GGI

What GGI does

GGI Surveying & Mapping, operating under the legal entity Guyett Geomatics Incorporated, is a privately held California-licensed land surveying firm headquartered at 1251 Pomona Road, Suite 101, Corona, California. The firm provides a comprehensive suite of surveying and mapping services organized into two categories: field services (GPS survey, monitoring survey, boundary survey, ALTA survey, topographic survey, construction layout, aerial topography, design survey, control survey, and drone imagery) delivered on-site using GPS equipment, unmanned aerial systems (drones), and photogrammetry; and office services (tract maps, parcel maps, record of survey, corner records, lot line adjustments, certificate of compliance, lot mergers, and legal descriptions) for data processing and documentation. GGI serves three customer segments — land development, public works, and private sector clients — exclusively within California.

The firm's technology stack centers on state-of-the-art GPS and survey equipment, FAA Part 107 certified drone operations, photogrammetry, and self-described custom computing solutions intended to shorten deliverable turnaround. The principal differentiator is human: GGI employs drone pilots who are also California Professional Land Surveyors, enabling integrated aerial and ground surveying under one provider. The firm is led by two P.L.S. principals, Lenny Guyett and Mike Navarro, with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or institutional ownership — the operating model is owner-operator professional services.

Revenue is generated through direct client engagement on a project basis, with no publicly disclosed pricing, no software-as-a-service or app layer, and no API. Marketing is conducted almost entirely through direct client communication (including regular email project status updates) and word-of-mouth referrals. No revenue, headcount, funding, M&A, partnerships, or product launch history is publicly disclosed, and the firm's founding date is not stated. GGI has no AI/ML products, no patents or trademarks on file, and no app or platform distribution.

Core offering

GGI provides licensed land surveying and mapping services for land development, public works, and private sector projects in California. The offering combines field data capture (GPS, boundary, ALTA, topographic, construction layout, aerial/drone, design, control, and monitoring surveys) with office deliverables (tract maps, parcel maps, records of survey, corner records, lot line adjustments, certificates of compliance, lot mergers, and legal descriptions) using FAA Part 107 certified drone pilots who are also California licensed land surveyors.

Product overview

GGI provides a comprehensive suite of surveying and mapping services for land development, public works, and private sector projects. The company operates a two-tier service model: Field Services (GPS Survey, Boundary Survey, ALTA Survey, Topographic Survey, Construction Layout, Aerial Topography, Design Survey, Control Survey, Drone Imagery, and Monitoring Survey) delivered on-site using UASs, GPS equipment, and photogrammetry; and Office Services (Tract Maps, Parcel Maps, Record of Survey, Corner Records, Lot Line Adjustments, Certificate of Compliance, Lot Mergers, and Legal Descriptions) for data processing and documentation. The company emphasizes FAA Part 107 certified drone pilots who are also California licensed land surveyors, and uses powerful software tools and custom computing solutions for prompt turnaround.

Broad incumbents

• Trimble Inc. Trimble is a positioning and geospatial technology company whose GPS/GNSS hardware, survey software, and UAS-mapping tools underpin much of the industry — relevant as a broad incumbent and enabling technology provider rather than a direct surveying-services competitor, but a key influence on GGI's delivery economics.
• AECOM: AECOM is a global infrastructure consulting firm with a sizable surveying and geospatial practice serving land development, transportation, and public-works clients — a broad incumbent whose scale and integrated service model overshadow small-firm offerings like GGI's.
• Stantec: Stantec is a global engineering, architecture, and geomatics firm offering land surveying and geospatial services across infrastructure, environmental, and development markets — a much larger, full-service incumbent competing for boundary, topographic, and construction-survey work.
• NV5 Global: NV5 is a publicly listed infrastructure, environmental, and geospatial services firm offering surveying, mapping, and aerial data acquisition as part of a much broader portfolio — a scaled, multi-disciplinary incumbent competing for many of the same public-works and land-development survey engagements GGI targets.

Direct peers

• Towill, Inc. Towill is a Northern California surveying, mapping, and geospatial firm providing boundary, topographic, construction, and aerial mapping services using GPS and photogrammetry — closely aligned with GGI's GPS/UAS/photogrammetry-based field practice and licensed-surveyor delivery model.
• Psomas: Psomas is a California-based engineering, surveying, and consulting firm providing boundary, topographic, ALTA, construction layout, and geospatial services to land development, public works, and private clients — substantially overlapping GGI's service portfolio, geographic footprint, and customer mix.
• Aero-Graphics: Aero-Graphics is an aerial surveying and mapping firm using manned aircraft, UAS, photogrammetry, and LiDAR to deliver topographic and geospatial data — directly aligned with GGI's drone- and photogrammetry-led aerial surveying capabilities and licensed-surveyor deliverables.
• Surdex Corporation: Surdex is a geospatial services firm specializing in large-scale aerial surveying, photogrammetry, and LiDAR-based mapping for government and private clients — directly comparable to GGI's aerial topography and drone imagery work, with an overlapping technology and customer base.
• Kier & Wright: Kier & Wright is a California-based civil engineering and land surveying firm offering boundary, topographic, ALTA, and construction surveying across Northern and Southern California, directly comparable to GGI's licensed-surveyor-led, multi-sector California practice.

Emerging players

• DroneDeploy: DroneDeploy is a drone-data capture and processing platform used by surveying and construction firms for aerial mapping, progress monitoring, and orthomosaics — an emerging software-and-workflow player intersecting GGI's drone-imagery and aerial-topography services with a scaling SaaS model that pressures traditional per-project survey fees.
