🚨 SURVEYING MYTHBUSTER 🚨

“My county assessor map shows my property lines, so I know exactly where my property ends.”

❌ Not always true.

Many online county assessor maps show estimated property lines and are NOT considered legal surveys. While they’re helpful for general reference, they can sometimes be off by several feet — or more.

That mistake can quickly turn into:
⚠️ Fence disputes
⚠️ Building in the wrong spot
⚠️ Neighbor disagreements
⚠️ Expensive legal issues

A professional land survey is the only way to accurately determine your property boundaries.

Don’t trust an online map when thousands of dollars — and your property rights — are on the line.

🏗️ Did you know MECO Engineering now offers 3D Laser Scanning & Reality Capture Services?

If you're a homeowner, business owner, developer, contractor, or facility manager — this is for YOU!

Here's the simple version of what we do:

We walk through your building or property with our advanced scanner and create a perfect digital copy of it — down to 5mm accuracy. That means we can produce floor plans, as-built drawings, BIM models, and more from a single visit.

No guessing on dimensions. No expensive back-and-forth. Just accurate, reliable information about YOUR space — fast.

🔑 Here's how it helps YOU:

🏠 Thinking about renovating your home or business? We'll document exactly what exists so your contractor and designer are working from reality — not assumptions.

🏢 Own a commercial building with outdated or missing plans? We'll create them for you.

🏭 Running a warehouse or facility? We'll give your team an accurate record of every inch of your space.

🔨 Planning new construction? We'll verify your site conditions before you break ground — catching problems before they cost you.

At MECO, we've been serving this region for years across Civil, Structural, MEP, Architectural, and more. 3D scanning is just the latest way we're helping our community build smarter.

Let MECO help. Reach out today and let's talk about your project! 👇
