What Borbas Surveying & Mapping does

Borbas Surveying & Mapping is a private, New Jersey-headquartered (Boonton) professional land surveying and digital mapping firm founded in 1986 by Peter Borbas, who continues to serve as president. The company provides measurement, mapping, and geospatial documentation services to clients in three primary verticals: infrastructure (government agencies, engineering firms, construction companies), environmental services (consulting firms, regulatory agencies), and industrial markets (refineries, chemical plants, manufacturing operations). Service scope spans boundary determination, topographic surveys, construction staking, environmental site characterization, and litigation support.

The firm's technical platform combines conventional surveying practice with advanced geospatial instrumentation, including UAV-based photogrammetry, aerial and ground-based LiDAR, terrestrial laser scanning, mobile LiDAR corridor mapping, GIS analysis and visualization, and bathymetric/hydrographic surveying. Following its February 2026 acquisition by Control Point Associates, Inc. (CPA), Borbas operates as a brand within a multi-office, multi-state platform, gaining access to CPA's expanded technology stack, operational resources, and broader licensing footprint while retaining the Borbas team and client relationships.

The business model is professional services delivered on a project basis, with pricing quoted per project depending on scope, terrain complexity, and required deliverables. Go-to-market is direct enterprise engagement with infrastructure, environmental, and industrial clients, supported by a company website and referral/relationship-based channels rather than digital marketing. The firm holds professional surveying licenses in multiple U.S. states, which both enables and constrains its cross-jurisdictional project coverage. The firm does not disclose revenue, contract values, or customer-level data in any available source.
