Services
Boundary Survey
A Boundary Survey establishes property perimeters using legal descriptions. We combine historical records, physical evidence, and legal principles to resolve disputes and provide court-defensible maps. Our process ensures clarity for property transactions, setbacks, and easements, delivering precise, legally compliant results.
FEMA Elevation Certificates
FEMA Elevation Certificates verify building elevations in flood zones. We document compliance with floodplain regulations, enabling clients to secure flood insurance. Our surveys meet FEMA standards, ensuring accurate elevation data for new constructions or substantial improvements in Special Flood Hazard Areas.
Topographic Surveys
Topographic Surveys map natural and man-made features with elevation data. We create detailed 3D representations of properties, aiding construction, land development, and environmental assessments. Clients receive comprehensive maps showing terrain variations, structures, and vegetation for informed decision-making.
Construction Layout
Construction Layout Surveys stake building elements from blueprints. We mark locations for structures, utilities, and infrastructure to guide contractors. Our precise fieldwork ensures alignment with design plans, minimizing errors during construction phases for residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects.
Control Networks
Control Network Surveys establish precise coordinate frameworks for projects. We create localized or national grid systems to support design and construction accuracy. These networks serve as foundational references for large-scale developments, ensuring consistency across multiple surveying and engineering tasks.
