Boundary Retracement Surveys
Our boundary retracement surveys precisely re-establish property lines using historical records and modern GPS technology. We combine legal research with physical evidence to resolve disputes and clarify ownership boundaries. Clients receive detailed documentation suitable for legal proceedings and property transactions.
Topographic Surveys
We create detailed topographic maps showing natural and man-made features with elevation data. Our surveys support construction planning, land development, and environmental assessments. Using advanced equipment, we deliver accurate 3D representations of property terrain for engineering and architectural purposes.
Boundary Dispute Resolution
Our team provides expert boundary dispute resolution through precise measurements and legal documentation. With courtroom experience, we prepare defensible evidence for litigation. We analyze historical records and physical markers to establish clear boundary determinations for property owners and legal professionals.
ALTA/ACSM Surveys
We conduct ALTA/ACSM land title surveys meeting national standards for commercial property transactions. These comprehensive surveys identify easements, encroachments, and legal boundary issues. Our detailed maps satisfy lender requirements and provide critical information for real estate closings.
