Services
Boundary Surveys
We conduct detailed boundary surveys to establish property lines and resolve land disputes. Using advanced GPS technology and historical records, our licensed surveyors provide legally defensible documentation. Our services ensure compliance with Wisconsin regulations and help prevent future legal complications for property owners and developers.
Construction Staking
Our construction staking services precisely mark building locations and elevation points for development projects. Licensed professionals use digital instruments to translate design plans into physical markers. This ensures accurate placement of structures and infrastructure during residential, commercial, and municipal construction projects across Wisconsin.
Subdivision Platting
We create subdivision plats for residential, commercial, and agricultural developments. Our team prepares detailed maps showing property divisions, roadways, and utility locations according to local zoning laws. This service includes municipal coordination and documentation for official land record submissions.
PERC Testing
Our professional soil evaluations determine land suitability for septic systems through PERC testing. Certified technicians assess soil absorption rates and groundwater conditions following Wisconsin Department of Health standards. This service supports residential development and environmental compliance for rural properties.
Topographic Surveys
We perform detailed topographic mapping to identify natural and man-made land features. Using high-precision instruments, our surveys document elevation changes, vegetation, and structures. This data supports engineering plans, drainage analysis, and environmental impact assessments for various development projects.

Report
Signed a contract in July 2018, Survey approved my Municipality September 2018, April 2019 - still not complete. In the meantime we've made many trips, phone calls, emails, etc. and all they say - if they respond at all is "you've gotten it." We haven't.
