Today, we continue Dan's commitment to quality, affordability, and community service. With over 30 combined years of experience, we specialize in precise land, elevation, and site planning surveys using modern GPS technology.Our team includes licensed professionals in Wisconsin and Minnesota, and we remain proud members of the Wisconsin Society of Land Surveyors.

Services
Land Surveying
Burt Surveying provides comprehensive land boundary determination services using modern GPS technology. Our certified professionals accurately establish property lines, resolve boundary disputes, and create detailed legal descriptions. We follow strict state standards while maintaining personal client communication throughout the process.
Elevation Surveying
Our elevation surveying services precisely measure land contours and building elevations. This critical data helps property owners eliminate unnecessary flood insurance costs through FEMA Letter of Map Amendments while ensuring compliance with local zoning regulations and development requirements.
ALTA Surveys
We conduct comprehensive ALTA/ACSM surveys that meet national standards for property boundary verification. These detailed surveys identify easements, encroachments, and right-of-way issues while providing title companies and lenders with the information needed to issue title insurance policies.
GPS Mapping
Our GPS technology enables efficient and accurate property mapping with reduced field time. This advanced system maintains consistent precision across large properties without compounding measurement errors, providing clients cost savings and improved data reliability.
Site Planning
We support construction and development projects with precise site planning surveys. Our team creates detailed topographic maps, establishes grading plans, and provides construction staking services that guide development while maintaining legal compliance and boundary integrity.
