Field surveys that the design can actually trust.
A route walk records what is there now — not what the record says was there. It is the cheapest hour on a project and the one that most often decides whether the design gets built once or twice.
What a survey covers
A crew walks or drives the proposed route and records the conditions the design will have to work around: existing poles and structures, what is already attached to them, clearances, obstructions, ground conditions, access, and the measurements the drawings will be dimensioned from.
Where a route crosses or runs along the right of way, the survey also captures what the eventual traffic control plan will need.
Why it comes first
Design drawn from records rather than observation is the usual reason a package comes back from a reviewer, or a crew arrives to find the route is not buildable as drawn. Surveying first moves that discovery to the point where changing the plan is still cheap.
What you receive
Field-collected route and structure data
Existing attachments, clearances and obstructions
Access notes and site conditions relevant to construction
A data set the OSP design picks up directly
Worth discussing before we start
Whether the route is fixed or still being chosen, whether any of it sits on private property or requires notice, what record data you already hold, and whether the survey is feeding a design we are producing or one your own team will draw.

Coverage
In Florida the work concentrates around Miami-Dade, Orange, Broward, Palm Beach, Brevard and Seminole, and reaches well beyond them.
Counties are named at county level only. Individual project locations are not published.

Send the route.
A KMZ, a sketch or an address range is enough to scope a survey.
Does every project need a field survey?
Not always. A short extension on plant you already hold accurate records for may not justify one. A new route, a relocation, or anything crossing a right of way almost always does — and where a reviewer expects field-verified information, submitting without it tends to cost more time than the survey would have.
If you are unsure, describe the scope and we will tell you honestly whether it is needed.
