Land surveyor · Birmingham, AL
Land surveying in Birmingham, AL
Randy spent years with engineering and contracting firms in Birmingham and Hoover before founding his own company. Today we bring that experience to boundary, ALTA, topographic and construction surveys across Jefferson County.
Birmingham experience, Clanton prices
Birmingham is where much of Randy’s career was built. He surveyed for Howell Engineering in Birmingham for 6 years, for ARD Contracting in Birmingham for 3 years and for Arrington Engineering & Surveying in Hoover for 6 years before he became a licensed Professional Land Surveyor and founded Alabama Surveying and Mapping. He knows the terrain, the records and the way engineering and construction projects run in the metro area.
Hills, ridges and drainage
Birmingham’s ridges and valleys – Red Mountain, Shades Mountain and the creeks between them – make elevations a big part of almost every project. Steep lots need careful topographic surveys for grading and drainage design, and properties along Village Creek, Valley Creek, the Cahaba River and their tributaries may need an elevation certificate for flood insurance.
Commercial and construction work
For contractors, we provide construction layout from rough grade staking to precise building corners and grid lines, plus as-built surveys along the way. For buyers and lenders, an ALTA/NSPS survey documents everything that affects a commercial property.
Records in Jefferson County
Jefferson County records its deeds and plats in Birmingham and at a separate Bessemer Division. Knowing where a parcel’s history is recorded is the first step of every boundary survey we do in the county.

Randy was quick and efficient. Even when he had to make a 2nd trip (becaue I didn't communicate correctly, lol) he did so. He gave me a fair price and they allowed me to communicate through text ..which I preferred. I highly recommend them!

Great experience. I deal with residential surveyors on a regular basis, but when I purchased a tract of land, Randy was recommended by the bank, and turned out to be very responsive, was able to do the job on a very tight schedule, and for a very reasonable price.
