Services
Boundary Survey
Our boundary surveys precisely define property lines using iron rod markers and advanced measurement technology. This service prevents encroachments during fence installation, pool construction, or property improvements. We verify legal descriptions against physical markers to resolve disputes and ensure accurate land transactions. Our licensed surveyors deliver 100% accurate boundary determinations.
FEMA Elevation Certificate
We provide FEMA-certified elevation data required for flood insurance policies. Our surveyors use GPS and robotic total stations to measure structures against base flood elevations. This documentation ensures compliance with National Flood Insurance Program requirements and supports map amendment requests. Our certificates help clients obtain accurate insurance rates.
Subdivision Survey
Our subdivision surveys divide large parcels into smaller lots while meeting local government requirements. We design streets, drainage systems, and utility easements for residential and commercial developments. This service includes plat preparation and recording with county authorities. Our team ensures legal compliance for property partitioning projects.
Topographic Survey
We create detailed maps showing natural and man-made features for construction planning. Our topographic surveys include elevation data, utilities, and vegetation patterns. This information supports architectural designs and infrastructure development. We use aerial photography combined with field measurements for comprehensive site analysis.
Construction Layout
Our construction layout service marks precise building locations using stakeouts and reference points. We verify dimensions against approved plans to ensure proper placement of structures. This service guides contractors during foundation work and site development. We maintain accuracy within 0.02 feet for all layout projects.

These folks are the worst. Almost to the point where it's possible fraud. They took my $495 to come back out a 2nd time to add the meridian to my original survey done less than a year ago. That was a about a week+ ago and no email, no call to let me know when (or if) they are coming out. And of course their voice mail box doesn't accept messages. But they were quick to take my payment.so there is that. Avoid these people at all costs.

Buyer beware. I had a similar experience as other reviewers. If you want a survey done in months, not weeks, and enjoy daily follow ups with customer service hoping for progress, that is what you can expect here. The details: I ordered a survey for a new home purchase and paid upfront on the 18th of February. Survey was conducted on site on the 21st. 3 weeks later and the report is still not ready, my diligence period has expired, and daily calls to customer service are not helpful. At this point, I wish I had my money back.

It is now week 8, about 20 calls and 2 office visits, I am still being told someone will call me back at the end of the day with an update. My permits are now set to expire and everything is on hold after being told it would be completed in 2 weeks. Frustrated because I can't even get an answer and being continued to be told it will be ready tomorrow, which never comes. I now just want a refund. If anyone is in charge please Just return a phone call.

Report
The good news: they were very quick with scheduling and showed up as promised. The bad news: 1)they took longer than promised to produce the survey; 2) they said they mailed 5 copies to my house but they never arrived and I had to go the office to pick them up and 3) my contractor needed a digitally signed copy to submit to the city and it was like pulling teeth to get them to send it. Once the survey was complete and signed off, he called everyday and the excuse was always we're too busy. They didn't send the digitally signed document until 11 days after the survey had been signed off, and that was with constant badgering.
