Surveying in Pacific Palisades
Pacific Palisades presents some of the most distinctive surveying conditions in Los Angeles County. Coastal bluffs, steep hillside lots, view restrictions, and high-value residential properties all demand accurate survey work and clear communication with architects, designers, and contractors.
We serve the Palisades across the full range of residential and light commercial needs — from property line questions and ADU planning to new home construction, hillside design, and fire rebuild support.
Supporting Palisades Rebuild Projects
The Palisades rebuild community needs survey work that moves quickly without compromising accuracy. We’re actively supporting property owners, architects, and contractors on rebuild projects throughout the area.
For rebuild work, we typically support:
- Topographic and boundary base maps for architectural and civil design
- As-built documentation of remaining site features and improvements
- Construction staking as rebuild projects move into construction
- Building height verification and setback confirmation for redesigned homes
- Slope analysis for hillside lots affected by fire conditions
Pre-collected aerial data in some Palisades areas
We have collected UAV aerial imagery and data over portions of Pacific Palisades, and in some cases this can accelerate turnaround for rebuild projects in those covered areas. Coverage is not comprehensive, and we can’t assume your specific lot is included — contact us with the property address and we’ll confirm what we already have for your location before scoping the full survey.
