Timeline

Residential boundary 7 to 12 business days from the field date. ALTA surveys run 3 to 5 weeks.

You supply

Parcel number, current deed, and for ALTA work the title commitment with exception documents. Access, and a gate code if there is one.

One-foot contour topography with utilities, trees, structures and drainage features, plus route and corridor surveys for roads, pipelines and rail. Flown or walked, depending on cover.

Deliverables

DWG drawing, LandXML surface, PDF sheets, and a field book scan if the engineer wants it.

Timeline

5 to 10 business days for sites under 20 acres. Corridors are quoted by the mile.

You supply

Limits of the survey, the datum you want (NAVD88 unless told otherwise), and any engineer's CAD base.

Lot corners, curb and gutter, sewer and water lines, building pads and grade stakes. Three crews stake daily from March through November, and we keep a winter crew for frozen-ground layout.

Deliverables

Marked stakes with cut sheets, a staking report, and as-built verification on request.

Timeline

48 hours notice for routine staking. Same-week for urgent calls to the field line.

You supply

Approved plans and CAD files, access, and a call before you disturb the stakes. Re-staking after disturbance is billed hourly.

Preliminary and final plats, lot line adjustments, condominium plats, and the county and city submittals that go with them. We have platted in Ada, Canyon, Elmore, Owyhee, Gem and Valley counties.

Deliverables

Final plat on mylar and PDF, monuments set, closure calculations, and a recorded instrument number.

Timeline

Final plat preparation 4 to 8 weeks, then the jurisdiction's own review time.

You supply

Approved preliminary plat, conditions of approval, and a current title report.

Grading plans, retention and infiltration design, erosion and sediment control, and the drainage report that goes to the reviewer. Designed to Ada County Highway District and Idaho DEQ criteria.

Deliverables

Stamped plan set, drainage calculations, SWPPP, and review responses until sign-off.

Timeline

4 to 10 weeks depending on site size and agency queue.

You supply

A survey (ours or yours), the geotechnical report, and a site program that will not change next week.

Local streets and subdivision roadways, water and sewer extensions, pressure irrigation, and the plan and profile sheets that highway districts and cities require.

Deliverables

Plan and profile sheets, specifications, quantity take-offs and an engineer's cost estimate.

Timeline

6 to 14 weeks. Agency submittals add 3 to 6.

You supply

Preliminary plat or site plan, utility locates, and the agency's standard details if they are not public.

Orthomosaics at one-inch pixels, point clouds, contours and stockpile volumes, tied to surveyed ground control. Two FAA-licensed pilots and three aircraft, one carrying RTK.

Deliverables

GeoTIFF orthophoto, LAS point cloud, surface model, and a volume report with the method stated.

Timeline

Flight within 5 working days, weather permitting. Deliverables 3 to 5 days after flight.

You supply

Site access, stockpile limits, and notice if you are inside controlled airspace near the Boise airport.

Canal and lateral realignment surveys, ditch easements, headgate and culvert mapping, and drainage studies. A group of three engineers and two survey techs who work on the irrigation calendar.

Deliverables

As-built and design surveys of ditches and structures, hydraulic analysis, plans, and easement descriptions.

Timeline

3 to 12 weeks, scheduled around the winter shutdown window.

You supply

District records and easements, the shutdown dates, and a contact at the district who can authorize access.
