We help homeowners, builders, and lenders make informed decisions with accurate, timely residential land surveys. From property purchases to new home construction and improvements, our work clarifies boundaries, supports permitting, and keeps projects on schedule.
Raleigh-based and Serving Central and Eastern North Carolina, our field crews use modern GNSS, robotic total stations, and UAV imaging where appropriate to document current site conditions and verify what is on the ground. You get clear findings that reduce risk, prevent line disputes, and give designers and contractors the information they need.
Our goal is to scope the right survey for your situation, coordinate efficiently, and deliver decision-ready results for permitting, design, and closings.
Clear answers to common questions about our residential surveying services.
A Closing (boundary) survey to confirm property lines, locate visible improvements, and note potential encroachments before closing or refinancing.
Yes. A Boundary survey with corner marking and line flagging helps place the fence on your property and avoid line disputes.
Usually a boundary/topographic survey for permitting. Many jurisdictions and HOAs also require impervious surface calculations.
An EC documents building elevations relative to the local floodplain. Insurers, lenders, or permit offices request it for properties in or near flood zones or when adjusting flood insurance requirements.
Prior surveys and GIS maps are helpful references, but they aren’t a substitute for current field verification, especially for construction, fencing, or permitting.
Most new builds need boundary/topographic survey for design and construction layout/staking to place the house and site features correctly. If in a regulated area, impervious calculations may also be required.
