LAND SURVEYS
Called ‘geometric’ in Canada and much of Europe, Land Surveying is the Worlds second oldest profession. The American Congress on Surveying and Mapping (ACSM) describes land surveying as the science and art of making all essential measurements to determine the relative position of points and/or physical and cultural details above, on, or beneath the surface of the Earth, and to depict them in a usable form, or to establish the position of points and/or details.
Peak Surveys, Inc. has been conducting all types of land surveys for over thirty years. We assist developers, graders, architects, real estate companies and individuals with physical monumentation, measuring and mapping. We have helped in the process of constructing everything from a single-family dwellings to high rises and megamalls. Land Surveys come in various forms.
