Learn moreWho we work for
One licensed surveyor for every stage of a property
A property usually needs more than one survey in its life: a boundary survey when it is bought or divided, a site plan and corner staking when a house is planned, a foundation and as-built survey while it is built, an elevation certificate for flood insurance. We do all of them – so you deal with one surveyor who already knows your land.
Homeowners & buyers
Boundary surveys before you buy, sell, refinance or fence; property line staking; lot splits; resurveys of old family land; FEMA elevation certificates.
Builders & contractors
Site plans for the building permit, house corner staking, construction layout, foundation and as-built surveys – staked from your plans with robotic instruments and GPS.
Lenders, engineers & agencies
ALTA/NSPS land title surveys for commercial closings, topographic surveys and drone data for design, surveys of public land and right-of-way.

Which survey do I need?
You probably need
Boundary Survey
Buyers want to know exactly what they are buying; sellers want the actual size and a more accurate value of their property. A boundary survey gives every party a detailed document to make informed decisions.
You probably need
Boundary Survey
If you suspect a neighbor is encroaching on your land – or you’re being accused of encroachment – a boundary survey settles it. It also settles easement disputes with utility companies or agencies.
You probably need
ALTA Surveys
Commercial purchases usually require an ALTA/NSPS survey by the lender. It reveals easements, encroachments and boundary issues before they derail the transaction.
You probably need
FEMA Elevation Certificate
An Elevation Certificate is needed to challenge a FEMA flood zone determination or to reduce your flood insurance premium. We usually complete our part of a flood study in 3 days.
You probably need
Topographic Surveys
Most construction projects start with a topographic survey. It shows slopes, contours, trees, utilities and improvements – everything needed for grading, drainage and design.
You probably need
House Corner Staking
House corner staking makes sure your new home is positioned exactly where it belongs on the lot. A site plan comes first, a foundation survey follows once the slab or footings are poured.
You probably need
Property Line Staking
Property line staking marks your lines in the field with stakes and flags every 50 feet or so – so the fence goes on your side of the line, not your neighbor’s.
You probably need
Resurvey
Old surveyors did not have computers, lasers, robotics or GPS. A resurvey re-establishes your corners and lines with today’s accuracy.
