Our boundary and subdivision services provide clear, legally defensible information about property ownership and land use. We perform boundary surveys, subdivision plats, Beachfront Management Act surveys, critical line surveys, and ocean and coastal resource management surveys, supported by thorough deed research and field verification. These surveys help define property limits, identify easements and encroachments, and support permitting, development, and coastal compliance. Every survey is prepared by licensed professionals and aligned with current local and state regulations.
Our commercial construction surveys provide the precision needed to keep complex projects on schedule and in compliance. Services include tree and topographic surveys, silt fence staking, stake-for-clear and disturbance limits, infrastructure staking, curb staking, and infrastructure as-built surveys. We work closely with contractors and engineers to translate design plans into accurate on-site layout. The result is reliable field data that supports construction, inspections, and final documentation.
We support residential construction projects from initial planning through final certification. Our residential services include tree and topographic surveys, staking for review and clearing, hub and tack, foundation surveys, finish floor elevation certificates, as-built surveys, and dock and bulkhead permitting. We work with national builders and local custom home builders alike, offering coordinated services and package pricing for efficiency. Each survey helps ensure accurate placement, code compliance, and smooth project progression.
Our ALTA/NSPS land title surveys meet the strict standards of the American Land Title Association and the National Society of Professional Surveyors. These surveys document property boundaries, improvements, easements, encroachments, and access, and are commonly required for commercial real estate transactions and title insurance. We provide precise legal descriptions and coordinate closely with attorneys, lenders, and title companies to ensure accuracy. The result is a comprehensive survey you can rely on for confident, informed decision-making.
Bathymetric surveys map underwater terrain to document depths, contours, and subsurface features beneath lakes, ponds, rivers, and coastal waters. Using specialized equipment and survey vessels, we collect accurate hydrographic data for engineering, environmental, and development needs. Our capabilities range from small retention ponds to large navigable waterways. These surveys support design, permitting, and planning where water depth and underwater conditions matter.
Our land management services help prepare, maintain, and enhance properties for development, access, and long-term use. We provide forestry mulching, bush hogging, grading, site clearing, and debris removal using experienced operators and specialized equipment. Our team is HOA-approved for work in communities such as Palmetto Bluff and other residential plantations. We also maintain roads, hunting land, and future development sites with efficiency and care.
The right survey depends on your goal. A boundary survey defines property lines, while construction staking guides building placement. If you’re buying commercial property, you may need an ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey. If you’re not sure, our team can help you determine the best fit for your needs.
Most residential surveys are completed within one to two weeks, depending on project size and complexity. Larger developments or ALTA surveys may take longer to allow for research, fieldwork, and mapping.
