What Does a Survey for Engineering Firms Include?
Every site development project starts with a survey. Before your firm can design a site plan, grade a lot, or stake a building, someone has to go into the field and collect the data. How that data comes back to you makes all the difference.
DMC Henry is a dual-licensed Registered Professional Land Surveyor (RPLS) and Professional Engineer (PE) in Texas. That combination is rare — and it matters. Most surveyors only hold an RPLS license. Because DMC Henry is also a licensed engineer, he understands exactly what your firm needs: the right coordinate system, the correct benchmark datum, clean CAD files, and deliverables that work with your software from day one.
Engineering firms across North and East Texas use DMC Henry as their trusted survey subcontractor. Whether you need a topographic survey before site design, an ALTA survey for a commercial closing, or consistent construction staking through every phase of your project, we deliver data that is clean, reliable, and ready to use — without the back-and-forth that slows projects down.
What’s Included?
Design-Ready Topo & Boundary Surveys
We collect field data and hand it back in AutoCAD-compatible formats with proper horizontal and vertical control already established. Your design team can open the file and start working — no reformatting, no missing benchmarks, no calls back to the surveyor asking what datum was used.
Horizontal & Vertical Control Networks
Large-scale site work needs a solid control network as its foundation. We establish and certify control points using GPS and total station equipment, giving your engineers a stable base that carries through every phase of the project.
Construction Staking & Layout
From clearing stakes to final grade checks, we stay with your project through construction. We coordinate directly with your general contractor to stake buildings, utilities, grades, and alignments — keeping everything on plan from start to finish.
ALTA/NSPS & Pre-Design Survey Packages
Commercial lenders, title companies, and developers rely on ALTA surveys before a deal can close. We also put together pre-design packages that bundle boundary, topographic, and utility location data so your engineers have everything they need before design kicks off.
Industries We Serve
Engineering firms work across a wide range of project types — and so do we. Here is where DMC Henry regularly delivers survey work:
Civil Site Development Site plans, grading design, utility layout, and stormwater drainage for commercial and residential developments. We deliver the topo and boundary data your civil engineers need before the first line gets drawn.
Commercial Real Estate & Development ALTA surveys, boundary work, and pre-closing survey packages for brokers, developers, title companies, and lenders across DFW and East Texas.
Residential Subdivision & Homebuilding Plat surveys, lot staking, and phased construction surveys for homebuilders and residential developers. We keep pace with production schedules.
Oil, Gas & Pipeline ROW alignment surveys, pipeline corridor mapping, well pad staking, and easement plats for midstream and upstream energy companies across East Texas.
Municipal & Government Projects Control surveys, right-of-way surveys, and topographic data packages for cities, counties, utility districts, and TxDOT-adjacent infrastructure work.
Infrastructure & Transportation Survey control, horizontal alignment staking, and as-built documentation for road improvements, bridge approaches, and drainage corridor projects.
Industrial & Manufacturing As-built surveys, site control, and layout surveys for warehouses, manufacturing plants, logistics facilities, and large industrial sites.

When Do Engineering Firms Call Us?
If your firm handles site development, commercial real estate, infrastructure, or any project that starts with field data, you need a survey subcontractor you can count on. Here are the most common times engineering firms reach out to DMC Henry:
- Your firm just won a new site project and design cannot start until topo data is in hand.
- A commercial lender or title company is requiring an ALTA survey before the deal can close.
- Construction has started and you need reliable staking through every phase of the build.
- Your project deliverables require certified horizontal and vertical control that your team does not have the equipment to establish.
- You’ve worked with surveyors before who handed back files that didn’t load correctly in your CAD software, and you need someone who gets it right the first time.
- Your firm is taking on a pipeline, ROW, or energy project in East Texas and needs a licensed RPLS and PE in the region.
