Surveying and Site Assessment
Surveys and Phase I/II site assessment.
Site & environment
As part of our full-service engineering capabilities, BBD offers in-house, state-of-the-art survey services to support our engineering work. With our surveying team in-house, it’s easier to integrate survey data into design and building plans. We perform surveying for commercial and residential developments, highways, utilities, property acquisitions, and more. Our licensed professionals use advanced equipment to deliver accurate, high-quality surveys in a timely manner, no matter the size or scope of the project.
What’s included
We combine land surveying with site assessment so your project begins with a complete picture of the property:
- Boundary, topographic/design, and ALTA/NSPS land title surveys
- As-builts and existing condition surveys
- Construction layout and control surveys
- Control surveys for aerial mapping and LiDAR
- Cadastral boundary, geodetic, and hydrographic surveys
- Right-of-way: boundary surveys, mapping, parcel plats, legal descriptions
- Platting, easement preparation, and zoning tasks
- Route surveys and trail mapping
- Aeronautical and obstruction surveys
- Quality control surveys and inspections
- Records and title research interpretation
- GIS data collection and management
- Phase I environmental site assessments and Phase II investigations
- Topographic surveys
- Boundary and ALTA surveys
- Construction layout
- Aerial mapping and LiDAR control
- Right-of-way and platting
- GIS data collection
Why BBD Engineering
Pairing surveys with site assessment under one roof means the data lines up. Your topographic and boundary information, your environmental findings, and your design all reference the same site, which prevents the costly surprises that appear when this work is split across separate vendors. The findings feed directly into our civil and environmental teams.
Licensed Professional Engineers
Every set of drawings is prepared and sealed by a licensed PE and designed to the codes that apply to your project.
One Coordinated Team
When your project crosses engineering services, the same team handles all of it, so nothing falls through the gaps.
Clear Quotes and Timelines
We scope and quote each project up front, with honest timelines and responsive communication throughout.
Licensed in the Lower 48 States
Our professional engineers are licensed in all the lower 48 states and are familiar with each state's unique rules and regulations.

Frequently asked questions
What does a site assessment include?
A site assessment documents existing conditions and identifies risks. A Phase I environmental site assessment reviews records and site conditions, and a Phase II investigation adds sampling and testing where contamination is suspected.
Do you provide topographic and boundary surveys?
Yes. Our licensed surveying professionals provide topographic, boundary, and construction-layout surveys, along with as-built documentation.
Do you provide ALTA/NSPS land title surveys?
Yes. We perform ALTA/NSPS land title surveys along with cadastral boundary and geodetic surveys, platting, easement preparation, and records and title research interpretation.
Can you support aerial mapping, LiDAR, and right-of-way work?
Yes. We provide control surveys for aerial mapping and LiDAR, plus right-of-way boundary surveys, mapping, parcel plats, and legal descriptions.
Can the survey and assessment data feed into design?
Yes. Because our surveying, civil, and environmental teams work together, your survey and assessment data flows straight into the site and structural design, with no translation between vendors.
Related engineering services
Projects that need surveying and site assessment often also need civil engineering, environmental engineering and water/wastewater engineering. Because every engineering service sits with one team, the same engineers coordinate all of it, and you can send everything at once with an engineering services work request.
