What is the survey process?
A preliminary phone conversation or meeting will allow us to get familiar with you and your project and determine what type of survey you need.  Additionally, we often perform an initial site visit to review field conditions at no cost to you, prior to developing a recommended scope of work.  We will submit a written proposal detailing our services and the estimated cost or not-to-exceed amount. Once you have reviewed and signed the proposed scope of work and fee schedule, and sent us a retainer, your job will be activated and put on our schedule.  

In advance of the scheduled site work, we will gather all agency maps and documents needed.  Our staff will review the information in the office and prepare any calculations or field process steps. Once at your property, our survey crew will begin working in the street, locating monuments that will help determine property lines. The remainder of their field time will be spent on your property gathering data.

Back in the office, the data collected will be downloaded and converted into an electronic file that will be processed and validated to generate a draft of your map.  Your map will be subjected to our internal review and quality control process before the final version is sent to you for review and approval.  We will provide stamped hard copies of your map, as well as an electronic file in both AutoCAD and Adobe PDF formats, to you and any others you designate.

If we are setting property corners, or performing certain other activities, a Record of Survey may be required.
