What Precision Surveys does

Precision Surveys, Inc. is a New Mexico-based professional land surveying firm founded in 1993 and headquartered in Albuquerque, with additional offices in Los Alamos, Pojoaque/Santa Fe, and Socorro. The company delivers three core services: boundary surveys that define tract boundaries through deed research, monument recovery, and plat preparation; topographic surveys that capture land elevation via GNSS receivers, robotic total stations, 3D laser scanners, and aerial methods; and 3D visualization services that produce models, flythroughs, walkthroughs, and 3D prints. Underlying delivery is built on industry-standard geospatial hardware and software, including Trimble Business Center, Carlson Survey, and AutoCAD Civil 3D, supplemented by drone-based aerial photogrammetry and LiDAR through an associate company, Volo Pervidi.

The firm's primary customer segment is federal and tribal government, anchored by repeat work for the Bureau of Reclamation on multi-year infrastructure corridor and rangeline projects, and by the Pueblos of San Ildefonso, Pojoaque, Nambe, and Tesuque on cadastral boundary work executed under BLM Manual of Surveying Instructions. Secondary segments include commercial real estate (ALTA/NSPS surveys), industrial clients (3D scanning for equipment alignment, notably General Mills' Albuquerque plant), and, more recently, electric utility companies in the West Texas Permian Basin for easement surveys. Revenue is generated through project-based professional services contracts, with pricing quoted per engagement and no public disclosure of fees.

In 2025, Precision Surveys was acquired by DJ&A, P.C., a multidisciplinary engineering, environmental, surveying, and planning firm with more than 175 professionals across the Mountain West and Southwest. The acquisition extends DJ&A's surveying and geospatial presence into New Mexico and provides Precision Surveys with a larger platform for federal, tribal, and private client delivery.

Core offering

Precision Surveys is a professional land surveying firm that performs boundary surveys, topographic surveys, ALTA/NSPS land title surveys, cadastral surveys, easement surveys, and 3D visualization services for government, tribal, and commercial clients. Engagements are delivered as project-based professional services using GNSS, robotic total stations, 3D laser scanners, LiDAR, drone aerial photogrammetry, and GIS platforms, with processing in Trimble Business Center, Carlson Survey, and AutoCAD Civil 3D.

Product overview

Precision Surveys offers a focused portfolio of geospatial services centered on three core surveying products: Boundary Surveys (defining land tract boundaries through research, monument recovery, and plat preparation), Topographic Surveys (measuring land elevations using contours, spot elevations, and various data collection methods including ground-based 3D laser scanners and aerial methods), and 3D Visualization (creating 3D models, flythroughs, walkthroughs, and 3D prints). The company specializes in commercial surveys including ALTAs and large-scale cadastral projects for governmental and tribal entities. They also offer associated services such as ALTA/NSPS surveys, easement surveys, utility surveys, and control surveys, all supported by advanced technology including GPS/GNSS, robotic total stations, 3D laser scanners, LiDAR, and drone-based aerial photogrammetry.

Products and services

• Boundary Surveys Professional land boundary surveys that define the boundaries of a tract of land through research, calculations, field search for property corners, boundary reconciliation, and plat preparation, delivered to commercial, governmental, and tribal clients.
• Topographic Surveys Survey service that shows land elevation typically represented by contours, spot elevations, or both, using GNSS receivers, robotic total stations, differential levels, and 3D laser scanners to collect hundreds of thousands of data points, with aerial methods available for large-scale topographic data collection.
• 3D Visualization Advanced visualization service that creates 3D models of existing ground conditions and future improvements, flythroughs, walkthroughs, animations, and 3D prints to present survey data in visual formats for clients.
• ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys ALTA/NSPS land title surveys performed for commercial property transactions, providing accurate boundary definition, identification of encroachments, and compliance with title survey standards for commercial real estate clients.
• Cadastral Surveys Large-scale cadastral surveys for federal and tribal clients, including boundary reconciliation, deed and easement research, and GIS-format deliverables following BLM Manual of Surveying Instructions on Pueblo and federal lands.
• Easement Surveys Surveying services preparing easement documentation across private property for utility line installation, including electric power infrastructure projects in the Permian Basin region of West Texas.

Broad incumbents

• Woolpert: Large U.S. architecture, engineering, and geospatial services firm with strong surveying, LiDAR, and aerial mapping practices. Comparable to Precision Surveys on the geospatial/3D visualization and federal project axes, but operating at national scale and with deeper investment in proprietary sensor and GIS platforms.
• NV5 Global: Public technical engineering and consulting firm with substantial geospatial, surveying, and infrastructure practices serving federal, state, and commercial clients. Comparable in offering boundary, topographic, and GIS-centric surveying services, with a recurring-revenue and national-footprint model Precision Surveys does not match.
• Westwood Professional Services: Multidisciplinary design and surveying firm with land surveying, geospatial, and 3D visualization capabilities. Comparable in serving commercial real estate, energy, and public-sector clients, though with a wider geographic reach and an integrated engineering practice.
• Bowman Consulting Group: Engineering, land surveying, and environmental services firm serving public and private clients across the U.S. Comparable in core boundary, ALTA, and topographic surveying offerings, with a much larger multi-state footprint and broader transportation and utility practice.
• DJ&A, P.C. Parent company of Precision Surveys since 2025 and a multidisciplinary engineering, environmental, surveying, and planning firm with 175+ professionals across the western U.S. Directly comparable as a surveying/geospatial services provider with a federal, tribal, and commercial client mix, but at meaningfully larger scale and broader service breadth.
• SAM, LLC: Nationwide provider of surveying, mapping, and geospatial services with strong federal client relationships. Comparable in cadastral, boundary, and large-corridor survey work for federal infrastructure programs, but with substantially greater scale and geographic reach.

Direct peers

• Aero-Graphics: Aerial surveying and mapping firm specializing in LiDAR, photogrammetry, and GIS deliverables. Comparable to Precision Surveys' aerial/LiDAR capabilities and topographic survey outputs, with a focus on large-area remote-sensing data collection for engineering and government clients.
• Pickett & Associates: Professional surveying and mapping firm with strong utility and infrastructure survey practices. Comparable to Precision Surveys' easement and utility line survey work, particularly for power and pipeline infrastructure across varied terrains.
• SurvTech Solutions: Multi-disciplinary surveying, mapping, and geospatial firm serving federal, state, and private clients in the Southeast U.S. Comparable in combining boundary, topographic, hydrographic, and 3D laser scanning services, with overlap in federal and commercial client mix.

Others

• Esri: Dominant GIS software platform provider that Precision Surveys uses as part of its delivery stack. Not a direct competitor, but a key enabling technology vendor for the firm's GIS-format deliverables on Bureau of Reclamation and tribal projects.
