Our Services
Construction Surveying
Detailed field surveys that establish boundaries, elevations, reference points, and site topography before and during the construction process. The licensed surveying professionals we work with provide the critical spatial data that informs grading plans, foundation layouts, utility placement, and overall site design, ensuring that every phase of construction proceeds from an accurate baseline.
As-Built Surveys
Thorough post-construction documentation that captures the exact locations, dimensions, and elevations of completed site features as they were actually built. These surveys create a permanent, verifiable record of your finished project, supporting regulatory compliance, future development planning, and long-term property management.
Topographic Surveys
Comprehensive mapping of existing land features—including natural contours, vegetation, drainage patterns, and man-made structures—to provide the foundational data required for effective site planning, grading design, and stormwater management.

Our Surveying Process
Accurate survey data eliminates costly assumptions and prevents the field discrepancies that lead to delays, change orders, and rework. Collins Hammett Construction takes a disciplined approach to managing every surveying engagement, ensuring that the data delivered to your team is precise, complete, and formatted for immediate use.
- Scope Definition
We consult with your project team to establish the survey's purpose, required deliverables, accuracy standards, and any special considerations related to site access, existing structures, or regulatory requirements.
- Professional Coordination
We engage licensed, vetted surveying professionals whose qualifications and experience align with the specific demands of your project type and site conditions.
- Research and Preparation
Prior to fieldwork, existing plats, deeds, engineering plans, and any prior survey records are reviewed to establish a comprehensive understanding of the property before fieldwork begins.
- Field Data Collection
Advanced surveying instruments—GPS, robotic total stations, and digital leveling equipment—are used by experienced field professionals to collect precise measurements, control points, and spatial data across the project site.
- Data Processing and Drafting
Raw field data is processed, verified, and translated into clear, professionally formatted survey documents, maps, and digital files ready for use by engineers, architects, and project stakeholders.
- Deliverable Review
All survey products are reviewed with your team to ensure the data meets scope requirements, your questions get answered, and a reliable foundation for the next phase of work is established.

Here is what sets us apart:
Regional Knowledge
The professionals we work with bring familiarity with Upstate terrain, soil conditions, and local regulatory frameworks, enabling them to anticipate site challenges and deliver data that reflects the realities of building in this region.
Advanced Technology
Field crews utilize GPS systems, robotic total stations, and digital processing software to ensure that every data point collected meets the highest standards of accuracy and repeatability.
Integrated Site Knowledge
As a full-service site preparation contractor, Collins Hammett understands how survey data translates into grading, paving, drainage, and construction outcomes. That practical perspective shapes how we scope, coordinate, and review survey work—something that neither a standalone survey firm nor an unmanaged subcontractor relationship can readily replicate.

Survey deliverables frequently sit on the critical path of a construction schedule. Collins Hammett manages these engagements with the same schedule discipline applied across all of its site work, so deadlines are met without compromising data quality.
Clear, Actionable Deliverables
Survey documents produced through our process are precise, well-organized, and immediately usable by your engineers, architects, and construction managers—minimizing back-and-forth and keeping your project moving.
