Strayer Surveying & Mapping, Inc.

What Strayer Surveying & Mapping, Inc. does

Strayer Surveying & Mapping, Inc. was a Southwest Florida land surveying firm founded in 1987 and headquartered in Venice, FL. On May 26, 2022, its assets were acquired by Bennett-Panfil, Inc. (BPI Surveying), a Sarasota-based surveying company, and Strayer ceased to operate as an independent entity; the Strayer client base and regional reputation were folded into BPI's operations at 742 Shamrock Boulevard, Venice, FL 34293.

The combined BPI/Strayer operation delivers a full suite of professional surveying services: ALTA/NSPS land title surveys and land development; construction surveying and support (layout, foundation surveys, utility stakeout, as-builts); residential surveys (boundary, builder lot packages, elevation certificates, mortgage surveys, tree locations); subdivision plats; hydrographic surveying (bathymetric, tidal boundary, coastal construction control line); and aerial LiDAR and photogrammetry. The technical stack centers on DJI drones for aerial capture, Trimble total stations, 3D laser scanners, GPS equipment, LiDAR, and photogrammetry, deployed for high-precision mapping and 3D modeling across residential, commercial, and coastal projects. A dedicated Drone Program was launched in March 2023 to expand aerial data collection and real-time project monitoring.

The business is a project-based professional services firm. Revenue is generated through quote-based engagements priced by scope, complexity, and survey type, with customers acquired primarily through direct channels: a website quote-request form, phone inquiries, and walk-in consultations at the Venice office. Customers include individual homeowners, residential builders and developers, construction firms (e.g., Adams Homes, D. Saladino Construction), and enterprise project partners (Rock Star Pools on the St. Regis Longboat Key Resort; Farley Funeral Home on the Venice Memorial Gardens expansion). Service coverage spans Sarasota, Charlotte, Manatee, DeSoto, Lee, and Hillsborough counties in Southwest Florida, with stated willingness to travel statewide for specific projects.
