It was wonderful to have so many Holmes Geospatial staff from all our offices together yesterday for a team-building day. Between Josh’s quarterly State of the Company presentation, lunch from Jose’s Taco Truck, the raffle, and a few rounds of games, we spent a fun afternoon catching up. Days like this remind us how lucky we are to work alongside such great people.

What's hiding inside your slab or wall? Rebar. Conduits. Post-tension cables. None of it visible — all of it capable of turning a cut into a costly repair. Our SUI team's concrete scanning solutions give contractors the information they need before cutting, coring, drilling, or anchoring: what's inside, and where. Better decisions. Fewer conflicts. No damage to critical components.

Steep slopes. Active construction. Structures with limited access. That's where our remote sensing team can help.

Holmes Geospatial uses UAS technology to capture what ground crews often can't safely or easily access:
🔹High-resolution video and imagery
🔹As-built documentation
🔹Marketing and promotional content
🔹Progress tracking on your schedule — weekly, monthly, or yearly

Safer inspections. Better documentation. Same trusted team.

Not every survey project begins with a property line. Sometimes, it begins on a manufacturing floor—where precision leaves little room for error.

When Timberlab needed help with an unconventional layout project at its Greenville mass timber facility, Holmes Geospatial was happy to assist.

Our team provided precision survey layout for manufacturing jigs used in the fabrication of structural mass timber beams. These jigs serve as positioning guides, helping Timberlab place and assemble large timber components consistently and accurately. Precise jig placement is essential to maintaining production quality, reducing rework, and ensuring the finished components align properly when installed in the field.

This project is an example of how surveying extends beyond traditional property boundaries. We’re proud to apply our expertise in a new way and support Timberlab’s innovative mass timber operations.

Thank you to the Timberlab team for trusting Holmes Geospatial with this unique project.

Our firm recently completed a stream stabilization verification project for SOX Erosion Solutions® at Sapphire Valley Country Club. SOX Erosion Solutions delivers a suite of patented erosion control systems designed to stabilize shorelines and hillsides, while improving water quality; providing sustainable solutions for lasting impact.

Our Project Scope: ~500 linear feet of stream corridor.

Goal: document the current conditions of their erosion control system for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers review.

Our solutions combined:
✅ Aerial LiDAR + orthophotography
✅ Traditional stream bed survey for precise channel geometry
✅ Unified topographic mapping package — USACE submission-ready

We provided an integrated topographic map and orthophoto deliverable covering the full ~500-foot treated stream reach, providing SOX Erosion Solutions with an accurate, current-condition baseline purpose-built for regulatory verification. The project reflects our commitment to combining integrated solutions to meet each client's unique needs.
