What Control Point Associates does

Control Point Associates, Inc. is a privately held professional land surveying and geospatial services firm founded in 1992 in New Jersey and headquartered in Warren, NJ. The firm provides a comprehensive service portfolio spanning traditional land surveying (boundary, topographic, ALTA/ACSM, construction stakeout), advanced geospatial technologies (3D laser scanning, mobile LiDAR, UAV/drone mapping, aerial photogrammetry, GIS), and specialized offerings (subsurface utility engineering, hydrographic surveying, volumetric surveys, and the TruView virtual environment collaboration platform). Deliverables are produced in standard CAD and BIM formats (AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit, MicroStation), and field operations are supported by FAA Part 107 certified drone pilots and 50+ mobile crews.

The company serves commercial real estate developers, industrial and manufacturing clients, transportation and infrastructure owners (including airports), educational institutions, healthcare systems, government and municipal agencies, and historic preservation projects. Named enterprise clients include Fordham University, Columbia University, University of Rochester, White Plains Hospital, Teterboro Airport, Philadelphia International Airport, Avis Budget Group, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Exxon, Delta Airlines/Monroe Energy, Chase, Wawa, 7-Eleven, Sam's Club, and Home Depot. The GTM model combines enterprise field sales through branch and regional managers with a 24/7 website quote-request channel for SMB and property-owner work.

Control Point generates project-based professional services revenue through quote-based pricing tied to scope, terrain, and service type, with multi-year engagements on large campus and infrastructure programs. The firm has executed a programmatic M&A strategy, acquiring Brooks & Brooks Land Surveyors (2022, Hudson Valley NY), McLaughlin Engineering Company (2023, Fort Lauderdale FL), Rouse-Sirine Associates (2026, Virginia), and Borbas Surveying & Mapping (2026, Boonton NJ), building a 12+ office network across New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Florida, and Virginia with 200+ full-time employees. The company is founder-led by President and Managing Partner Richard A. Butkus, Jr., remains privately held with no institutional equity disclosed, and is positioned by its own materials as one of the largest professional land surveying and geospatial firms in the Eastern United States.
