Land Surveys
GUIDA provides comprehensive land surveying services using traditional methods and modern technology to establish boundaries and map terrain. Our licensed professionals execute cadastral surveys, boundary analysis, and topographic mapping for property development and infrastructure projects. Utilizing GPS and robotic equipment, we ensure precise measurements to support construction, legal documentation, and land management needs across California.
UAV Services
Our FAA-certified UAV operations capture high-resolution imagery and geospatial data for efficient site analysis. Specializing in photogrammetry, we generate 3D models and orthophotos to support construction monitoring, volumetric calculations, and topographic surveys. This technology reduces field time by 40% while maintaining 2cm accuracy, providing cost-effective solutions for large-scale and complex projects requiring rapid data acquisition.
Right of Way Engineering
GUIDA delivers complete right-of-way engineering solutions including title research, boundary analysis, and acquisition mapping. We prepare legal descriptions, appraisal maps, and condemnation packages for public infrastructure projects. Our team's expertise in cadastral history ensures accurate land net surveys, facilitating property acquisition processes for transportation and utility clients across California's diverse regulatory environments.
GIS Solutions
We integrate advanced GIS technology with survey data to create comprehensive spatial databases for land and infrastructure management. Our specialists develop custom GIS platforms for storm drain systems, utility networks, and land parcel data, enhancing decision-making for public agencies and private developers. By merging traditional surveying with digital mapping, we deliver actionable insights for long-term asset management and project planning.
Geodetic Control Surveys
Our geodetic control surveys establish precise horizontal and vertical reference frameworks for large-scale projects. Using GNSS technology and NGS CORS networks, we create accurate datums that ensure consistency across multiple survey phases. These control networks support transportation infrastructure, utility corridors, and development projects requiring millimeter-level precision over expansive areas.

Report
Guida Surveying is a great company to work with, especially Tim Fettig in their Orange County office. We have used their services for over 10 years and I could not recommend them more!
