Land Surveyor in Oakland

Oakland surveying work splits into two very different worlds. In the Oakland Hills — Montclair, Rockridge, and the 1991 firestorm rebuild areas — lots are steep, irregular, and often bounded by retaining walls or fences that were rebuilt without a survey. Boundary determinations here frequently require monument recovery on winding hillside streets and careful reconciliation of older subdivision maps recorded with Alameda County. Downslope and upslope lots also make topographic accuracy critical for any addition, deck, or retaining-wall permit.

In the flatlands and downtown — from Victorians and Craftsman homes in West Oakland to warehouse and loft conversions around Jack London Square — the common problem is that original drawings no longer match the building. We use 3D laser scanning to capture existing conditions for seismic retrofits, adaptive reuse, condominium conversions, and tenant improvements, delivering point clouds, scan-to-CAD floor plans, and BIM-ready models that Oakland architects and engineers can design on with confidence.
