Construction Staking & Construction Surveying Services

Construction Surveying Services in Southern California

Accurate construction layout, staking, as-built surveys, and site control for residential, commercial, and development projects.

Nationwide Surveying provides construction surveying services throughout Southern California, including Los Angeles County, Riverside County, San Bernardino County, Orange County, and San Diego County. Our construction survey work helps contractors, engineers, architects, developers, and property owners build improvements in the correct location and at the correct elevation.

Construction surveying is used before and during construction to help transfer approved plans from paper or CAD files onto the job site. This may include staking building corners, grid lines, walls, utilities, curb lines, site improvements, grading limits, and other construction features.

What Is Construction Surveying?

Construction surveying, sometimes called construction staking or construction layout, is the process of marking proposed improvements on the ground so the project can be built according to the approved plans. A construction survey may also verify existing conditions, confirm elevations, and document completed improvements after construction.

When You May Need Construction Surveying

Construction Layout and As-Built Surveys

Before construction begins, survey control and layout points help crews build from the correct locations shown on the plans. During or after construction, an as-built survey may be used to document the actual location of improvements, utilities, elevations, or other site features.

Depending on the project, deliverables may include field staking, survey notes, point files, CAD files, exhibits, or signed survey documents prepared under the responsible charge of a California Licensed Professional Land Surveyor.
