Collins Surveying & Mapping, Inc. has been providing Professional Land Surveying Services to the Ark-La-Tex area since 1979. We are licensed in Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana. We have two locations with a team of qualified personnel eager to help you with your surveying needs. We strive to maintain quality personnel of good character and stature. We use technical and practical expertise acquired from many years of experience to create the optimum plan for every job undertaken. We guarantee that our services will meet or exceed the minimum standards set by the State Boards of Land Surveying.
A Topographic Survey is considered the first step of a rigorous site investigation, providing a reference framework on which all subsequent investigation can be based. Rather than surveying the site in isolation our surveys are related to Ordnance Datum & National Grid co-ordinates. Project surveyors process their own data, gathered from site personally and create 2D or 3D drawings; we do not pass on to a CAD department to be edited by someone who has never seen your site. Sites are surveyed and priced on a daily basis with crews available for major utilities developments, residential or highway surveys, through to land undulation surveys for example to improve irrigation planning and environment agency requirements.
Construction staking from a residential home to a multi-million dollar project has been a viable part of our business. Accuracy and reliability are traits we take pride in. CSM, Inc. serves clients on a full range construction surveying assignments, including residential, commercial building and parking, highway, subdivision, utility and creek rehabilitation projects. We utilize the latest in GPS and Total Station technology and our support staff is incomparable. We pay special attention to the need to resolve the often unseen conflicts that can arise between highly specific regulatory requirements and more generalized but equally important design considerations, thereby helping our clients strike the balance necessary for success in the construction process.
Boundary surveying has and will always be a mainstay of the services offered by CSM. From a simple cutout, a family partition or a commercial development, CSM will be attentive to the details. A Boundary Survey is where we physically measure the property corners of the subject tract to determine location of boundary by either finding the original corners or setting new monumentation. This is also where we calculate acreage and provide a legal description for the subject tract that will identify the tract to the public.
