Our relationships with national and local home builders as well as commercial developers often times begin during the land use review process.

Many of the stormwater ponds throughout Florida are too deep for a surveyor to wade into and are too small for a boat. FDC's solution is a remote controlled survey grade sonar boat. The boat has a military grade sonar that talks to our GPS systems. As the boat is remotely driven around the water body it is recording depth readings. The data is then processed by our office staff and can be used for asbuilt information, topographic data, cost estimates, etc. The use of the sonar boat has substantially reduced costs as compared to traditional survey methods.

At FDC, we understand what it's like to be part of a community and we provide a full-suite of services to help community developers and home builders provide that sense of community to their customers.
