Comprehensive Land Surveying Services

From residential boundary lines to complex commercial ALTA surveys, I deliver accurate, legally defensible work tailored to your project's needs.

Boundary Surveys

Establish or confirm property lines with precision. I research deeds, deeds of trust, and county records to locate your exact boundaries — essential for purchases, disputes, and fencing.

Topographic Surveys

Detailed elevation maps showing contours, trees, structures, utilities, and natural features. Critical for site planning, drainage design, and construction layout.

ALTA/NSPS Surveys

Comprehensive title surveys meeting ALTA/NSPS standards for commercial and residential closings. Accepted by title companies, lenders, and insurers nationwide.

Subdivision & Platting

Divide land into lots with professionally prepared plats and legal descriptions. I guide you through the process from initial survey to recorded documentation.

Construction Staking

Translate blueprints into stakes on the ground. I mark foundations, grade points, utility locations, and critical elevations so your build stays on target.

FEMA Elevation Certificates

Determine your property's flood zone and elevation for insurance and compliance. Required for properties in flood zones and for NFIP policy issuance.

A Local Surveyor You Can Trust

I'm Ronald Murphy, and I've spent over two decades serving Ironton and the surrounding Iron County communities with honest, accurate land surveying.

My practice is built on a simple principle: your property is one of your most important investments, and the surveys I produce should stand up to scrutiny — from your neighbor to the county assessor to the courts. I combine modern GPS and total station technology with thorough deed research and a deep familiarity with local land records.

When you work with me, you're not getting a faceless firm that passes your job to a junior technician. You're getting direct, personal service — clear communication, realistic timelines, and answers to your questions before you need to ask them.
