Site Plan Surveys & Boundary + Topographic Mapping
Stamped site plan surveys, boundary + topographic base maps, and existing-condition documentation for Bay Area permit submittals. Many San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, and Peninsula jurisdictions require a site survey wet-stamped by a California Professional Land Surveyor before plans can be submitted, and we deliver CAD-ready base files architects, engineers, and design teams can build on.
Stamped Site Plan Surveys for Bay Area Permits
Many Bay Area jurisdictions require a current site survey wet-stamped by a California Professional Land Surveyor before a building permit application can be accepted — especially in San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, and Peninsula cities, and especially for additions, ADUs, demolitions, hillside work, and projects near setbacks or property lines.
We deliver boundary plus topographic base maps that show the property line, existing improvements, hardscape, trees, utilities, easements of record, spot elevations, and contours — on one stamped sheet that your architect or engineer can design directly on top of.
- Wet-stamped site plan surveys for permit submittals
- Combined boundary and terrain data on one base map
- Elevation contours, grades, and spot elevations
- Utility, structure, and improvement locations
- Tree and vegetation mapping
- CAD-ready (DWG) base files for design teams
Design Base Mapping
Boundary and topo data for teams designing from reality.
Combine property limits, grades, site features, and CAD-ready deliverables for planning and design.
When you need a stamped site survey
- Submitting permit drawings to SF, Oakland, Berkeley, or Peninsula planning departments.
- Designing additions, ADUs, decks, retaining walls, or new construction near setbacks.
- Hillside projects, demolitions, or work that affects grading and drainage.
- Architect or engineer needs a dependable CAD base file before starting design.
- Lender, title company, or jurisdiction is asking for a current PLS-stamped survey.
One survey, every base map your design team needs
Bay Area permit projects almost always need boundary, topo, and existing improvements on the same stamped sheet. Splitting that work across separate vendors usually costs more, takes longer, and leaves coordinate-system gaps that show up later as rework. We deliver the combined survey as a single CAD-ready DWG so the design team can move straight into site plan layout.
If you are not sure exactly what your jurisdiction will require on the stamped sheet, book a scope meeting and we will confirm the submittal requirements with the city before quoting the survey.

Boundary Determination
Establish clear, legally defensible property boundaries with a licensed Bay Area boundary surveyor — including difficult boundaries on hillside lots, irregular parcels, post-1906 SF blocks, fire-rebuild areas, and properties with conflicting record evidence.
