Third Rock Geomatics is a professional land surveying company based in Calgary, AB, known for speed, transparency, and exceptional customer service.
We do our part to keep your construction project on schedule, within budget, and free from errors and misunderstandings.
Third Rock Geomatics provided various survey data for a commercial ground up construction for both pre-scheduled and last-minute requests.
They were responsive, fair, and very helpful with walking us through the data when we had questions. Would highly recommend. Thanks Mark and team!”
Construction surveying is about positioning a building before it exists—laying out piles, grade beams, grid lines, and slab edges so everything fits and functions as designed.
A job well done means preventing problems, rather than documenting them after the fact. A few centimetres can cost you a row of parking, squeeze your setbacks, or create issues with access and drainage.
For larger projects using piles, grade beams, and slab‑on‑grade, we work closely with your design team to translate engineering and architectural intent into clear, buildable layout on site.
Our first obligation is accuracy. Right behind that is timeliness, because we understand how expensive delays can be once trades are on site.
We work with your schedule to provide timely service so your project stays on track.
Our clients tell us we have the best-looking plans in the city! Our user‑friendly survey returns minimize confusion and strengthen confidence during construction projects.
We focus on clear labels, simple sketches, and practical notes so everyone on site can quickly see what needs to be built and where.
We take the time to understand your project and your constraints before we act. If something is outside our scope, or if there’s a better option for you, we’ll say so.
Our role is to give you solid, unbiased information so you can make confident decisions and keep the project moving.
Fast, flexible, responsive, and accurate. I highly recommend Mark and his team. He provided property markers, lot grading survey and staking for my small commercial project.
When we had questions, Mark was promptly available by phone/email and even attended the site after his crew had completed their work to make sure we had what we needed.”
Contact us to discuss your project. We’ll ask for the files we need to quote and plan construction surveying properly, typically including:
Once we review your drawings and schedule, we prepare a clear quote for the construction surveying phases you need—such as building layout, piles and grade beams, slab‑on‑grade checks, and any requested as‑built documentation.
Our survey team visits your site to establish or confirm control, then lay out grid lines, corners, piles, and grade beams as required. We mark locations clearly in the field so your crews can build confidently from our layout.
As excavation, forming, and slab work progress, you may need additional checks or layout. We can return to verify critical dimensions and elevations, support design changes, and update sketches so the plan and the build stay in alignment.
If you require documentation at key milestones, we can provide concise returns that show what was set out or built and where. Once the agreed work is complete and payment is received, we deliver your returns promptly so you can proceed to the next phase.
We serve as independent professionals.
Like architects and structural engineers, we’re involved at every phase—from planning and construction to providing final documentation at the project’s conclusion.
We provide detailed existing‑conditions surveys so your design team can plan grades, drainage, and site layout with confidence.
If your project involves creating or adjusting lots, we can manage subdivision and parcel modifications from initial concept through registration.
We prepare surveys and plans to support your development permit and related municipal applications, helping you avoid approval delays.
When construction is complete, we can prepare RPRs and related documentation, as well as offer land‑use and boundary consulting for future decisions.
Rely on experienced land surveyors to position your building correctly the first time—protecting your schedule, your budget, and your design intent.
Depending on your needs, we can provide building layout, pile and grade beam layout, slab‑on‑grade checks, control establishment, elevation checks, and selected as‑built checks for key structural elements. We’re happy to review your drawings and recommend an appropriate scope.
We use professional‑grade total stations, GNSS equipment, and field software suitable for modern construction sites. Our focus is not just meeting technical tolerances but providing layout that your crews can see, understand, and build from.
Timelines depend on project size, complexity, and coordination with other trades. Construction surveying is more custom than a standard residential Real Property Report for an existing home, so instead of a fixed “3–5 day” promise, we review your schedule and provide realistic timing as part of our quote.
Start by contacting us to discuss your project and share your survey, engineering, and architectural plans. From there, we’ll confirm your needs, outline a clear scope, and provide a fixed‑price quote and expected timeline.
