Did You Know? 

•  One of the Oldest Professions
  Land surveying dates back over 5,000 years. In Florida’s history, surveyors have been essential for mapping coastal areas, marshlands, and inland property lines, especially after major flooding events like the 1947 St. Lucie River flood. 

• George Washington’s Early Career
  Before becoming the first U.S. President, George Washington was a professional land surveyor in Virginia. At just 17, he surveyed wilderness lands, skills that later helped him in leadership and governance. 

• Finding Buried Monuments
  Surveyors in Florida often locate original iron rods, concrete monuments, brass disks, or other markers placed decades ago. These “monuments” legally define property boundaries and can be as valuable as treasure. 

• Modern Technology in Florida
  Today’s Florida surveyors use advanced tools like GNSS satellite receivers, robotic total stations, drones, LiDAR scanners, and 3D modeling software. These technologies improve accuracy, speed, and safety, especially in challenging terrain like wetlands and coastal areas. 

• Specialized Florida Services
  Florida surveying services include boundary surveys, ALTA/NSPS surveys, topographic surveys, construction stakeouts, and drone/LiDAR mapping. These are critical for real estate transactions, construction projects, and environmental compliance.
