What we can do

Boundary surveys formally define the boundaries of a tract of land. They can help resolve a property line dispute and define the location of rights-of-way, easements, and setbacks. Publicly recorded surveys are a valuable legal document that benefit the landowner, neighbors, and other surveyors.

A type of survey that includes a detailed analysis of the exterior boundaries of a tract of land to be divided into 2 or more pieces that shows the layout of the interior of the tracts, access, easements, etc. They are referred to as “plats”, called long- or short-plats in WA, and includes condo plats.

2D and 3D mapping of existing structures, utilites, and surfaces “as they were built” and what the ground topography looks like for use by engineers and architects in the design and planning process whether it be for demolition, new construction, or additions to an existing structure. They are for any project where you need to know what’s already there.

FEMA certificates, ALTAs, transportation design projects, and more are a combination of boundary, as-built, topography, and legal descriptions. They frequently require specific horizontal and vertical datums, high levels of precision, and in-depth research into known, and potentially unknown, encumbrances on a tract of land.

Often a part of a larger project, legal descriptions are frequently accompanied by map exhibits for boundary/property line adjustments, boundary line agreements, right-of-way takes, leases, and easements.

Laying out the location of setbacks, buildings, roads, utilities, and the ground elevations to ensure the proper location and grading. Monitoring involves tracking the 3D movement of an object over a period of time- usually to make sure it doesn’t move.
