What We Do — 02 / Surveying

We walk the property. Every corner accounted for.

ALTA, boundary, topographic, and construction-layout surveys for the developers, contractors, attorneys, and title companies who need certainty before a single foundation gets poured.

Our Discipline

Precision on the ground. Certainty on the record.

Every property has a line. Every project has a benchmark. We find both — and stake our reputation on getting them right.

Civil Southeast's licensed surveyors have logged tens of thousands of hours across Alabama and the Gulf Coast, using GPS control, robotic total stations, and UAV survey systems to establish boundaries, define elevations, and set the field control that every downstream trade depends on.

Whether it's the ALTA survey for a nine-figure mixed-use closing or the corner stakes on a family's homestead, the standard is the same: measured twice, drawn once, sealed by a licensed professional whose name is on the line.

What We Survey — 01 / 08

Eight survey types.
One signed and sealed standard.

01

ALTA / NSPS Land Title Surveys

The commercial closing standard. Every improvement, easement, and encroachment documented and drawn to Table A specifications — ready for the title company on day one.

02

Boundary Surveys

Where does your property actually end? We research the deed, walk the corners, and mark the line — legally, defensibly, permanently.

03

Topographic Surveys

The base map every civil engineer, architect, and landscape designer needs before the first line gets drawn. GPS-accurate elevations, contours, and existing conditions.

04

Construction Layout & Staking

From building corners to sewer inverts, we translate the plans into the dirt. On-site, on-time, and on-station — so the crew can build without guessing.

05

FEMA Elevation Certificates

Flood-zone certifications for insurance, permitting, and lending. Critical for anything built along the Gulf Coast, and turned around fast when your closing depends on it.

06

As-Built Surveys

Verification that what was built matches what was designed — and documentation for the property owner, the lender, and the record.

07

Subdivision Platting

Legal descriptions, lot layouts, and platting through recording. We handle the paperwork alongside the fieldwork, from preliminary plat through the courthouse.

08

Drone / UAV Aerial Surveys

Large-scale topographic and orthomosaic mapping delivered from the air. Faster, safer, and denser than ground-only methods on the right site.

Who We Serve

From title company closings to homestead corners.

Our licensed surveyors work with everyone who needs certainty about a line, an elevation, or a location. If it's on the ground, we can measure it — and defend the number when someone asks.
