Preparing the Foundation for the Profitable Enjoyment of Land
Our vision of a specific site and how it can be shaped to best serve the needs of people is critical. For what we do before ground is broken will subtly influence the housing estate resident, the employee of an industrial park, executive campus, or hospital, the convenience store customer and mall shopper - as well as the indirect operating expenses of those who own or manage these facilities.
We are employed on new constructions and reconstructions. Our onsite services include land surveying; global positioning surveying and geographic information systems; wetlands impact studies, soils investigation and permeability testing; civil engineering design; inspections and complete project management, including contract administration and permitting.

GIS is a computerized method for creating and analyzing maps using digital data. GIS technology does more than create lines or figures on a screen or paper. It creates "smart maps," which can answer questions such as: Is there any vacant land within 2 miles of an interstate; what land uses are there along a proposed bus route; or which industries may contribute pollution to a wetland or river? GIS information can be a useful tool for the planning and development of residential, commercial, and municipal projects.
Spatial features in a GIS are stored in a coordinate system (latitude/longitude, state plane, UTM, etc.), which references a particular place on earth. Descriptive attributes in tabular form are associated with spatial features. Spatial data and associated attributes in the same coordinate system can be layered for mapping and analysis.
