Project Spotlight: Kings Point Beachfront Residence

The Challenge: High-Value Estates on Challenging Terrain
Located in the prestigious coastal neighborhood of Kings Point, this comprehensive survey encompassed a sprawling 7,788 sq. ft. estate. The project scope included a three-level main residence and a separate pool house, both featuring complex elements such as basements, expansive terraces, and intricate sea-facing rooms.
Project Highlights:
Estate Size: 7,788 sq. ft. survey area.
Structures: Three-level main house and separate pool house.
Key Features: Documentation of basements, terraces, and architectural details maximizing coastal views.
Renovating a beachfront estate in Kings Point, New York, is a high-stakes endeavor. Waterfront properties are governed by a complex web of FEMA regulations, local zoning ordinances, and environmental protections. For the Kings Point Beachfront Residence Project, knowing the exact elevation of the first floor and the precise distance of the structure from the high-water mark was a legal necessity, not just a design preference.
3D Site Plans & Topographic Integration
Most as-built providers focus solely on the interior. For Kings Point, ADS provided comprehensive building site plans. We used LiDAR to capture the "As-Is" condition of the entire property, including:
Topographic Data: Mapping the slopes and seawalls to assist with drainage and landscaping design.
Exterior Elevations: Documenting every window, door, and architectural detail to ensure the new renovation remained sympathetic to the original estate's character.
MEP Verification: Using MEP documentation to locate underground utilities and existing pool equipment lines.
Safeguarding the Coastal Investment
By providing a millimeter-accurate digital record, we empowered the homeowner and their legal team to move forward with the permitting process with total confidence. The accurate site plans ensured that the proposed expansion met all setback requirements, avoiding the costly and time-consuming variance process.

The Result: A beachfront masterpiece that stands as a model for coastal luxury and technical precision. By documenting the existing conditions accurately on Day 1, the project team avoided the "coastal surprises" that often plague waterfront renovations.
