For US Land Surveyors

Survey Drafting Services for Land Surveyors

Boundary, topographic, mortgage and as-built surveys and recordable plats, drafted overnight to your state standards and your office template, ready for your PLS to review and seal.

Keep Your Crews in the Field and Your PLS Off the Drafting Table

Across the US, surveying firms tell the same story: plenty of work, not enough people. Experienced survey technicians are retiring faster than new ones arrive, and the few available are expensive. The result is a growing stack of field data waiting to be drafted, and licensed surveyors who spend their evenings in CAD rather than reviewing work and talking to clients.

Our survey drafting services for land surveyors fill that gap, from boundary and topo work to plat drafting services for county recording. We work as your remote drafting technicians, using your Civil 3D or Carlson template, your description keys and your title block. Your crew uploads the day's data, we draft overnight, and the drawing is ready for your PLS to review in the morning. Mortgage surveys go out faster, closings are not held up, and your firm can quote more work without adding staff.

What We Deliver

Boundary Surveys

Bearings and distances, record and measured calls, monuments found and set with descriptions, basis of bearings, adjoiners and encroachments.

Topographic Surveys

Surfaces and contours from your shots and breaklines, spot elevations, utilities from 811 locates and as-builts, trees, structures and benchmarks.

Mortgage and Residential Surveys

Lot surveys for closings showing improvements, setbacks, easements and flood zone statements, on a next-morning pipeline.

Plat Drafting Services

Subdivision plats, replats, minor plats and lot splits set up for county recording, with dedications, approval blocks and lot tables.

As-Built and Foundation Surveys

Form board, foundation and final as-built surveys showing constructed improvements against setbacks.

ALTA/NSPS and Title Surveys

Full ALTA drafting with Table A items and Schedule B exceptions, covered in detail on our ALTA page.

Software We Use

Most US survey firms run Civil 3D or Carlson, and we work natively in both. Point files arrive as CSV or TXT exports from Trimble, Leica, Topcon or Carlson data collectors; we process them with your description keys or field-to-finish code library so linework builds the way your crew intended.

Turnaround and Quotes

Boundary, mortgage and small topo drawings are typically delivered by the next morning. Large topo sites, plats and ALTA surveys are scheduled by scope, with the delivery date confirmed in the quote. Prices are fixed per drawing in US dollars; for steady volume, a dedicated drafter on a monthly rate usually works out cheaper per drawing.

FAQ

Survey Drafting for US Surveyors: FAQ

Yes. Tell us the state (or send the standards) and we include the required elements, such as basis of bearings, monument descriptions, flood zone statements, certification wording and notes, in your template so every drawing complies before your PLS reviews it.

Both. We can import your point file with description keys or field-to-finish codes, build the linework, create surfaces and annotate, or we can finish drawings your crew started in the field.

We can draft legal description text and exhibits from your boundary solution for your surveyor to review and sign. The boundary resolution and final wording remain the responsibility of the licensed surveyor.

Yes. Mortgage, boundary and as-built surveys for residential closings are a large share of our US work, and we can set up a daily pipeline with next-morning delivery.
