Boundary Surveys
Boundary surveys determine property lines by analyzing deed descriptions and historical records. We use modern technology to locate and mark boundaries, resolving disputes and ensuring legal compliance. Our surveys meet Massachusetts 250 CMR Section 6.00 standards for accuracy.
ALTA/NSPS Surveys
ALTA/NSPS surveys provide detailed commercial property analysis per title insurance requirements. We follow American Land Title Association guidelines to identify easements, encroachments, and zoning compliance, ensuring lenders and buyers have complete property insights.
Topographic Surveys
Topographic surveys map natural and man-made features, including elevations and contours. This data supports construction, drainage planning, and environmental assessments, delivered with high-precision measurements for engineering and development projects.
