Surveying
We view surveying as the first vital step in the development and construction process. Errors in a survey can cause unnecessary delays or costs. It takes a skilled hand to compile the data that becomes the ultimate foundation of a development project or land transaction. Our survey department is made up of professional land surveyors, field technicians, and office support that employ robotic total stations, digital data collectors, GPS technology, and Autodesk Civil 3D.
Our survey clients include developers, attorneys, financial institutions, other engineering firms, public agencies, contractors, utility companies, and homeowners. We understand each client’s business is different and we are equipped to adapt to each project and client.
