Scope & research
We talk through your project, pull the recorded deeds, maps, and title records, and confirm what the work actually requires.
Headlands Surveying
A licensed Bay Area survey practice covering boundary, topographic, and construction work — every project researched, measured, and carried through to a recorded map by the surveyor who signs it.
How we work
From first call to recorded map
Every survey follows the same disciplined path — so you always know where your project stands and what comes next.
Field measurement
Existing monuments recovered, corners located, and site features captured with survey-grade equipment.
Analysis & mapping
Field data reconciled against the record to produce a clear, defensible map or exhibit.
Delivery & recording
Documents stamped and, where the work calls for it, filed with the county so the results enter the public record.
What we do
Survey work, grouped by what you're trying to accomplish
Whatever stage your project is at, there's a survey that fits. Here's how the work breaks down.
Boundaries & rights
- Boundary & Property SurveysKnow exactly where your land ends — corners recovered or re-set, checked against title, and recorded so the answer holds up.
- Easement DocumentationPut shared access, drainage, or utility rights on paper — mapped and described so there's no argument later.
Site development
- Topographic SurveysA precise picture of your site's ground, so design starts from what's really there — not assumptions.
- Construction StakingYour approved plans marked out on the dirt, phase by phase, so the build lands where it's supposed to.
Land division
- Lot Line Adjustments & SubdivisionsRedraw a shared line or split one parcel into several — carried through agency review to the recorded map.
Certificates & guidance
- FEMA Elevation & Flood CertificatesThe elevation and flood-zone numbers your insurer, lender, or city needs — certified on the official form.
- ConsultationNot sure what you need? Tell us the situation and we'll point you to the right survey, or the right person.
About
One surveyor, accountable end to end.
Headlands is a single-surveyor practice, which means the person who researches your title is the same one in the field and the same one who stamps the final map. Nothing is handed off to a rotating crew, and nothing gets lost between departments.
We work with Homeowners · Architects & Engineers · Contractors · Developers · Title & Legal Teams
