Guida works closely with the design engineer to perform cadastral and title research and land net mapping that supports the overall engineering project, aids in the development of right of way requirements, and provides the supporting acquisition survey support to assist the project owner in acquiring the requisite fee and/or easement rights.

Cadstral & Title Research

Guida’s staff brings hundreds of years of land surveying experience combined; this includes performing cadastral and title research to support property acquisition and development. Understanding the history of a parcel of land is imperative in establishing existing boundary lines and developing new right of way.

Land Net Survey

Guida provides detailed land net surveys to tell the story of property ownership for any right of way project. It provides the client with existing property ownership, rights of way, easements, encumbrances, etc.

Acquisition Support

Guida understands that whether to support fee or easement acquisitions, there are many methods and documents used to acquire property. From appraisal mapping, legal descriptions and plats, or condemnation exhibits, Guida is well versed in what is required for both public and private projects.

Condemnation

Guida has prepared condemnation packages for various clients and understands what is required to meet the rigorous legal requirements. When an impasse is reached between property owner and project owner, condemnation is a method of obtaining property rights for a public improvement project.
