Precision Austin Land Surveying
Survey Works is a professional land surveying firm based in Austin, Texas, specializing in complex commercial, civil, and infrastructure projects across Texas.
Surveying Solutions for Teams Who Need It Done Right and On Time
Our team partners with developers, engineers, utility companies, architects, and public agencies to deliver accurate, high-efficiency surveying solutions that support the planning, design, and execution of large-scale projects.
Survey Works brings over 10 years of field-tested experience to your project. We align with your goals from day one to ensure clear communication, dependable timelines, and defensible data and provide a full suite of land survey services for complex project environments.
Property Surveys
We deliver sealed property surveys for homeowners, home buyers, and residential builders. Our teams establish property lines, document the corners with physical monuments, and produce the defensible record needed for fences, closings, permits, and neighbor disputes.
Boundary Surveys
We establish accurate, legally defined property boundaries for residential, commercial, and development parcels. Our teams use the latest in GNSS and robotic total stations to produce boundary surveys that support land acquisition, subdivision, entitlement, and site planning.
ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys
Our ALTA/NSPS surveys meet national standards for commercial real estate transactions. We provide full documentation of boundary lines, easements, encroachments, utilities, and improvements to satisfy lender, title, and legal requirements.
Topographic Surveys
Detailed topographic mapping supports grading plans, utility design, stormwater studies, and site layout. We deliver CAD-ready deliverables with surface contours, spot elevations, and structure locations tailored to engineering requirements.
Drone & Aerial Mapping
We deploy advanced UAV and aerial mapping technologies for topographic surveys, site monitoring, and large-scale data capture. Orthomosaics, DEMs, and 3D terrain models accelerate planning and cut field time significantly.
Construction Staking and Layout
We offer layout services for infrastructure, foundations, utilities, roadways, and vertical construction. Precise construction staking ensures that contractors execute plans as designed, supporting efficient site development and inspection approvals.
As-Built Surveys
We document completed improvements to verify compliance with approved plans, municipal codes, and contractual benchmarks. As-built surveys are delivered in formats compatible with project closeout and long-term asset management.
Subdivision & Plat Surveys
We prepare subdivision plats, lot line adjustments, and re-plats for residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments. Our team coordinates with civil engineers and city and county planning departments to file drawings the jurisdiction will accept.
Elevation Certificates
For projects in or near floodplains, we provide certified elevation data that supports floodplain analysis, drainage design, and FEMA documentation.
Foundation Surveys
We verify a newly poured foundation sits where the plans and permit require, checking its position against property lines, setbacks, and easements before framing begins. Catching a misplacement early protects the build schedule and the certificate of occupancy.
Built on CRAFT
Five principles behind every survey we seal, and the reason developers, engineers, and public agencies across Central Texas keep calling us back.
Candor
Clear scope, honest timelines, and a straight answer when a site is more complicated than it looks.
Rigor
Every line reconciled against the deed, the plat, and the monuments on the ground. The seal goes on work that holds up.
