Surveying at Gosling Czubak

Gosling Czubak’s survey department serves a variety of clients including commercial, residential, architectural, oil and gas, telecommunications, industrial, utility, and municipal. Working throughout Michigan, we provide surveying services for property, site development, geodetic control, construction, road, bathymetric and hydrographic projects.

  • Boundary & ALTA Surveys

    For over six decades, Gosling Czubak has provided property owners with boundary, land division surveys, and ALTA surveys. With are extensive in-house records, our surveyors can research property boundaries efficiently, helping reduce the cost and the time to complete the surveys and the associated legal descriptions and drawings.

  • Construction Staking

    Our surveyors have provided layout and construction staking for a variety of projects in Michigan for decades. Work includes construction staking for roads, buildings, shopping malls, water and sewer utilities, communications, and natural gas facilities. Our quality control methods and rapid response save both time and money for owners and contractors.

  • Easement Surveys

    Our surveyors create, identify and mark the boundaries of the easement, ensuring that it complies with legal requirements and accurately reflects the extent of permissible use. Detailed maps and documentation are typically produced, detailing the location, dimensions, and specific terms of the easement for both the easement holder and property owners' reference. These easements grant specific rights of access and use over private or public land for the installation, maintenance, and operation of utility infrastructure such as pipelines, electrical lines, or telecommunications cables.

  • Oil & Gas

    For more than 60 years, we have provided surveying and permitting services for thousands of oil and gas wells throughout Michigan and staked hundreds of miles of pipelines. We also regularly provide construction staking for facilities, mapping of existing facilities, underground utility locating, and soil borings for groundwater determination.

  • Plats & Condos

    Gosling Czubak has helped developers create, establish, and record hundreds of plats, condominiums, and condominium subdivisions in Northern Michigan. We work with developers to maximize the return on their investment while providing aesthetically pleasing and functional projects that are assets to the community.

  • Riparian Surveys

    Riparian surveys involve apportioning and projecting water rights into bodies of water, such as rivers, streams, and lakes. These surveys are critical for determining water usage rights, and responsibilities concerning water frontage and watercourses. Riparian surveys are essential for property transactions, development planning, environmental management, and legal disputes involving water rights and land adjacent to water bodies.

  • Topographic Surveys

    Gosling Czubak has prepared thousands of topographic surveys for projects ranging from individual lots to parcels of land larger than 1,000 acres. These surveys, performed by robotic total station, terrestrial laser scanning, UAS based LiDAR, and GPS methods have established us as an industry leader.
