Construction support that keeps the site moving
Staking puts the design on the ground: building corners, roads and utilities. On an active site, being available keeps the work moving.
What’s included
Layout from the design
Building corners, road and utility alignments, staked from the design files.
Utilities and improvements
Water, sewer and storm lines, curb, walks and other site improvements, staked from the design.
As-builts
Foundation, utility and final as-builts showing what was actually built.
On call for the job
On a job we’re already staking, a re-stake is normally back in 1-3 days.
When you need one
- Breaking ground and need to confirm setback compliance
- A foundation as-built for lenders or inspections
- Laying out a new home, addition or garage on the lot
- Staking water, sewer or storm lines before they go in
- Final as-builts to close out a project or a permit
- A small development that needs a surveyor on call
Common questions
What is construction staking?
The staking we provide generally supports two goals. First, making sure what you build sits on your lot where it’s intended, in line with setbacks, buffers and any other zoning requirements. Second, helping make sure what you’ve designed is built to the design. Different projects have different needs, and we’ll always advise on what services make the most sense for yours.
Can you provide construction staking on a parcel you haven’t surveyed before?
Generally, yes, though there can be some added time and expense. On many projects, it’s in your interest to have the surveyor who did the original survey provide the construction layout.
Can you stake from our engineer’s files?
Yes. Send the design files and we’ll stake from them.
What do you need before you can stake?
Approved plans and site access. If the boundary isn’t settled, we’ll tell you before we mobilize.
