How would you handle this?

I have a perspective client who contacted me for services.?ÿ ?ÿShe lives in Colorado and is looking to purchase land here in coastal North Carolina.?ÿ She has a map of a survey that was performed within the last 4 months.?ÿ This being coastal NC, there are both wetlands and flood areas on the map.?ÿ The wetlands were from a study that was conducted in 2005 when the subdivision was laid out.?ÿ ?ÿEither her builder or relator took a copy of the survey and "drew a box" somewhere in the middle of the lot as a hasty "site plan".?ÿ As it would happen, she didn't like the idea of a "not to scale" representation of her future home being arbitrarily drawn on a map, in the middle of the wetlands area.?ÿ So she wants me to produce a map using the existing survey, and adding a "to scale" building footprint to see if it can fit on the uplands area.?ÿ (this would circumvent the need of getting a costly soil scientist and wetlands delineator involved)?ÿ She also wants me to draw in the existing septic plan on the same map.?ÿ?ÿAs I see it, she really wants a map that is a compilation of 3 separate maps/plans.?ÿ ?ÿWhat would you call this??ÿ ?ÿIs this even a survey or just a bunch of CAD work??ÿ ?ÿI've constructed precise maps from various sources of accurate and highly precise information before, but never as a licensed surveyor.?ÿ?ÿ Thoughts?

Thank you!

I actually talked with the guys from the Wilmington office and they gave some guidance.?ÿ ?ÿI think I'll produce the site plan, depict the wetlands that were delineated in 2005, and conspicuously note the fact that 404 wetlands that are greater than 5 years old will need to be recertified.?ÿ?ÿ
