Land Surveying in Houston, TX

Texas never went through the rectangular survey system, so a Houston boundary is a chain of metes and bounds calls running back through decades of deeds and, eventually, to a Spanish or Mexican land grant. That is why boundary work here is a research problem before it is a field problem, and why gaps, overlaps, and calls that do not close are common enough to be routine. We run the deed chain, set the corners, and produce boundary, topographic, ALTA, and construction staking surveys that survive title review. On the construction side, we stake building corners, utilities, and grades so the design lands where the plans said it would.

Metes-and-bounds boundaries, dense utility corridors, and Harris County plat and easement requirements make early survey work the cheapest way to avoid a redesign in Houston.

• 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
