Land Surveying

When you want to make improvements to your property or would like to know your boundary lines, a current land survey is the first step. These are also referred to as: plot plans, A2 surveys or boundary “stake-outs.”

REQUEST A SURVEY

Tell Us Your Project Goals

The type of survey you need is determined by the end result you want to achieve. For example, you may need a simple boundary stake-out to erect a fence. Or a detailed Zoning Location Survey to support your request for a zoning variance. For some permits, you may need a survey performed to a specific standard of accuracy. An “A2 survey” is a term often used by building departments regarding permits.

Save Time & Money

Our land surveyors help you accomplish your goals with the appropriate type of survey – not too little nor too much for your project. That saves you time and money.

What our clients are saying

My husband and I were interested in obtaining a survey of our property. This was our first experience requesting and reading a survey. We did not know where to begin. We contacted Redniss & Mead and were immediately connected with Jorge Pereira. Jorge was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. He explained the steps, options and costs involved in a clear manner. We were always able to reach out and have all of our questions answered and concerns addressed. The team that came out to install the stakes was very courteous. Once the work was complete they explained what had been done and answered any questions we had for them. We have enjoyed working with Redniss & Mead and would highly recommend their services.
Rica & Keir Curran
Homeowners
My firm has been using Redniss & Mead for over fifteen years and I would strongly recommend the use of their services for any and all projects that require civil engineering and surveying. I have always been impressed with the attentiveness, knowledge of local laws, codes and requirements, and reliability exhibited by the Redniss & Mead team. The relationships that Redniss & Mead has established within the industry and the local town departments have aided in the approvals and success of my firm’s projects. I look forward to future successful partnerships with Redniss & Mead.
Bill Gardiner
Gardiner & Larson Homes - New Canaan, CT
Our good friend recommended the firm of Redniss & Mead, and after soliciting bids, we chose them - not based solely on price, but on the professionalism that they exhibited from the outset. The survey that they prepared for us was unmatched in detail, and complemented our overall submission to the town. The quality of the documentation enhanced the credibility of the overall project, and helped us speed through the approval process. Further, their level of service "after the sale" has been consistent with their professional approach. We cannot sing higher praise than we do for the people of Redniss & Mead.
