The information provided in the Elevation Certificate is used in underwriting the premium cost of a flood insurance policy. FEMA Flood Elevation Certificates are also commonly required as part of permitting construction projects and in the process of raising a home's foundation.

A FEMA Flood Elevation Certificate is a standardized document of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
It serves as a tool to primarily document the elevation information of a home or building, whether existing or proposed, and serves to ensure compliance with local floodplain management ordinances.
FEMA Flood Elevation Certificates are used to underwrite the flood risk of a property and to determine the proper flood insurance premium rate.
Elevation Certificates are also part of the documentation required to request revisions to current FEMA Flood Panel Maps.
According to the Louisiana Administrative Code, a (Property) Boundary Survey is a survey, which after careful study, investigation, and evaluation of major factors influencing the location of boundaries, results in the deliberate location or relocation of the ground of one or more boundaries.
The primary purpose of this survey is to locate or relocate the physical position and extent of the boundaries of real property, and the discovery of visible evidence of prescriptive rights related thereto.
A "Builder's Package" refers to the collective group of surveys, related field work and certifications required to comply with the requirements of a lender, local building codes and floodplain management criteria.
By having all of the required work initially quoted as a "package", the combined cost of these services is less expensive.
Construction projects can range from new homes, additions to existing structures, and even include placing a new manufactured home or raising an existing home.
All of these projects require certain land surveying services along the way and Richmond W. Krebs & Associates, LLC, has the experience and expertise to successfully partner with our clients in any construction scenario.
A construction benchmark is the term used in reference to a benchmark established for construction sites and serves as an established or known elevation on a job site.
The elevation height of improvements on the site must be referenced off a set elevation, referred to as a benchmark.
The physical benchmark is normally located on a solid surface that will not be disturbed or vary throughout the project.
Common examples are a large nail driven in a wooden power pole or a surveyor's mark on a metal light pole.
