Changing the Landscape of the Land Surveying Industry: Technology's New Role

By: Gavin Bacchus, VP of Research & Development

Land surveying is an essential step in the residential construction process. It requires precision, timeliness, and accuracy. In the past, the residential landing surveying process included large crews and long timeframes. Innovation continues to drive residential land surveying technology. From drone usage, GPS and mobile 3D mapping to on-demand data access, the future of land surveying remains strong.

An Innovation Mindset

In the recent survey report: “CEO Business Leadership Survey 2020,” completed by Impact International, 89% of organizations agree or strongly agree that they will need to invest more in innovation due to shifting market conditions. Investing in innovation has been at the core of Carter + Clark’s R&D efforts since the beginning. In fact, the increased demand for client insight into the surveying process, and the desire for continuous process improvement, laid the foundation for implementing enhanced technology solutions throughout our company.

With a mindset for innovation, our R&D team remains focused on providing value to our customers – external and internal.
