Resolve Property Challenges with Certified Land Surveys

Licensed surveyors serving the Quad Cities with AutoCAD deliverables

Abbitt Survey & Development, PLLC brings licensed land surveying expertise to the Quad Cities and surrounding region, with deep experience in Mississippi River corridor floodplain properties and 100-year flood zone documentation. Whether you're managing a boundary dispute, planning new home construction, navigating commercial property transactions, or qualifying for flood insurance, you need precise boundary recovery and regulatory-compliant data. The firm serves property owners, developers, architects, engineers, and real estate professionals across Illinois and Iowa with surveys designed to meet specific project and compliance requirements.


When you're facing a fencing improvement, site development, or title clearance, understanding your property's exact boundaries and elevation becomes essential. The right survey connects your immediate need—whether it's resolving an encroachment question or satisfying a lender's title insurance requirement—to the regulatory framework that governs land use in this region. You receive documentation that moves your project forward while meeting the standards expected by municipalities, insurers, and financial institutions.


Abbitt Survey approaches every assignment with the technical rigor that defines professional land surveying. You work directly with licensed surveyors who apply GPS-based methods and deliver certified documentation tailored to your property's unique conditions and your project's specific objectives.

Documentation and Delivery Standards

Every survey begins with precise boundary recovery using GPS technology,

followed by thorough field measurement and data processing that produces AutoCAD deliverables suited to your project type. Licensed land surveyors coordinate site visits, data collection, and documentation preparation to ensure you receive certified results that satisfy regulatory requirements. FEMA compliance drives elevation certificate work, while subdivision and condominium surveys follow platting standards established by local jurisdictions.


Construction layout staking translates design plans into field markers, giving contractors the reference points needed to build accurately. As-built documentation captures what was constructed, and design support surveys provide the base data architects and engineers require before drafting begins. You know what to expect at each stage, and the final deliverable reflects the precision this work demands.


  • The firm's survey capabilities address the most common property and development needs throughout the region:
  • Certified boundary identification that resolves encroachment questions and supports property line agreements
  • Topographic mapping that captures existing site conditions for grading, drainage, and infrastructure design
  • FEMA elevation certificates and LOMA applications that determine flood zone classification and insurance requirements
  • Legal descriptions and easement surveys prepared for title companies, attorneys, and municipal approval
