Commercial Surveying
Meridian provides comprehensive commercial surveying for infrastructure projects, including schools, bridges, and utility networks. Our team uses advanced GPS and robotic total stations to ensure precision in boundary mapping and construction staking. Clients benefit from rapid turnaround times and scalable solutions tailored to large-scale developments.
FEMA Elevation Certificates
We specialize in FEMA elevation certificates to determine flood insurance requirements. Our licensed surveyors use precise measurements to assess property risk and file LOMA requests for potential cost reductions. Emergency 48-hour service is available for urgent needs in Northern California.
3D HD Laser Scanning
Our 3D laser scanning creates detailed BIM models for construction and historical preservation. This technology captures millions of data points to produce accurate as-built drawings, reducing rework and project delays. Ideal for complex facilities and hazardous site assessments.
Settlement Monitoring
Meridian offers real-time settlement monitoring using StabiAlert sensors to track building movement. This service ensures structural safety during nearby construction and provides data for rapid post-earthquake reoccupation. Continuous 24/7 monitoring supports San Francisco's Building Occupancy Resumption Program.

Our principal surveyor provides expert witness testimony for property disputes and accident investigations. With over 30 years of experience, we deliver court-ready analysis of boundary issues, easements, and construction errors, supported by precise field data and digital exhibits.

Report
Was reaching out to them and was speaking with the representative that requested so many information that was provided through the email they were saying they are interested and they can take on this project. Unfortunately thy never respond back. Suddenly I was calling in and they were saying that their kindly cannot take more projects at the moment and thy refer us to the Yellow Pages to find a survey in Oakland.

Report
I have a degree in mechanical engineering and so I know a lot about what a good surveyor can and should do. I have always been impressed with the technical expertise that Stan Gray and the Meridian Survey team have brought to the projects they have worked on. I would be totally confident to continue use and recommend Meridian Survey for all my future projects. I know sometimes they get busy, but I would even rather wait a little longer to get them on my project because I know it will be done right and to the highest standards.
