Global Raymac Surveys

What Global Raymac Surveys does

Global Raymac Surveys Inc. is a privately held Canadian geomatics and engineering firm founded in 1978 and headquartered in Calgary, Alberta. The company provides professional land surveying, geospatial, and engineering services to enterprise and government clients across Western Canada, operating from nine offices (Calgary HQ, Vancouver, Edmonton, Grande Prairie, Invermere, Fort St. John, Lloydminster) with a workforce of 220+ employees and 75 field crews. Its service portfolio spans three pillars: surveying services (construction, pipeline major projects and integrity, real property reports, oil & gas, mining, transportation, telecommunications, transmission & distribution, utilities, renewable energy, municipal/land development, dams/water management); geospatial technologies (3D laser scanning at 1 million points/second, mobile 3D mapping via Canada's first Trimble MX9 at 2.4 million points/second and 110 km/h, UAV surveying with a 40-drone fleet and 30 Transport Canada certified pilots, UAV LiDAR, GIS, bathymetric/hydrographic); and engineering services (municipal, water resources, construction management).

The company generates revenue primarily through project-based professional services sold directly to enterprise clients via field sales, with quote-based pricing as the default and standardized unit pricing only for Real Property Reports (standard 10-day turnaround, $110 rush premium for 5-day, $165 rush premium for 3-day). Named enterprise customers include TC Energy, Pembina Pipeline, and the Coastal GasLink Pipeline project, alongside a long tail of municipal, real estate, construction, and mining clients. Equipment partnerships with Trimble, Leica Geosystems, RIEGL, DJI, Sensefly, and ZF (hydrographic) underpin the technology stack. The firm holds COR safety certification since 2006 (98%+ audit scores) and a BBB Torch Award, and operates as a privately held corporation with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, or acquisition history. The leadership team comprises CEO Jana Gronzil (CPA), COO Kevin Martin, CSO Adam Brash, CIO Jonas Vermeulen, and five VPs covering Energy, Pipeline/Major Projects, Quality, HR, and Utilities.
