Every successful construction project starts with one critical element—accurate layout.

Before foundations are poured, roads are built, utilities are installed, or buildings take shape, contractors rely on precise survey information to ensure every component is placed exactly where the plans intend.

Calton Land Surveying Services provides professional Construction Layout Surveys throughout New Castle, Lawrence County, and surrounding Western Pennsylvania communities. We work closely with contractors, engineers, developers, architects, municipalities, and property owners to provide accurate layout staking that helps projects stay on schedule, within budget, and built correctly.

Using advanced GPS technology and robotic surveying equipment, we deliver the precision your construction project demands.

What Is a Construction Layout Survey?

A Construction Layout Survey—also known as construction staking or site layout—transfers engineering and architectural plans from paper to the field.

Using approved design plans, our survey team establishes the exact locations where construction improvements should be built.

Construction layout may include:

• Building corners
• Foundation locations
• Roads
• Curbs
• Sidewalks
• Parking lots
• Utility lines
• Stormwater systems
• Retaining walls
• Property improvements
• Grading reference points
• Elevation benchmarks

Accurate layout helps ensure construction is completed according to the approved design.
