Surveying for Alabaster and north Shelby County
Alabaster sits on I-65 in one of the fastest-growing parts of Shelby County, between Pelham, Helena, Calera and Montevallo. New neighborhoods, infill lots and commercial pads along the interstate and US-31 keep surveyors busy – and so do the older Siluria-area lots that were platted long before GPS.
Commercial and construction surveying
Commercial sites in Alabaster combine tight setbacks, access requirements and utilities. We did survey work for the Murphy Oil site in Alabaster, and we stake buildings, curbs, utilities and parking lots for contractors throughout Shelby County with robotic instruments and GPS. For a commercial purchase, an ALTA/NSPS land title survey shows the lender everything that could affect the property.
Records and permits in Shelby County
Deeds and plats for Alabaster are recorded with the Shelby County Probate Office in Columbiana; building permits go through the City of Alabaster. A site plan drawn from an accurate survey – with setbacks, easements and drainage – is what makes the permit go smoothly. After the slab is poured, a foundation survey confirms it is where the plan says.
Neighbors and fences
In established neighborhoods, the most common call is simple: “Where exactly is my line?” Property line staking marks it before a fence goes up, and a boundary survey settles a disagreement with a neighbor on paper.

Randy was quick and efficient. Even when he had to make a 2nd trip (becaue I didn't communicate correctly, lol) he did so. He gave me a fair price and they allowed me to communicate through text ..which I preferred. I highly recommend them!

Great experience. I deal with residential surveyors on a regular basis, but when I purchased a tract of land, Randy was recommended by the bank, and turned out to be very responsive, was able to do the job on a very tight schedule, and for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend him for any surveying you need.
