Services
Boundary Surveys
Our boundary surveys establish precise property lines through deed research and field measurements. We locate existing monuments, resolve encroachment issues, and provide certified documentation for legal transactions. This service helps property owners protect their land rights and plan improvements with confidence.
Topographic Surveys
We create detailed topographic maps showing natural and man-made features. Our surveys document elevations, water courses, and structures to support engineering and architectural projects. This data enables accurate site planning for residential developments and commercial construction.
Construction Staking
Our construction staking services translate design plans into physical markers on the ground. We provide precise location points for buildings, roads, and utilities to guide contractors during development. This ensures all improvements meet design specifications and zoning requirements.
ALTA/ACSM Surveys
We conduct ALTA/ACSM surveys meeting national standards for commercial real estate transactions. These comprehensive surveys identify boundary details, easements, and improvements to satisfy title insurance requirements. Our certified maps protect commercial property buyers from survey-related legal risks.
Elevation Certificates
Our elevation certificates determine property flood risk by measuring building elevations relative to flood zones. This FEMA-compliant documentation supports accurate flood insurance ratings and helps property owners understand their flood risk exposure.
