What is Surveying?
The term surveying refers to the mapping and measurement of the sky, land, and sea. We work throughout the city of Long Beach, California regardless of the nature of the property. Our job is to identify the boundary lines of your home or property, and document the results.
What Does a Land Surveyor Do?
A licensed land surveyor will work in both the field and office depending on the specific task he or she is working on at a given time. When in the field, surveyors work with theodolites, terrestrial and aerial scanners, high order GPS, and other sophisticated field equipment to complete various types of surveys. We take images to support our evidence and make calculations along the way. We also rely on auto-CAD and other software solutions to make map measurements and to draft up plans.
We do more than work for residential and commercial developers; we also survey for major civil construction, tunnel building, and mining interests.
Not only do we measure the land as part of the home buyers survey, but we also serve as expert consultants to all kinds of Long Beach architects, engineers, and developers. We also regularly keep up with changes to property law and make sure to communicate the process as clearly as possible to clients.
