Grading & servicing design
The civil engineering behind the stakes — site servicing, grading, drainage, and stormwater design.

Precise layout. Reliable as-builts.
Engineering survey services that put your project exactly where the drawings say it should be — from pre-construction topographic work to final as-built certification.
What we do
Our survey crews support builders, contractors, and homeowners with the field measurement and layout work construction depends on. Tied directly to our engineering teams, our surveys feed straight into grading designs, site plans, and certification letters.
- Pre-construction and topographic surveys
- Precise construction layout — foundations, gridlines, services
- As-built surveys and certification
- Site plans for permit and site plan approval
- Lot grading plans and grading certificates
- Drainage plans
Note: we provide engineering and construction surveys. Legal (cadastral) boundary surveys must be performed by an Ontario Land Surveyor; we can coordinate with an OLS on your behalf where one is required.

Every drawing and report we issue is prepared under our PEO Certificate of Authorization and sealed by a licensed Professional Engineer where the Ontario Building Code or your authority having jurisdiction requires it.
FAQ
Common questions
Can you survey my property boundaries?
No — boundary and legal surveys are reserved to licensed Ontario Land Surveyors (OLS). Our crews provide engineering and construction surveying: layout, as-builts, grading, and topographic work in support of design and construction.
What is construction layout?
Layout transfers the design to the ground — staking foundations, gridlines, services, curbs, and finished grades from the engineering drawings so your crews build exactly what was designed.
What is an as-built survey and when do I need one?
An as-built records what was actually constructed and compares it to the design. Municipalities commonly require as-builts before assuming subdivision services or releasing securities, and owners use them for records and future renovations.
Do you prepare lot grading plans and certificates?
Yes. We prepare lot grading plans for permits and subdivisions, and provide the final grading certification many municipalities require before releasing deposits.
How quickly can a crew be on site?
For most layout and as-built work in the Brockville area we can schedule a crew within days — call the office and we'll coordinate with your contractor's schedule.
