Services
Boundary Surveys
Our boundary surveys precisely determine property lines through deed research and monument verification. This essential service protects property owners by providing legally defensible documentation of land ownership boundaries according to Washington State regulations. We deliver detailed maps and physical markers to clearly define your property's limits.
Topographic Surveys
Topographic surveys capture detailed elevation data and surface features for residential and commercial properties. This information supports architectural design, construction planning, and environmental assessments by creating accurate representations of existing site conditions including contours, structures, and natural features.
Construction Staking
Our construction staking services guide development projects with precise physical markers for foundations, utilities, and infrastructure. This ensures builders follow approved plans accurately, preventing costly errors during construction while maintaining compliance with local zoning and building regulations.
ALTA/NSPS Surveys
ALTA/NSPS surveys meet national standards for commercial property transactions. These comprehensive surveys identify boundary details, easements, and improvements to support title insurance requirements. Our team follows standardized procedures to deliver detailed maps and reports for real estate professionals and lenders.
Record of Surveys
Record of Surveys documents boundary determinations through official filings with county authorities. This legally binding process involves thorough research, field verification, and professional certification to create permanent public records of property boundaries and related survey findings.

Surveyors are very busy these days, Eileen took time to understand my need and worked it into her busy schedule. After survey, she spent time to review the survey with me and provided guidance; her office team is very effective as well. Thank you, Eileen!
