A clear next step

From first conversation to defined scope.

  1. 1. Tell us what is coming up.

    Share the project location, likely survey needs, and timing. Still figuring out the right survey? Start there.

  2. 2. Talk through the details.

    We review the request and follow up about plans, records, access, and the deliverables your team needs.

  3. 3. Confirm the work.

    Agree on scope, fees, and scheduling before authorizing the assignment. Submitting an inquiry does not book field work.

Before you reach out

A few useful answers.

Can you support our existing survey or engineering team?

Yes. Tell us what your team wants to retain and what you need help with. We can discuss a defined field assignment, overflow support, or a broader survey scope, including delivery format and review responsibilities.

What if I do not know which survey I need?

Tell us what you are trying to do: buy or finance property, prepare a design, build from plans, or resolve a boundary question. We will discuss the appropriate scope before preparing a proposal.

Can a scan become drawings or a model?

Yes, when that deliverable is included in the scope. Tell us which plans, sections, surfaces, or model elements your team needs. We agree on coverage, accuracy, file formats, and review responsibilities before capture. A point cloud alone is not a finished design model.

What should I have ready?

A project name or approximate location is enough to start. If available, have your current plans, title commitment, prior surveys, and target date ready for follow-up. You do not need an APN or complete document package to make an inquiry.

Can you help with a time-sensitive request?

Call 208-279-1596 and explain the deadline. Availability is confirmed after we review scope and current commitments.

Where do you work?

We are based in Boise and work across the Treasure Valley and the Wood River Valley. We travel a few hours for the right project, so ask about availability for a site elsewhere in Idaho.
