Services
Boundary Surveys
Our boundary surveys establish precise property lines using advanced GPS technology and historical records. With 30+ years of experience in Truckee-Tahoe and Reno areas, we resolve disputes and ensure compliance with local zoning regulations. Licensed surveyor Michael Miller personally oversees cadastral research and field measurements to deliver legally defensible documentation for real estate transactions.
Construction Staking
We provide accurate construction staking for residential and commercial developments using robotic total stations. Our services ensure proper building placement per approved plans, preventing costly rework. We maintain close coordination with contractors to verify grading, utilities, and structural elements meet municipal requirements throughout the building process.
ALTA/NSPS Surveys
Our ALTA/NSPS land title surveys meet strict banking and insurance standards for commercial properties. We document boundary lines, easements, and improvements with Table A item compliance. These detailed surveys support transactions involving apartment complexes, industrial sites, and solar farms, providing lenders and title companies with comprehensive risk assessments.
FEMA Elevation Certificates
We specialize in FEMA elevation certificates for properties in flood hazard areas. Our precise elevation measurements document building compliance with floodplain management regulations. We've successfully helped numerous homeowners obtain Letters of Map Amendment (LOMA) to eliminate mandatory flood insurance requirements through accurate topographic data submission.
Topographic Mapping
We create detailed topographic maps using aerial drones and conventional survey methods. These maps show natural and man-made features with elevation contours to support site design and engineering. Our digital deliverables integrate directly with CAD software for efficient grading plans, drainage analysis, and utility design across residential and commercial developments.
