Boundary Survey

A boundary survey is the cornerstone of land ownership, providing an authoritative delineation of property lines to prevent disputes, ensure compliance, and support informed decision-making. By combining historical deed research, field measurements, and modern technology (GPS, total stations), surveyors pinpoint exact corners and boundaries—marked with pins, monuments, or iron rods.

Topographic Survey

A topographic survey captures the precise elevation, contours, and physical features of a site—both natural (hills, trees, water bodies) and man-made (buildings, utilities, roads). Using advanced tools like drones, LiDAR, and GPS, surveyors create detailed 2D or 3D maps with contour lines and spot elevations. These surveys are indispensable for architects, engineers, and developers, providing the critical data needed for site design, drainage planning, and construction feasibility. Whether for a small residential project or large-scale infrastructure, a topographic survey ensures your plans are built on accurate, real-world conditions.

Construction & Layout

A construction layout survey translates blueprints into reality by precisely marking the planned locations of structures, roads, utilities, and other elements on the ground. Using advanced tools like total stations and GPS, surveyors stake out critical points—foundations, columns, pipelines—ensuring every detail aligns with engineering designs. This process minimizes errors, prevents costly rework, and keeps projects on schedule.

Utility & Right-of-Way

A utility survey identifies and maps subsurface infrastructure—such as gas lines, water pipes, electrical conduits, and fiber optics—to prevent costly strikes, delays, or safety hazards during excavation or construction. Using advanced techniques like ground-penetrating radar (GPR), electromagnetic locating, and GIS mapping, surveyors provide precise locations and depths of buried utilities, both active and abandoned.

Subdivision & Plotting

A subdivision survey is the critical first step in dividing a larger parcel of land into smaller, legally defined lots for residential, commercial, or industrial development. This process involves precise boundary delineation, road and utility planning, and adherence to local zoning and planning regulations. The final deliverable—a plat map—is a legally recorded document that establishes lot dimensions, easements, and public rights-of-way, ensuring compliance with municipal codes and future development clarity.

Floodplain & Elevation

A floodplain survey identifies whether a property lies within a designated flood hazard zone, while an elevation certificate provides precise measurements of a structure’s height relative to base flood levels. These surveys are critical for compliance with FEMA regulations, securing flood insurance, and mitigating potential damage from storms or rising waters.
