🔹 New Construction Layout

Our new construction layout services are critical to setting the foundation for any successful building project. We work closely with contractors, developers, and architects to accurately mark the position of:

  • Footings and foundation walls
  • Structural columns
  • Utilities and sewer lines
  • Driveways, sidewalks, and landscape features
  • Building corners and elevations

Using advanced total stations and GPS equipment, we ensure that the design plans are translated correctly onto the physical site—minimizing costly errors and construction delays.


🔹 Custom Land Surveying

No two properties are the same, which is why we offer custom land surveying services tailored to the specific needs of your site. Whether you're buying land, building, resolving a property dispute, or needing legal documentation, our surveys provide the precise information you need.

  • Boundary Surveys – Identify property lines and corners for legal and building purposes
  • Topographic Surveys – Map elevation and surface features for site planning
  • Subdivision Surveys – Divide land into parcels for development or sale
  • Easement & Right-of-Way Surveys – Establish access paths and utility rights
  • ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys – High-standard surveys for commercial real estate transactions

Every survey is completed with precision instruments and reviewed by licensed professionals to ensure compliance with local and industry regulations.


🔹 Site Plans

Our site plans are professionally drafted, engineer-quality documents used in planning, zoning, and permitting processes. Whether for residential, commercial, or municipal development, these detailed plans display:

  • Lot boundaries
  • Existing structures and proposed improvements
  • Driveways, drainage, and grading information
  • Easements and utilities
  • Zoning requirements and setbacks

We ensure each site plan meets local jurisdiction requirements, helping clients move efficiently through approval processes with cities, counties, or HOAs.

  • Accurate staking of foundation corners, walls, and columns
  • Elevation control for footings and slabs
  • Compliance checks with approved architectural and engineering plans
  • Marking of setbacks, height limits, and orientation
