We have one full time crew and if necessary two crews.

staff has been with the company between 2-9 years.
We use up-to-date field equipment, which includes
total stations and GPS, and draft our maps in CAD.

survey projects in a most efficient way.
Highlights: We are proud of our reputation that has provided us with many clients especially the Los Angeles Unified School District (client since 1998) that selected us along with only a few other companies to provide all their Land Surveying needs for existing and proposed schools.
Our mission
is to provide a most professional product that will pave the way to a successful project and will bring pride to both our clients and us. We will invest all the necessary time and effort to achieve this goal.
