Taking an integrated approach means that civil engineering and land surveying services are performed by a single firm, utilizing the skills of cross-trained civil / survey technicians and designers.
The primary design technician will start the project as a member of the topographic survey crew. In this way, critical site features only a civil designer may recognize will be documented.
When the project is ready for construction, the same designer or technician will be part of the staking crew. In this way, staking is based on a drawing with which the crew is thoroughly familiar.
