Selecting the right surveying firm for utility staking in a construction project is essential to ensure accuracy, efficiency, and full compliance with local regulations. Here’s why All Land Surveying is the ideal choice for your utility staking needs:

Once your permits are in hand and you're ready to begin excavation, it's essential to know the exact location of your structure.

All Land Surveying offers precise foundation staking services for new homes, shops, and commercial buildings. With extensive experience in staking hundreds of foundations, we are committed to delivering accurate corner stakes. This ensures your structure is positioned correctly, aligning with other improvements and, most importantly, within the legal setbacks of your property.

An As-Built Survey documents the final location, elevation, and layout of structures, utilities, and site features after construction. It includes any deviations from the original design, with a redline markup and a clean As-Built copy. In the Pacific Northwest, a Stormwater As-Built Survey verifies the placement of storm drains, detention ponds, and other drainage features, ensuring compliance with design specs and impervious surface calculations. For sewer and water systems, it records the location and depth of pipes, manholes, and components, critical for maintenance and future construction. All Land Surveying works closely with your utility provider for quick finalization and approval.

Construction or Geotechnical Monitoring is essential for projects involving soldier pile walls, large excavations, multi-story buildings, or unstable hillsides. These environments are prone to movement or settlement, which can lead to safety risks or costly damage. Monitoring movement during construction ensures the investment is durable, confirms subsurface conditions were accurately assessed during design, and helps determine if additional stabilization measures are needed. 

Before mobilizing heavy equipment and beginning grading, excavation, or utility work, it's vital to define the areas for clearing. Surveyors establish and stake clearing limits to clearly outline where vegetation, trees, and obstacles must be removed, as well as areas that must remain undisturbed. This ensures contractors focus on designated zones, preventing inadvertent disruption and ensuring all areas intended for development are properly included in the project.
