Services
Boundary Surveys
Our boundary surveys establish precise property lines through court record research and field verification. We locate existing corners, fences, and structures while identifying encroachments. Clients receive a signed plat for official recordation with accurate corner markers set as needed.
Topographic Surveys
Topographic surveys capture elevation data and natural features using GPS or benchmark systems. We create detailed base maps with contour intervals tailored to project requirements. Deliverables include digital files and plotted plans for construction or land development purposes.
Construction Layout
Construction layout services ensure accurate foundation placement through property corner verification and stake-out points. We provide pre-construction control establishment, foundation pinning, and as-built documentation for compliance with local building regulations.
Division Surveys
Division surveys facilitate property splits through planning department coordination and legal documentation. Our process includes pre-division meetings, field verification of drain fields and structures, and preparation of plats for official approval and recording.
Physical Surveys
Physical surveys identify property improvements and encroachments for real estate transactions. We field-locate structures, utilities, and boundary features while providing plotted plats with corner markers to satisfy mortgage requirements.
