Deed Research, Civil 3D Point Imports, ALTA Records & 811 Locate Tracking

Keep Field Crews Rolling. Let a Dedicated Land Surveying Virtual Assistant Handle Research & CAD Data Prep.

Licensed Professional Surveyors (PLS) and survey project managers lose 20+ billable hours every week pulling county deeds, compiling title commitment exception documents, sorting raw GNSS total station point files, ordering 811 utility tickets, and pulling FEMA FIRMette flood maps. Delegate your back-office research and CAD drafting prep to a skilled assistant supervised by a dedicated Project Manager at $0 extra management cost.

End-to-End Land Surveying Operations

What Your Land Surveying Virtual Assistant Manages

Free your licensed land surveyors and party chiefs from repetitive record pulls, file conversions, and administrative follow-ups so they can focus on high-value field work and final stamp approvals.

County Deed & Plat Records Research

Stop spending hours navigating clunky county recorder and clerk portals. Your VA gathers subject parcel warranty deeds, chains of title, adjoiner deeds, recorded subdivision plats, right-of-way maps, and historical survey records into organized digital project binders.

Adjoiner property deed extracts and parcel boundary cross-referencing
NGS benchmark datasheets and OPUS control point compilation

AutoCAD Civil 3D & Carlson Point Prep

Accelerate turnaround times on boundary and topo drafts. Your VA imports raw field collector files (.csv, .txt, .job), reformats PNEZD point groups, configures field-to-finish linework codes, assigns standard layer templates, and cleans up raw survey shots before final drafting.

Surface TIN generation and topographic contour line verification
Boundary closure checks (traverse misclosure calculations & report logs)

ALTA / NSPS Title Exception Tracking

Streamline complex commercial title surveys. Your VA meticulously reviews title commitment Schedule B-II exceptions, flags plottable vs. blanket easements, coordinates title company document requests, and maintains Table A client specification checklists.

Table A optional item compliance tracking (parking counts, heights, zoning)
Assembling comprehensive ALTA title exception matrices for surveyor review

811 Utility Locate Coordination

Prevent field crew delays caused by unpainted utility markings. Your assistant submits 811 dig tickets across state one-call systems, monitors positive response clearance portals, schedules ticket renewals prior to expiration, and contacts non-responsive utility locators.

Tracking private utility locating contractor quotes and appointments
Logging markout completion photos into field crew job folders

FEMA FIRMette & Elevation Certificates

Expedite flood insurance surveys and building compliance packages. Your VA downloads official FEMA FIRMette flood hazard maps, extracts Base Flood Elevations (BFE), populates Section A & B of the FEMA Elevation Certificate (Form FF-206-FY-22-152), and arranges field photo sheets.

Verification of community number, panel suffix, and effective flood zone date
Pre-populating structural diagrams and lowest finished floor elevation fields

Field Crew Scheduling & Proposal Intake

Keep your project pipeline full and operations running smoothly. Your VA handles inbound quote inquiries, drafts fee proposals based on your parcel acre rates, schedules field survey crews based on equipment and weather windows, and follows up on outstanding retainer invoices.

Property owner site access notices and gate code confirmations
Invoicing, milestone billing tracking, and final signed plat PDF deliverable packaging

Practitioner Feedback

Trusted by Licensed Professional Surveyors & Geomatics Leaders

See how land surveying firms scale their project output and dispatch efficiency without adding expensive onshore drafting overhead.

Boundary & Topo Survey Firm (Orlando, FL)

"Before SageDoer, our party chiefs spent their first 90 minutes every morning searching county property appraiser websites and ordering 811 tickets. Now, their digital field job package is 100% prepared the night before with all adjoiner deeds and plat books organized. It's added at least one extra field shoot per crew every single day."

David Whitlock, PLS

Principal, SunCoast Geomatics

Commercial ALTA Specialists (Houston, TX)

"We took on a 14-site commercial portfolio that needed ALTA/NSPS surveys in 30 days. Our SageDoer assistant organized all Schedule B-II title commitments, pulled recorded easements, and set up our Civil 3D point files with standard layer templates. Having our dedicated Project Manager verify the deliverables before our CAD lead stepped in was invaluable."

Brian Martinez, RPLS

Managing Director, Lone Star Land Surveying

Civil Engineering & Survey (Denver, CO)

"Managing 811 utility locate tickets across three counties was becoming an operational nightmare. SageDoer took over ticket filing, positive response verification, and private locate follow-ups. We haven't had a single crew delayed on-site in six months."

Courtney Gallagher, PE, PLS

Partner, Apex Land Consultants

Residential Platting Practice (Charlotte, NC)

"Our VA handles all initial client proposal requests, pulls the GIS tax cards, calculates acreages, and prepares the FEMA flood certificates. For $6 an hour with zero management fees, our practice has doubled its proposal output while keeping overhead completely flat."

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About Hiring a Land Surveying Virtual Assistant?

Clear answers regarding CAD protocols, deed research workflows, data privacy, and dedicated Project Manager supervision.

Yes. Our assistants are proficient at navigating various county recorder, clerk of court, and GIS parcel portals across the United States and Canada (such as Tyler Technologies, GovOS, COTT Systems, ACRIS, and LandShark). They locate subject deeds, warranty deeds, adjoiner deeds, recorded subdivision plats, right-of-way maps, and road dedication records, organizing them into structured project folders with clear PDF naming conventions.

Your assistant can import raw field point files (.csv, .txt, .asc) in standard formats (such as PNEZD or PENZD), establish point groups, configure field-to-finish linework codes, build surface TINs, apply your firm's drawing templates (.dwt), clean up text overlaps, and insert standard title blocks. Final boundary determination and professional stamping remain strictly under the direction of your Licensed Professional Surveyor (PLS).

Your dedicated Project Manager provides quality control at $0 extra management cost. The PM conducts secondary checks on research packages to verify that all referenced adjoiner deeds and plat volumes are present, validates point file formatting against your CAD drafting standards, coordinates daily task handoffs, and ensures deadlines are consistently met.

Your assistant submits web locate tickets through your state’s 811 one-call web portal, entering the exact parcel description, marking instructions, and excavation window. They monitor positive response systems, flag non-compliant utility operators, track ticket renewal deadlines prior to expiration, and compile all locate confirmation records into your field crew's project dossier.

None. We offer transparent pricing with zero lock-in contracts: $7/hour for Part-Time (20 hrs/week) and $6/hour for Full-Time (40 hrs/week). There are no onboarding fees, recruitment charges, or termination penalties. You can easily adjust your engagement as seasonal field volumes fluctuate.
