Services
Boundary Surveying
We conduct precise boundary surveys to legally define property lines using historical records and modern GPS technology. Our process ensures compliance with state regulations while resolving disputes and preventing encroachments. Clients receive detailed documentation with physical markers for clear land demarcation.
Topographic Surveys
Our topographic surveys capture natural and man-made features to create detailed elevation models. This data supports construction planning, flood risk assessment, and land development projects with high-accuracy measurements and CAD-generated visualizations for informed decision-making.
Drone Surveying
Using drone technology, we collect aerial data for large-scale land assessments, offering faster data acquisition and 3D modeling capabilities. This method reduces field time while providing high-resolution imagery and elevation data for complex terrain and infrastructure projects.
Alta Surveys
We perform ALTA/NSPS surveys to meet national standards for commercial property transactions. These comprehensive surveys include boundary verification, easements, and improvements, ensuring title insurance requirements are satisfied with meticulous attention to legal and technical details.
Elevation Certificates
Our elevation certificates determine base flood elevations for FEMA compliance, supporting flood insurance requirements and mitigation planning. Surveys are conducted with precise leveling techniques to ensure accuracy for both residential and commercial properties in flood-prone areas.
