Services
Boundary Survey
Our boundary surveys precisely determine property lines using state-mandated procedures. Licensed surveyors locate existing monuments, set new markers, and create official records required for building permits or property disputes. We ensure compliance with California's strict surveying standards while providing clear documentation for homeowners and developers.
Topographic Survey
We create detailed topographic maps showing natural and man-made features. Our surveys include elevations, utilities, trees, and structures to support construction planning. These comprehensive site analyses help architects and engineers design projects that align with existing terrain conditions and regulatory requirements.
Subdivision Planning
Our team prepares subdivision maps meeting local jurisdiction standards. We handle SB9 lot splits and other complex parcel divisions, ensuring compliance with municipal codes. From initial design to final map filing, we guide clients through the entire subdivision approval process.
Building Location Analysis
We accurately map existing structures relative to property boundaries for new construction projects. This critical service ensures proper placement of additions, ADUs, and new buildings while meeting local zoning requirements and preventing future encroachment issues.
Legal Descriptions
Our licensed surveyors create precise legal descriptions required for property transfers and development. We prepare detailed exhibits that meet county recorder standards, ensuring clear documentation for real estate transactions and boundary determinations.
