Services
Boundary Surveys
Boundary surveys establish property lines using legal descriptions and historical records. We set physical markers like iron rods or concrete monuments to define corners. Our surveys produce detailed plats for legal documentation, resolving disputes, or obtaining permits. With over 70 years of local experience, we ensure accuracy by cross-referencing historical data and using modern GPS technology. Clients receive sealed plats recognized by county authorities for official use.
Site Plans
Site plans detail existing and proposed conditions for construction projects, including structures, utilities, and topography. We create detailed proposals for residential and commercial developments, ensuring compliance with zoning laws and floodplain regulations. Our plans include drainage flows, wetlands, and traffic patterns when required. With decades of experience, we produce accurate, permit-ready documents tailored to client needs. Our surveys support building permits, subdivision approvals, and engineering projects in Maryland and Washington D.C.
GPS Surveying
GPS surveying uses advanced technology to collect precise geographic data for land development projects. We employ state-of-the-art equipment to map boundaries, elevation changes, and infrastructure with high accuracy. This method accelerates data collection for large or complex sites while maintaining compliance with industry standards. Our GPS services support ALTA surveys, construction staking, and topographic mapping. Clients benefit from faster turnaround times and detailed digital deliverables for engineering and design purposes.
Property Lines
Property line surveys identify exact boundary locations to resolve disputes or guide construction projects. We use historical records, county data, and GPS technology to locate markers from prior surveys. Our team sets new monuments when original markers are missing, ensuring legally recognized results. Clients receive detailed plats showing encroachments or easements. With decades of local expertise, we complete surveys quickly while maintaining compliance with Maryland and Washington D.C. regulations for legal or permit purposes.
Elevation Certificates
Elevation certificates verify a property's elevation relative to flood zones, required for flood insurance and building permits. We conduct precise measurements using GPS and leveling equipment to meet FEMA standards. Our surveys include detailed plats showing base flood elevations and structural features. This data ensures compliance with floodplain management regulations in flood-prone areas near water bodies. With local expertise, we expedite certifications for residential and commercial properties in Maryland and Washington D.C. Clients receive official sealed documents for insurance or permitting agencies.
