Services
Land Title Surveys
We conduct ALTA/ACSM and TSPS-compliant land title surveys for commercial, industrial, and residential properties. Our surveys identify boundary lines, easements, and encroachments using advanced equipment and public record research. Clients receive detailed documentation to support property transactions and development projects.
Topographical Surveys
Our topographic surveys map natural and man-made features for construction, land development, and environmental assessments. Using GPS and LiDAR technology, we create precise elevation models and volume calculations. Data supports engineering design and site planning for projects across Texas.
Construction Staking
We provide construction layout services for residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects. Our TXDOT-certified team marks precise locations for foundations, utilities, and roadways using robotic total stations. Services ensure compliance with design plans and building codes.
Drone Surveying
Our FAA-licensed pilots use drones to capture aerial data for 2D/3D mapping and volumetric analysis. This technology reduces field time while accessing hard-to-reach areas. Applications include site monitoring, floodplain mapping, and as-built documentation for energy and development projects.
Flood Certificates
We prepare FEMA-compliant flood insurance rate maps and elevation certificates for pre- and post-construction projects. Our documentation helps determine flood risk zones and insurance requirements. Services support compliance with local regulations and mortgage lending standards.
