Services
Boundary Surveying
Our boundary surveying services combine title research, field investigation, and monumentation to establish property lines. We perform ALTA/ACSM surveys for commercial properties and mortgage inspection sketches for lending requirements. Our team resolves boundary disputes through historical deed analysis and physical evidence recovery, serving clients from individual landowners to government agencies.
Development Services
We provide topographic surveys and construction layout for residential and commercial developments. Our services include site design, environmental permitting, and subdivision planning. We coordinate with engineers and architects to prepare municipal submittals, handling projects from single-family home placements to large-scale retail developments and utility corridor mapping.
Municipal Services
Our municipal services include boundary retracement, tax mapping, and GIS base mapping for towns and cities. We create comprehensive plan maps showing zoning districts and wetlands, and establish control networks for municipal infrastructure projects. Our team has completed cemetery plots, road profiles, and coastal development plans for local governments.
Specialty Services
We offer hydrographic surveys, robotic surveying, and RTK stakeout services for unique applications. Our team performs accident site mapping, volume monitoring of landfills, and environmental site assessments. We adapt measurement technologies for challenging projects like dam deformation studies and cross-river elevation mapping.
Flood Elevation
Our flood elevation services determine property risk in coastal and inland water zones. We prepare FEMA-compliant elevation certificates and Letter of Map Amendments. With experience along Maine's coastlines and waterways, we support insurance requirements and floodplain management for hundreds of properties.
