Rounding out National Surveyors Week by celebrating the team that makes it all happen 👏

Our full-time crew at OTM puts in the work day in and day out. These are the people getting it done every single day—long hours, attention to detail, and pride in their work. It doesn’t go unnoticed.

We’re lucky to have this crew, and we wouldn’t be where we are without them. 💪

What are the two most common phone calls we get?

👉 ‘Can you just come mark my corners?’
👉 ‘I only need one line marked.’

These photos are exactly why we don’t do that.
Let’s play a quick game of I-spy… how many monuments can you spot in each one? 👀

Now imagine we skipped the full boundary survey and just “picked one.”
How would you know it was the right one?

This is why we stress in every conversation: the minimum survey we perform is a full boundary survey. We’re not cutting corners—because that creates liability for both you and us.

DID YOU KNOW?! 👀

Each year, NSPS - The National Society of Professional Surveyors hosts a student competition featuring university teams from across the United States and its territories. Participants use a mix of modern and historic surveying equipment to complete exercises and challenges beneath the shadow of the Washington Monument. Students also take part in a Monument Hunt, searching for historic survey markers throughout Washington, D.C., and the surrounding areas.

This competition gives students the opportunity to test their skills before entering the workforce, while also connecting with NSPS Young Surveyors Network members to learn more about the opportunities available after graduation.

Our very own Nolan Mark is the Co-Chair of the Student Competition! He is involved throughout the entire planning process and gets to be there in D.C. as well to join the fun!.

National Surveyors Week is all about celebrating the profession and building its future. 📐
This week, we had the chance to connect with a local high school student who reached out to learn more about surveying. We brought out some of our equipment and gave him a look at the drafting side of things as well.
Always a great time showing the next generation what surveying is all about!

The new ALTA/NSPS standards are live! We’re partnering closely with our clients to ensure a smooth transition and making sure the updated Table A items are properly selected and utilized moving forward.

If you have any questions about the changes or how they may impact your projects, we’re here to help every step of the way.

The 2026 ALTA/NSPS Standards are now in effect (February 23). If you work with land title surveys, this update is worth your time.

What’s changed and why does it matter?

▪️ Surveyor-driven updates
Nearly all revisions came from the NSPS side rather than ALTA. Since 1988, the goal has been to clarify requirements without increasing unnecessary liability for surveyors.

▪️ Language that reflects modern technology
References to work being “performed on the ground” have been replaced with methodologies “acceptable to the surveying profession.” This better accommodates drones, LiDAR, and future technologies as they become standard practice.

▪️ Liability remains a priority
All changes were reviewed by E&O insurance providers to ensure no uninsurable risk was introduced.

The 2026 Standards officially replace the 2021 version.

If you’re involved in ALTA/NSPS surveys, this is well worth a read:
