ANSWER:
We require an AutoCAD (DWG) version of your property survey because accurate zoning analysis depends on precise, scalable data.
Zoning compliance in New Jersey is highly dimensional.
Setbacks, lot coverage, building envelope, and impervious coverage calculations must be evaluated to the inch, not estimated from scanned PDFs or photos.
An AutoCAD survey allows us to overlay proposed construction accurately, test multiple scenarios, and identify zoning constraints early, before design or permitting costs escalate. This level of precision significantly reduces the risk of zoning violations, redesigns, or delays during municipal review.
