Services
Boundary Surveys
Our boundary surveys establish precise property lines using historical records and modern measurement technologies. This service helps resolve disputes, support real estate transactions, and guide development projects. Clients receive detailed documentation that meets legal requirements for property descriptions.
Construction Layout
We provide accurate construction staking services that translate design plans into physical site markers. Our team uses advanced equipment to ensure proper placement of buildings, utilities, and infrastructure. This service includes ongoing monitoring to maintain alignment throughout the construction process.
Reality Capture
Our reality capture services use LiDAR and photogrammetry to create detailed 3D models of existing conditions. This technology supports clash detection, volume calculations, and as-built documentation. We deliver precise digital representations that integrate with GIS and CAD systems.
ILC Certificates
We prepare Improvement Location Certificates that identify potential property encroachments for real estate transactions. This service documents building locations relative to property boundaries and easements. While not full boundary surveys, ILCs provide essential information for financing and title insurance purposes.
FEMA Elevation
Our FEMA elevation certificates determine building elevations relative to flood risk levels. This service supports flood insurance requirements, mortgage approvals, and compliance with floodplain regulations. We provide detailed documentation that helps property owners understand and mitigate flood risks.

Flatirons has conducted multiple types of surveys at our property as we progress through the various Building Permit requirements for Boulder County. They are incredibly thorough and even called us to alert us when a couple of monument markers were inadvertently moved by others. Very professional and responsive--highly recommended!

You may want to consider more carefully who you hire. Unless you are ok with your employees making disparaging remarks to women on social media.

Report
I reached out to Flatiron for a quote on a ISP for my property and was disappointed with the entire interaction for a quote and ultimately went with someone else but want others to know so they aren't overpaying. 1) I had to followup a few times to get the quote after being told I'd receive it within 24 hours 2) When I did finally receive it, it was 3x (over $4,000) the other 2 quotes I received.
When I asked to clarify and for an itemized list so I could compare quotes and make sure the others weren't shorting me on something, I was told that's their best 'opinion' and no further details were given. It was pretty clear they didn't look at any documents I provided and just threw an unsubstantiated number out to see if I'd pay it.

Driving back home from work from Louisville to Longmont and one of your drivers is driving way past the speed limit, I understand we all want to head home but probably shouldn't be doing that with a car with your company logo on it super unprofessional and unsafe
