KEMPER & ASSOCIATES, INC. offers a wide variety of land surveying services as well as land planning consulting services. The following is a listing of services provided by our firm.

Updated with the latest survey and computer drafting technologies as much as possible, we currently have four Leica Electronic Robotic total stations including Leica’s latest model MS-50 (1 second robotic) capable of one-person operation and laser scanning. We were one of the first survey firms in Minnesota to embrace the use of GPS in our field surveys. We have added additional real-time duel frequency units including three of Leica’s latest GS-14 & GS-16 models which utilize the Minnesota Department of Transporation’s Virtual Reference Network for use in acquiring high quality GPS positions throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin in a rapid and efficient manner without the need to set up base stations. We were also one of the first in Minnesota to utilize electronic levels which read and electronically record level note measurements from scanning a bar-coded staff.

We strive to meet every project’s specific needs with state of the art surveying equipment and computer applications. Today’s ever rising costs in real estate demand the most precise and detailed survey.

A boundary is a natural or artificial separation marking the border of two adjacent properties. The responsibility of the professional land surveyor is to carry out field surveys of these boundaries, to calculate dimensions and areas, to prepare maps showing the lengths and directions of boundary lines and the areas of lands, and to write legal descriptions for conveyances of lands from one party to another. From typical lot surveys of platted lots to large rural parcels requiring section breakdown of one or several sections.

A topographic map shows the configuration of the earth's surface, or relief, and includes natural features such as hills, valleys, trees, and streams, as well as man-made changes such as buildings, roads, canals and cultivation. Topographic maps, distinguished by the depiction of terrestrial relief, are used in many ways. They are an essential aid in the design of engineering projects requiring consideration of land forms, elevations or gradients.

ALTA (or American Land Title Association and American Congress on Surveying and Mapping) Surveys set forth strict minimum standard detail requirements to be complied with. These types of surveys are most often required for commercial transactions and are requested by the lending institution or title insurance company.
