Land Surveyor in Sausalito

Sausalito climbs straight up from Richardson Bay, and its lots follow the hill: narrow, steep, stacked one above another, and served as often by public stairways and unimproved paper streets as by roads. The 1870s Sausalito Land and Ferry Company subdivision put lines across slopes that have since been terraced with retaining walls, decks, and garages, so encroachments across property lines and into rights-of-way are common and boundary questions usually arrive alongside a wall or drainage question. The Marinship district on the waterfront is different ground entirely — bay fill from the World War II shipyard, now a mix of marine industry, studios, and the floating-home community, where tideland boundaries, BCDC jurisdiction, and settlement matter. Marin County reviews and records surveys for the city.

Steep, built-up lots are exactly where our terrestrial laser scanner earns its keep. A single setup captures the slope, every wall face and stair, the neighboring structures, and the existing house, and we deliver contours, a ground model, and a DWG base map from the cloud along with the registered point cloud itself. Sausalito's view-driven remodels and rebuilds also need precise existing-building documentation for height and daylight-plane analysis, which the same scan provides as scan-to-CAD elevations and BIM-ready models. Boundary surveys are tied to recovered monuments and county records and filed as a Record of Survey with Marin County when the resolution warrants it.
