Services
Boundary Surveys
Boundary Surveys determine property lines by analyzing historical records, field measurements, and legal documents. Our team ensures compliance with Connecticut's zoning and setback requirements, providing clear documentation to prevent disputes. Clients rely on our expertise for residential, commercial, and industrial projects.
3D Laser Scanning
3D Laser Scanning captures detailed spatial data using high-speed scanners, creating precise 'point clouds' for architectural and engineering projects. This technology reduces site visits and accelerates drafting, enabling accurate 3D models for construction and historical documentation.
Elevation Certificates
Elevation Certificates assess a structure's flood risk by measuring its elevation relative to FEMA floodplain maps. These certificates are essential for securing affordable flood insurance and ensuring compliance with federal regulations for properties in high-risk areas.
Storm Water System Design
Storm Water System Design addresses surface flow and drainage challenges by implementing Best Management Practices (BMPs). Our engineers evaluate environmental factors to create sustainable systems that mitigate flooding and comply with Connecticut's environmental regulations.
Permitting Services
Permitting Services streamline approvals from local and state agencies, including wetlands, zoning, and transportation departments. Our experience ensures compliance with Connecticut's complex regulatory landscape, minimizing delays and facilitating timely project execution.

Service beyond my wildest expectations and Down to earth friendly professional. Quality class act. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Call him soon because I told him that he works cheap. I needed a survey it was done in a week. The results contradicted the lay of the land ( buildings) causing a lot more work and headache for the land owners. He uncovered a 140 year old mistake. Whodda thunk. You wouldn't believe how well he dealt with it and us. Truly a rare find. Seriously good people. God Bless them all. ( I just hate to give away my secret squirrel ID ) PS.

Adam Hoffman did an outstanding job. I needed the work to be done quickly and he responded immediately. I needed the end product to be totally professional in all respects and it was. The building official was entirely satisfied. I was hoping that the fee wouldn't be exorbitant even though I made it clear I needed it done very quickly, and the fee was less than I had expected. Adam was friendly and understanding and smart and confidence-inspiring.
