Land Surveying in Atlanta, GA

Atlanta surveying spans a land-lot system unique to Georgia, terrain with genuine relief, and one of the country's busiest development pipelines. Boundary work resolves parcels against the original land-lot and district fabric plus a century and a half of subdivision; design topography captures Piedmont slopes and drainage that grading budgets depend on; and the construction side needs staking and control for towers, transit-adjacent infill, and logistics campuses alike. Services are provided project-by-project through professional land surveyors licensed in Georgia: boundary and ALTA surveys, design topos, construction staking with maintained control networks, and as-builts through closeout.

Georgia's land-lot and district system underlies every Atlanta boundary, and resolving modern parcels to the original lot lines, with their known distortions and lost corners, is the research core of careful boundary work here.

  • Boundary and title surveys for acquisition and permitting
  • Topographic surveys for civil design
  • Construction staking: building corners, utilities, paving, and grades
  • As-built surveys for closeout and conveyance

FAQ · Atlanta

What is the land-lot system and why does it matter?

Georgia's original survey divided land into districts and numbered lots, and every later parcel descends from those lines. Original corners are imperfect and sometimes lost, so competent boundary work traces the descent rather than accepting the most recent plat's assumption.

How do you keep control on a dense urban infill site?

Redundancy and protection: control set where construction will not destroy it, tied to the network beyond the site, checked on a schedule. Urban staking loses points constantly; the network is designed so losing points never means losing position.
