FAQ · Des Moines
What is the difference between a boundary and a topographic survey?
A boundary survey establishes legal property lines and corners; a topographic survey maps existing grades and features inside them. Most development projects need both, and they are cheaper ordered together.
How far in advance should construction staking be scheduled?
Two to three business days of notice is typical for staking mobilizations; large or phased sites are scheduled as standing weekly visits.
