Business Overview:

This land surveying firm founded in 2006 and based in King County, Washington, has been providing construction staking and site-layout surveying to general contractors, homebuilders, and site-development contractors along the Puget Sound I-5 corridor (Thurston County to southern Snohomish County). Roughly 98% of revenue is construction survey work. The practice is owner-operated with a two-decade, referral-driven book of repeat construction clients, no debt, no lease, and minimal overhead. Offered as an asset sale at $325,000, including approximately $60,000 of equipment and vehicles.

Property Features and Assets:

<p>Home-based. No commercial office or lease to assume and no real estate included. The operation is relocatable within its service area; a buyer may fold it into an existing office or continue the home-based model without interruption to clients.<br></p><p>Assets = $60,000</p>

Market Competition and Expansion:

<p>Highly fragmented market of small independent surveying practices and the in-house survey departments of larger engineering firms. Washington PLS licensure is a barrier to entry and the licensed workforce is aging (more surveyors retiring than entering), which favors established firms. This company competes on long-standing referral relationships, licensure, low overhead / competitive pricing, and equipment already in place.<br></p><p>Add field staff or a second crew to take on volume the owners currently decline; establish a website and basic digital marketing (currently none); broaden service lines (ALTA surveys, platting, drone/UAV mapping); cross-sell through an acquirers existing engineering or construction client base; pursue municipal and public-works contracts supported by federal infrastructure funding; and capture share as surveyors exit the field. The work is durable and largely insulated from AI/automation displacement.<br></p>

Additional Details:
