The Terrane construction division was no longer “two weeks from everywhere” but instead setting the regional standard with our agile response, taking cycle time to the next level for many of our clients, contractors, and trusted construction partners.

Arguably, the most critical and easily overlooked element of construction project management is the survey component, often set aside or forgotten until the last minute to coordinate materials, subcontractors, permitting, and inspections. These frenetic, last-minute calls to retain construction survey services prompted our team to act, scale our operations accordingly, and cut industry-standard cycle times to a fraction of the status quo.

Our first task was to understand the client/contractor requirements based on their overall project cycle times and to scale our services accordingly. With Terrane’s powerful proprietary scheduling software, we found we could adjust each element of the overall project cycle time at the single-task level, refining and streamlining these tasks into a cohesive site-visit framework designed for maximum efficacy with little to no lag for the client or our overall systems. Key to this was the initial response time to survey requests. With careful, deliberate administration, the team consistently responded to all survey requests within minutes of initial contact, enabling real-time coordination of project site visits and affording clients peace of mind knowing we were actively working towards their goals.

With this first and most important step completed, our team was then able to assign tasks appropriately, schedule initial and follow-up visits, and get the field crews’ “boots on the ground” in the time it would take most survey firms just to return the initial phone call or email. This, combined with our proprietary software and processes, enabled us to consistently deliver on-site construction services within 48 hours or less. Once these systems and processes were in place, the Terrane construction division was no longer “two weeks from everywhere” but instead set the regional standard with our agile response, taking cycle time to the next level for many of our clients, contractors, and trusted construction partners.

Tight turn, big results.

You’re trying to keep the job moving, and now you’re staring down topo, ALTA, and boundary survey requirements, and no one’s giving you a straight answer.

Helping the Housing Crisis

Homes of all shapes and sizes are seeing incredibly low inventory, demand is overwhelming supply, driving prices up. A land surveying company has little impact on balancing this out overall, but there are available measures to help.
