Services
Land Surveying
Our land surveying services provide precise boundary determinations using deeds and documented records. We specialize in resolving property disputes, supporting real estate transactions, and ensuring compliance with legal standards. Clients rely on our expertise for accurate measurements that inform construction, zoning, and land development projects across the Carolinas.
Construction Stakeout
We translate architectural and engineering plans into physical markers on the ground using advanced GPS and CAD technology. Our team ensures precise placement of buildings, roads, and utilities during construction. This service guarantees alignment with design specifications, minimizing costly errors and delays for commercial and residential developments.
Drone Surveys
Our drone surveys create high-resolution orthomosaic images and 3D models for topographic analysis, asset mapping, and volumetric calculations. This technology enables efficient data collection for large sites like industrial complexes and solar farms. Clients benefit from faster turnaround times and detailed spatial insights for planning and monitoring projects.
ALTA Surveys
We conduct ALTA/NSPS surveys to meet strict lending institution requirements, including boundary verification and title insurance documentation. Our process involves reviewing deeds, easements, and encroachments to produce comprehensive maps. These surveys are critical for commercial property transactions and risk mitigation in real estate deals.
Topographic Surveys
Our topographic surveys capture natural and man-made features, including elevations, contours, and drainage patterns. This data supports site design, erosion control, and infrastructure planning. Clients use these surveys for residential subdivisions, road construction, and environmental assessments requiring detailed terrain analysis.
