Services
Boundary Surveys
Our boundary surveys establish precise property lines using historical records and modern technology. We research deeds, locate monuments, and resolve encroachments for residential and commercial properties. Clients receive detailed maps and documentation for legal protection and development planning.
Topographic Mapping
We create detailed topographic maps showing natural and man-made features. Using total stations and GPS equipment, we capture elevation data for site planning and engineering design. Our maps meet ALTA/NSPS standards for accuracy and detail.
Construction Layout
Our construction surveys ensure accurate building placement and grading. We stake foundations, utilities, and infrastructure to match design plans. Regular verification checks maintain dimensional accuracy throughout the construction process.
ALTA/NSPS Surveys
We perform ALTA/NSPS land title surveys meeting national standards. These comprehensive surveys identify easements, improvements, and boundary conflicts for commercial transactions. Clients receive detailed reports for title insurance purposes.
FEMA Elevation Certificates
Our elevation certificates document building elevations for floodplain management. We measure structures relative to flood insurance rate maps to determine risk levels. These certificates help clients obtain accurate flood insurance rates.
