Commercial & Industrial Surveys
Our commercial and industrial surveying services address complex property requirements for refinancing, development, and compliance. We specialize in ALTA/NSPS standards with detailed attention to easements, setbacks, and title exceptions across five southeastern states. Our team delivers precise measurements and documentation for lenders, investors, and title examiners.
Residential Lot Surveys
We provide accurate boundary determination for residential properties, including monument placement and plat preparation. Our services help prevent boundary disputes and ensure compliance with local regulations while offering optional floodplain determination and line staking.
Large Acreage Surveys
Specializing in extensive land parcels, we employ GPS technology and efficient project management for timber tracts, mining sites, and conservation areas. Our methodology ensures precise boundary mapping for properties ranging from hundreds to thousands of acres.
Civil Design Services
Our civil design team handles subdivision planning, site development, and permitting with expertise in erosion control and stormwater management. We coordinate with engineering specialists to meet local zoning requirements and infrastructure needs.

We prepare FEMA-compliant elevation certificates for insurance rating and floodplain determination. Our services include LOMA application assistance to potentially remove structures from high-risk flood zones while maintaining compliance with federal regulations.

Questions
Why do I need a new survey if the seller already has one?
Previous surveys don't protect new owners due to contract law limitations and statute of limitations. Georgia's 6-year liability period often expires before new ownership issues arise.
What differentiates ALTA/NSPS surveys from standard boundary surveys?
ALTA surveys include title commitment review, higher precision standards, and optional Table A components meeting lender and title insurer requirements for commercial properties.
How do you handle large acreage timber tract surveys?
We use GPS technology and segmented project management with multiple crews to ensure accuracy and efficiency for tracts ranging from hundreds to thousands of acres.
Can you assist with flood insurance rating challenges?
Yes, we prepare elevation certificates and LOMA applications to potentially remove structures from flood hazard areas and reduce insurance costs.
What civil design services do you offer?
We provide site planning, subdivision design, erosion control plans, and permitting services supported by a network of engineering subconsultants.
