Services
Boundary Survey
Our boundary surveys precisely define property lines using historical records and field measurements. This service helps prevent disputes when installing fences or developing land. Clients receive accurate boundary determinations that comply with local regulations and professional standards.
Certificate of Survey
This comprehensive service documents property boundaries, structures, and topographical features. Ideal for property development or sales, it includes detailed measurements of buildings, setbacks, and drainage patterns. The resulting plat provides legal documentation for municipal submissions and property transactions.
Elevation Certificate
We provide elevation certificates to determine flood zone status for insurance requirements. This service includes precise elevation measurements relative to floodplain data. The certificate helps property owners secure accurate flood insurance coverage and comply with federal regulations.
Tree Preservation Plan
Our tree preservation plans document significant trees on properties undergoing development. The service includes location mapping and diameter measurements for trees over six inches. This documentation helps maintain compliance with local environmental regulations and protects valuable landscaping assets.
Construction Staking
We provide precise staking for building foundations, utilities, and infrastructure projects. This service ensures construction aligns with approved plans and zoning requirements. Our staking services support accurate grading and proper placement of structures during development.
