Services
Boundary Surveys
We conduct precise boundary surveys to establish property lines, corners, and easements using advanced GPS and traditional surveying methods. Our work ensures legal compliance and prevents future disputes by accurately mapping parcel dimensions. Clients receive detailed documentation for real estate transactions, development projects, or land disputes.
Construction Layout
Our construction layout services guide infrastructure development by marking precise locations for buildings, utilities, and roadways. We use robotic total stations and 3D modeling to ensure alignment with engineering plans. This service supports efficient grading, foundation work, and utility installation for commercial and residential projects.
ALTA Surveys
We perform ALTA/NSPS surveys meeting national standards for commercial property transactions. These detailed surveys include boundary verification, easements, improvements, and zoning compliance. Our reports help title companies and lenders assess property risks before issuing insurance policies or approving financing.
Drone Mapping
Our drone-based aerial mapping captures high-resolution topographic data for large sites. This technology provides cost-effective, rapid data collection for land development, environmental assessments, and construction monitoring. Clients receive georeferenced orthomosaics and 3D models for planning and analysis.
FEMA Flood Certifications
We determine property flood risk by analyzing elevation data against FEMA floodplain maps. These certifications are required for insurance compliance and building permits in flood-prone areas. Our reports help clients understand flood zone classifications and mitigation requirements.
