SURVEYING
Surveying is critical to ensuring your projects meet legal obligations, most importantly before the purchase of acreage or development. By keeping up with the latest state-of-the-art surveying equipment, we are able to obtain field data in the shortest practical time. Our surveyors locate utilities, buildings, fences, right-of-ways, encroachments, and other evidence of possession. They also advise you if there is a defect in your property description, mark and record your property corners for ease of reference, assist in planning and sub-dividing your property, and have the ability to write legal descriptions when land is to be divided. Our 45 plus years of surveying expertise ensures your next project is done right from the beginning.
