Boundary Surveys
Boundary Surveys establish precise property lines through advanced measurement techniques and historical research. Our team identifies easements, encroachments, and boundary markers to resolve disputes and support real estate transactions. Clients benefit from legally defensible documentation that meets state-specific standards for land development and ownership verification.
Construction Layout
Construction Layout services ensure accurate implementation of design plans through precise field marking of structures and utilities. We utilize robotic total stations and GPS technology to guide grading, foundation placement, and infrastructure development. This service minimizes costly errors while maintaining compliance with municipal regulations and project specifications.
Reality Capture
Reality Capture employs LiDAR and photogrammetry to create detailed 3D models of existing environments. Our FAA-certified pilots collect aerial data while terrestrial scanners capture ground-level details for comprehensive spatial analysis. This technology supports clash detection, volume calculations, and as-built documentation across construction and environmental projects.
Design Surveys
Design Surveys provide topographic data and site analysis for infrastructure planning and development. We combine elevation certificates, utility mapping, and ALTA standards to create foundational datasets for architects and engineers. These surveys ensure regulatory compliance while optimizing design efficiency for commercial and residential projects.
Residential Services
Residential Services include improvement location certificates, legal descriptions, and FEMA elevation certifications for property transactions and renovations. Our team addresses floodplain requirements, setback verifications, and boundary concerns specific to single-family and multi-family developments.
