Services
Land Surveying
Our professional land surveyors execute boundary, ALTA, and construction surveys with precision. Using advanced equipment and decades of experience, we deliver certified documentation for property development, legal compliance, and infrastructure projects across Virginia. Our services support engineers, attorneys, and government agencies with accurate spatial data.
Aerial Mapping
We provide LiDAR-enabled aerial mapping for topographic analysis, tree canopy assessment, and as-built documentation. Our FAA-certified pilots capture high-resolution data to create detailed 3D models and imagery. This technology supports grading performance certification and construction monitoring for diverse clients.
Topographic Surveys
Our topographic surveys use drone and ground-based technology to map elevation changes and natural features. This data supports land development, environmental assessments, and infrastructure planning. Clients receive accurate digital terrain models and contour maps for project design and regulatory submissions.
Construction Surveys
We provide construction layout and monitoring services to ensure projects align with design specifications. Our team uses robotic total stations and GPS technology for precise grading verification and structural positioning. These surveys minimize rework and maintain compliance with local building codes.
LiDAR Mapping
Our LiDAR mapping services capture detailed point cloud data for complex land features and structures. This technology enables accurate volume calculations, vegetation analysis, and building modeling. Deliverables include DWG files and TIF imagery that support engineering, environmental, and urban planning applications.
