As property values in the Bay Area continue to rise, Tenancy in Common (TIC) arrangements have become a vital housing solution. At Golden Gate Surveying, we provide the precise floor plans and area calculations required to draft solid TIC agreements. We help owners clearly define exclusive-use areas, ensuring a smooth process for lenders, attorneys, and residents.
Exclusive Use Area Mapping: We accurately measure and delineate private living spaces, storage units, and parking stalls.
Common Area Identification: Clearly defining shared spaces to prevent future disputes.
Architectural Floor Plans: High-detail CAD drawings for legal documentation and interior planning.
The San Francisco building code is notoriously complex. We have deep experience navigating the requirements for multi-unit buildings in:
