Construction Surveying & Staking
A crucial part of any development project, construction surveying is
the process of translating construction plans into physical points on
the ground to form the basis for actual construction. Construction
surveying is a specialty within the field of land surveying and is
used for all manner of construction, ranging from hillside grading to
building layouts and public works improvements.

Staking services include:
Building Layouts
Staking of Caissons and Piles
Staking of Grading and Retaining Walls
Staking of Sewers, Storm Drains, & Utilities
Street Improvements
As-Built Surveys
Staking of Public Works Improvements
Monitoring and Observation
Surveying & Mapping
Surveying is the science of accurately determining the terrestrial or
three-dimensional position of points, and the angles and distances
between them. Surveyors use elements of geometry, engineering,
trigonometry, physics, and law. Surveying and Mapping are the
foundation which engineers, architects, and contractors rely on for
all subsequent stages of a development project. Surveys and Maps may
also be prepared independently of other construction work, for
example to mark property lines or to prepare a legal description and
exhibit for an easement or lot line adjustment.
