Construction.
Approved plans translated to precise positions on the ground.
Plans live on paper; buildings live on dirt. Construction surveying is the translation between them — setting the stakes and marks that put building corners, foundations, utilities and grades exactly where they were designed, and independently verifying critical work before it becomes permanent. Done in step with the schedule and documented on cut sheets, it keeps crews building the right thing the first time and gives the design team a record of what was actually set.
Who this is for
- General contractors mobilizing on residential and commercial jobs
- Grading, paving and utility subcontractors working to design surfaces
- Structural engineers verifying foundation and pile layout
- Owners and builders on custom and hillside projects
Common situations
- Rough grade, building corners or curb need line and grade
- A deep-foundation system needs tight-tolerance layout
- Formwork must be checked before a structural pour
- The schedule needs staking phased to each activity

Who asks for this
Construction — common questions
When should staking be scheduled?
Phase by phase, just before each activity: rough grade before mass grading, building corners before foundations, curb before concrete. We work from your construction schedule.
Why verify formwork before a pour?
Once concrete is placed, a position error becomes demolition. A form verification survey checks line, grade and dimensions in the window when a correction still costs minutes.
