Foundation, Grade and Elevation Certificates
We provide form specific surveying services to satisfy your project or funding needs. An example of these forms includes FEMA flood elevation certificates, local government foundation or elevation certificates and other certifications based on project specific needs.

Base Mapping or Special Studies
We define base mapping as the preparation of a survey document, either electronic or on paper, that reflects the existing conditions and/or limitations of a parcel of land. These basemaps typically include many features such as topography, natural hazards, boundaries, adjoiners, utilities, ALTA components, or any other site specific feature a client may desire. Natural hazards may include survey information for special studies such as avalanches, floodways, wildlife overlays, or hillside slope analysis. We frequently engage task specific specialists for special studies and then provide the field and mapping support to make these studies documentable.
