ALTA/NSPS Surveys
Our ALTA/NSPS land surveys provide comprehensive property documentation meeting national standards. These detailed surveys identify boundaries, easements, improvements, and legal encumbrances essential for real estate transactions. Professional surveyors combine GPS technology with field verification to ensure mortgage lenders and title companies receive accurate plat information.
Topographic Mapping
We create detailed topographic maps showing natural and man-made land features. Our surveys document elevation changes, vegetation, utilities, and structures using advanced surveying equipment. These maps help engineers and architects plan construction and land development projects with precise terrain data.
Construction Surveys
Our construction surveys establish accurate project boundaries and elevation benchmarks for new developments. Surveyors use GPS and robotic instruments to mark building corners, utilities, and infrastructure. This ensures compliance with site plans and building codes throughout the construction process.
Boundary Surveys
We conduct boundary surveys to determine exact property lines and legal descriptions. Our team researches historical records and performs field measurements to identify encroachments and easements. These surveys help resolve disputes and prevent future legal issues during property transactions.
GPS Surveys
Our GPS surveying services provide high-accuracy position data for large-scale projects. Using satellite technology, we collect precise coordinate information for land parcels, infrastructure projects, and environmental studies. These surveys integrate with digital mapping systems for engineering and planning purposes.
