Services
Construction Surveying
Our construction surveying services ensure precise layout and alignment for residential, commercial, and industrial projects. Using advanced tools like 3D laser scanning and GPS, we verify elevations, boundaries, and structural placements to maintain compliance with design plans. This service helps contractors avoid costly errors by providing real-time data for grading, foundation work, and infrastructure development.
UAS/Drone Mapping
UAS/drone mapping captures high-resolution aerial data to create detailed topographic maps and 3D models. This technology supports site analysis, progress monitoring, and disaster relief planning by offering georeferenced orthomosaics and point cloud models. It ensures accurate terrain visualization while minimizing field time and costs for large-scale projects.
Boundary Surveys
Boundary surveys establish legal property lines by analyzing deeds, historical records, and physical monuments. We identify easements, encroachments, and regulatory restrictions to prevent disputes during land transactions or development. Our surveys meet municipal requirements and are essential for subdivisions, mortgage approvals, and title insurance.
3D Laser Scanning
3D laser scanning generates precise 'point cloud' models of existing structures and sites. This technology supports as-built documentation, clash detection in BIM workflows, and retrofitting projects by capturing millions of data points. It ensures dimensional accuracy for architectural, engineering, and industrial applications.
Topographic Surveys
Topographic surveys map natural and man-made features, including elevations, vegetation, and utilities. These surveys inform drainage design, site development, and environmental assessments by providing detailed terrain data. They are critical for construction planning and regulatory permitting.
