While land surveying may sound like a self-explanatory profession, there are actually many different types of surveys that can be performed. A memorial fund has been setup for a young land surveyor who recently lost his life while on the job. If you own or manage a commercial business, farm, or any other type of property, you may be wondering exactly how you could benefit from aerial photography services. It's no surprise to hear that drones being used for commercial use such as with land surveying has largely been restricted or banned, especially in high air traffic areas like major cities.

Since 1946 we have been dedicated to providing high quality professional land information services in surveying and photogrammetry. Our headquarters are in Theresa, NY where Aziel LaFave founded the practice. A second office was then established in Boonville, NY in 1969. Our company is represented by Robert Busler, L.S., who is the President. We provide all of our professional services for the people throughout New York State, but will work across state lines as needed. Our dedicated staff of professionals includes 4 licensed land surveyors, a certified photogrammetrist (ASPRS), party chiefs, survey technicians, photogrammetric stereo compilers, CAD/CAM/GIS Map editing technicians and office support personnel.

Land surveying can be useful for a wide variety of reasons, including during a property sale before the title is transferred from one owner to the next. Just like almost any other job, land surveying has rapidly evolved over the past several decades due to new technological advances. Whether you intend to purchase new land or you have plans to build on property you already own, there are several reasons why you may need a land survey. But just why is getting one so important? Every year new technology is introduced that has the potential to shape and change the aerial mapping industry in significant ways.
