plats, lot line adjustments, easement exhibits and condominium plats drafted to the checklist of the county recorder they are going to.

As-built survey drafting

Built vs designed

Record drawings comparing constructed conditions with design, for utility certification, site completion and municipal sign-off.

PDF to CAD conversion

From the record

Scanned plats and paper record maps rebuilt as layered DWGs by entering the record bearings and distances, so the geometry closes instead of merely looking right.

Why firms hand us their drafting

Survey drafting is skilled work, and CAD techs who are good at it are hard to hire and harder to keep. When the backlog grows, the choice is usually overtime, a hire you may not need in the slow season, or a drafting partner. We are the third option, structured so it behaves like the first two: your standards, your template, a consistent crew that learns your preferences job by job, and a quality check before anything reaches you.

Common questions

Which survey types do you draft?

Boundary surveys, ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys, topographic surveys, mortgage location surveys and inspection reports, subdivision and lot-and-block plats, as-built and record drawings, plot plans and tree surveys, plus PDF and paper-to-CAD redraws of record documents.

Do you work with small firms?

Yes. Most of our clients are firms with one to fifteen people, where every drafting hour the licensed surveyor spends at a workstation is an hour not spent sealing work or winning it. There is no minimum volume.

Can we start with one job?

That is how every client starts. Send one real job as a free trial, together with a couple of your past drawings so we can match your standards, and judge the result.

Who owns the drawings?

You do. Deliverables produced under your quotation are yours, and we claim no rights over them. We also do not display client work publicly; our portfolio uses samples with identifying information removed.
