South Texas Surveying specializes in Construction Staking and Site Layout Surveys. Our role is to precisely interpret construction plans, transforming them into physical reference points on the ground. This preparation is vital for accurately locating various project elements such as building corners, building envelopes, driveways, drainage structures, and other key improvements before the commencement of your construction project.

What is Construction Staking and Site Layout?

Construction Staking and Site Layout involve marking the ground to provide a 'blueprint' for construction, ensuring that all elements are correctly positioned according to the project's plans.

Why is Construction Staking Important?

Construction staking is integral to new construction plans in order to prevent costly mistakes. While you may have a general contractor for your construction project, there are often times you will need a third party contractor to come in for drainage or electrical.

What is a Site Layout Survey?

Predominantly utilized for commercial construction, construction staking, widely also referred to as site layout surveys, is the process of visually interpreting construction blueprints using stakes as reference points. The stakes placed by surveyors will not only mark the dimensions and location of the structure to be built, but potentially roads, electrical lines, water lines, etc. With the visual markers in place, your contractors are able to maintain accuracy and compliance with the plan.

Common Questions about Land Surveying

What is land surveying and why is it important?

Land surveying is the process of measuring and mapping the physical features of a piece of land. This includes determining boundaries, marking property lines, and identifying natural and man-made features such as hills, streams, and buildings. Land surveying is essential for a variety of reasons, including property ownership, construction and development projects, and legal disputes.

What are some common methods used in land surveying?

There are several methods used in land surveying, including Global Positioning System (GPS) surveying, terrestrial surveying, and aerial surveying. GPS surveying uses satellites to accurately determine the location of points on the earth's surface, while terrestrial surveying involves taking measurements on the ground using a variety of tools and equipment. Aerial surveying uses aircraft or drones to capture images and data from above.

How much does land surveying cost and how long does it take?

The cost and duration of land surveying can vary widely depending on factors such as the size and complexity of the property, the type of surveying method used, and the location. Generally, land surveying can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars and can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks to complete. It is important to obtain multiple quotes from qualified surveyors before selecting a provider to ensure that you receive a fair price and accurate results.
