Services
Boundary Surveys
Boundary surveys establish property lines using legal records and field measurements. Our process includes researching deeds, locating monuments, and setting markers to define ownership. This service ensures compliance with Arizona's minimum standards while resolving encroachment disputes for residential and commercial clients.
Aerial Drone Mapping
Our FAA-certified drone operations capture high-resolution topographic data. This technology enables cost-effective, large-scale mapping with 3D modeling capabilities. Applications include construction monitoring, mining operations, and GIS data collection across challenging terrains in the Southwest region.
Construction Staking
We provide precise staking for infrastructure and building projects using robotic and GPS technology. Our services ensure alignment with engineering plans for roads, utilities, and structures. Quality control measures identify potential errors before construction begins, preventing costly rework on projects like detention facilities and university buildings.
Topographic Mapping
Our topographic surveys document natural and man-made features using LiDAR and conventional methods. This data supports civil engineering design and land development by identifying drainage patterns and elevation changes. Deliverables include digital models and printed maps for projects ranging from urban planning to environmental restoration.
Land Development
We assist with zoning compliance, subdivision design, and permit processing for residential and commercial developments. Our local expertise navigates Arizona's regulatory landscape, ensuring projects meet municipal requirements. Services include utility mapping and right-of-way acquisition support for mixed-use and industrial developments.
