Our Miami Land Surveying Services

Boundary & Property Line Surveys

Knowing exactly where your property begins and ends is critical in Miami, where zoning laws and lot sizes can vary block by block. Our boundary surveys help prevent disputes with neighbors and ensure you comply with local building codes before starting any project.

ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys

ALTA/NSPS surveys provide a full, lender-approved picture of your property, including easements, encroachments, and improvements. In Miami’s competitive real estate market, these surveys protect your investment and streamline closings by giving banks and title companies the data they need.

FEMA Elevation Certificates

Miami is in a flood-prone area, and FEMA Elevation Certificates are often required for insurance and permitting. We provide accurate elevation data so homeowners and developers can lower insurance premiums, meet city floodplain regulations, and design with confidence.

Topographic Mapping with GPS & Drone Technology

Our topographic surveys show the lay of the land—including slopes, drainage, and structures—using cutting-edge GPS and drone technology. This information is vital for Miami developers to plan grading, drainage systems, and site layouts efficiently.

Utility, Construction & Foundation Staking

We provide precise staking for utilities, building corners, and foundations to keep your project on schedule and within code. In Miami’s fast-moving construction environment, accurate staking minimizes costly mistakes and delays.

Subdivision Development Surveys

If you’re subdividing land in Miami-Dade County, our surveys ensure you meet all local regulations and produce clear plats for approval. We help developers maximize land value and speed up the permitting process.

Tower Surveys & Customized Mapping

We’re experienced in tower surveys (including FAA 2-C Certified) and customized mapping for unique or complex projects. This gives Miami developers and telecom companies the verified data they need to comply with safety regulations and plan expansions.

Mortgage and Lot Surveys

Buying or refinancing property in Miami? Our mortgage and lot surveys provide lenders and buyers with a clear snapshot of property boundaries, structures, and easements, reducing risk and avoiding future disputes.

Technology & Expertise

Our Miami team utilizes state-of-the-art GPS (Dual Frequency, RTK), robotics, LiDAR, and aerial mapping control surveys to ensure precise results. In the office, we use Autodesk AutoCAD and Carlson Survey systems for drafting and QA, producing highly accurate deliverables quickly and efficiently.
