Services
Boundary Surveying
Our boundary surveying services precisely define property lines through deed research, GPS benchmarking, and physical monumentation. We examine historical records, road alignments, and easements to resolve disputes and establish legally defensible boundaries. Clients receive detailed maps documenting ownership limits and potential title discrepancies.
Topographic Mapping
We create detailed topographic maps showing ground contours, physical improvements, and natural features using 3D laser scanning and conventional survey methods. These maps serve as foundational data for construction projects, helping architects and engineers optimize site development while minimizing costs.
Land Subdivision
Our subdivision services guide clients through creating additional lots via short plats, long plats, or large lot divisions. We coordinate with local jurisdictions and provide necessary documentation for regulatory approval, ensuring compliance with zoning requirements and infrastructure standards.
FEMA Elevation Certificates
We prepare FEMA elevation certificates for flood insurance requirements by establishing benchmark elevations and measuring structural components. These certified documents help property owners obtain accurate insurance rates and meet building permit requirements for waterfront properties.
Construction Layout
Our construction layout services provide precise positioning for building foundations, utilities, and infrastructure using RTK-GPS and robotic total stations. We ensure proper alignment with design plans while maintaining tolerances appropriate for each project's specific requirements.
