For Professional Land Surveyors
You closed out the job, sealed the drawing, and moved three projects down the queue. Then, weeks later, the lender’s counsel returns it: exception 14 in Schedule B-II — a recorded utility easement — is not plotted, and the loan cannot close until it is shown.
Now you are back in the file, or back in the field, doing work you already billed and will not bill again. The closing slips, the client is annoyed, and the reason it happened is that the title proforma and your draft were reconciled by someone else, after your seal was already on it.
It is rarely a competence problem. A proforma runs thirty-plus exceptions across dense recording references; matching every one against the drawing at deadline, by eye, is exactly where a single item slips through.
How it works
Reconcile the title commitment’s Schedule B against your survey draft yourself — the same check the lender’s attorney will run — while it is still cheap to fix.
Submit your draft ALTA/NSPS survey and the title commitment proforma as PDFs, before you sign and seal.
The engine maps each Schedule B-II exception to what is plotted, checks Table A completeness against the order, and verifies the certification block and legal-description conformance — flagging anything unmapped or inconsistent.
You get a cited gap list pointing to the exact exception and page. Plot the missing easement, correct the note, and issue it right the first time.
A returned survey is a double hit: hours you cannot re-bill, plus a delayed closing that costs you standing with the lender and the client who referred you.
A $39 pre-flight QA/QC pass reconciles the title commitment’s Schedule B on your survey before your seal goes on — so you protect your margin, your schedule, and your reputation in one step.
Frequently asked
It reconciles every Schedule B-II exception in the title commitment against what is plotted on your survey, verifies Table A completeness against the order, and checks the certification block and legal-description conformance — the same review the lender’s attorney will run.
Each recorded exception is matched to a plotted easement or encroachment on the drawing, and anything unmapped is flagged. Running this before you sign and seal prevents the unpaid re-work of a kicked-back survey.
Most often because a Schedule B-II exception — commonly a recorded easement — was not plotted, or a required Table A item or certification is missing. A pre-flight reconciliation catches these before issuance.
