The process sounds scarier than it is, trust us. It’ll go something like this:
You reach out for an estimate
We chat to figure out what your end goal is and how we can make that happen
You submit a signed contract and retainer fee.
We do some research and prep. This includes obtaining deeds, any prior survey information, and county/township information.
We show up on site and do our thing. Most clients do not meet us on site unless requested or inclined.
We bring the data back and create the map.
If any applications or maps need to be approved by the Township or County, we’ll handle that too.
Once approved, the maps are filed with the County.
You will be invoiced for the remaining balance.

When completing surveys, Wisconsin requires a physical monument be set flush with the ground. Meaning; there will be a pipe/rebar under the ground which you can locate with a metal detector. We will also put a fencepost and bright pink tape next to the monument for an easy visual.
