Elevation Certificate Drafting in Florida
FEMA elevation certificates prepared from your field data, with form entries, building diagrams, sketches and photo pages, ready for your surveyor to verify and sign. Built for high-volume Florida firms.
High Volume, Tight Deadlines, Zero Room for Errors
For surveyors in Florida and other flood-prone states, elevation certificates are steady, repetitive and unforgiving work. Builders need them at foundation and at completion. Homeowners need them for flood insurance and LOMA requests. Floodplain administrators reject forms with a wrong diagram number, a mismatched datum or a missing photo. And the fee rarely justifies an hour of a licensed surveyor’s time spent filling in boxes.
Our elevation certificate drafting service takes the form preparation and drawing work off your desk. Your crew shoots the elevations and photos; we prepare the certificate entries, select the matching building diagram for your confirmation, draw the building and location sketch, assemble photo pages and check everything against the FEMA instructions. Your surveyor verifies the numbers and signs. You issue more certificates, faster, with fewer rejections.
