A Topo Your Design Team Can Actually Build On.

Architects and residential designers: get a clean, CAD-ready topographic survey of existing grades, structures, trees, and utilities — so you design from real conditions, not assumptions.

Tell us what the city, county, architect, or engineer requested — we’ll help determine whether you need boundary, topo, setback, hillside, or permit survey support. Call now to discuss your project.

Existing-conditions topo for design.

What we capture

Deliverable formats

We deliver CAD/DWG you can design in, plus PDF for review. Tell us your preferred datum, contour interval, and layering conventions and we’ll match your office standards. Point-cloud or 3D options are available for complex sites.

How we coordinate with your office

We’re used to working surveyor-to-designer: clear scope, predictable turnaround, and files that drop into your base sheet without rework. Many architects set us up as a go-to so each new project starts fast.

Turnaround & accuracy

We quote quickly and schedule fieldwork promptly, with accuracy appropriate to design and permitting. Timing depends on lot size, terrain, and access — and we’ll give you a realistic date up front.

Hillside & complex sites

Sloped and heavily-vegetated lots need more detail. We capture denser data on hillside sites and can add hillside and boundary/setback work so your design starts complete.

Frequently asked questions

What’s included in a topo for design?

Existing grades, structures, hardscape, significant trees, utilities, and surface features — enough for your team to design from real conditions.

What CAD formats do you deliver?

CAD/DWG plus PDF, matched to your preferred datum, contour interval, and layering. Point-cloud/3D is available for complex sites.

What contour interval do you use?

Whatever your design and the jurisdiction call for — commonly one or two feet for residential. Tell us your preference and we’ll match it.

Can you add boundary or setbacks to the topo?

Yes. We can tie in property lines and verify setbacks so your base sheet is complete.

How fast can you turn it around?

We quote quickly and schedule promptly; timing depends on lot size, terrain, and access.

Do you handle hillside or steep sites?

Yes — we capture denser data on slopes and routinely survey hillside lots across LA County.

A survey supports plan check, design, and code review. It does not guarantee permit approval — the city or county building and planning departments make the final decision. Our job is to make your project survey-ready.

Licensed Surveyor Oversight

Survey work is completed by, or under the responsible charge of, California-licensed Professional Land Surveyors. When a stamped survey is required, the final deliverable will identify the responsible licensee for that project.
