Also called: terrestrial laser scanning, lidar survey, point cloud, 3d scan, or reality capture.

• Facilities & renovations
• Bridges & infrastructure
• Large or complex sites

Survey-grade mapping of large or hard-to-reach areas from aerial imagery or LiDAR. We plan the project, survey the ground control, and produce the final drawings.

Also called: drone survey, uav mapping, photogrammetry, aerial survey, or aerial lidar.

• Large tracts & acreage
• Earthwork & stockpiles
• Corridor & site planning

Establishes precise, permanent reference points tied to state and national coordinate systems, so every survey, drone flight, and design lines up.

Also called: control survey, geodetic survey, gnss / gps control, benchmarks, or ground control points.

• Large construction projects
• Drone & aerial mapping

Determines and maps the limits of roads, easements, and utility corridors, and the parcels along them.

Also called: r/w survey, right-of-way mapping, easement survey, route survey, or corridor survey.

Also called: utility mapping, utility designation, utility test holes, or vacuum excavation.

• Road & utility design
• Pre-construction planning
• Reducing excavation risk

A FEMA form that records how high your building sits relative to local flood risk. Used for flood insurance rating and floodplain building permits.

Also called: flood elevation certificate, fema elevation certificate, or flood survey.

• Flood insurance
• Floodplain permits
• Building in a flood zone

Lays out the division of land into lots, roads, and easements, and prepares the plat for county review, approval, and recording.

Also called: lot split, plat, replat, or land division.

• Splitting a parcel
• Family lot divisions
• Residential developments

Transfers the approved design from the plans to the ground — marking exactly where buildings, roads, utilities, and grades should be built.

Also called: stakeout, building layout, grade stakes, or construction stakes.

• Building foundations
• Roads & utilities
• Site grading

Verifies the location and elevation of foundation forms or a poured slab before vertical construction — often required by the building department.

Also called: form board survey, foundation location survey, slab survey, or forms survey.

• Building permits
• Setback verification
• Flood-zone construction

Documents what was actually constructed — the final location and elevation of improvements — to verify compliance and complete permits or project closeout.

Also called: final survey, record survey, or as-built drawing.

• Final inspections
• Certificates of occupancy
• Project closeout
