What You'll Receive

Commercial deliverables are built for design, due diligence, and construction workflows — coordinated with title, structured for CAD/BIM teams, and ready to integrate with your project documentation.

  • Signed and stamped survey deliverables prepared under the direction of a licensed California land surveyor
  • CAD files (DWG/DXF) developed following National CAD Standards, ready for Civil 3D, AutoCAD, and most architectural platforms
  • BIM-ready models (Revit) when scope includes Scan-to-BIM
  • Title coordination on ALTA surveys, with requested Table A items depicted
  • Construction staking exhibits and/or grade sheets (cut sheets) for construction layout work
  • Control networks tied to project requirements when needed
  • Orthophoto overlays on ALTA and topographic deliverables when applicable

Our Commercial Survey Process

Step 1 — Scope alignment

We confirm the deliverable, requested standards (ALTA Table A, agency, lender), CAD/BIM format, and project timeline with your team.

Step 2 — Records and title research

We review parcel records, prior surveys, and any title documentation provided. For ALTA work, we coordinate directly with title.

Step 3 — Field work

Our crew collects boundary evidence, topographic data, building features, or construction layout points using integrated methods (RTK GNSS, robotic total stations, 3D laser scanning, UAV).

Step 4 — Data processing & QA

We process field data, perform quality control, and prepare deliverables in your required format.

Step 5 — Delivery & coordination

Final deliverables go to your team with clear documentation. For ongoing projects, we remain available for clarifications, revisions, and follow-on scope.
