Successful surveying projects depend on accuracy, consistency, and reliable results. Percheron is one of the few names in the field that has the capabilities to make it happen. Our employees are licensed experts who not only represent a vast amount of industry knowledge but they also work to understand your specific business and project needs.

From right-of-way acquisition surveys to complex plant surveys, we do it all to ensure your project demands are consistently met.   And because we employ extensive quality assurance processes and utilize the industry’s leading software and technology, we’re able to deliver superior results—even when deadlines are tight.

At Percheron, we utilize the latest technology, equipment, and software to help deliver superior results. Where others might cut corners, we continually invest in the most current resources available to the industry—such as Trimble RTK Global Positioning Systems and unmanned aerial systems. In addition, our technicians are experienced in the preparation of drawings in AutoCAD™, Skyline™ Sheet Generating software, and GIS. Our field and office staff are also able to prepare digital terrain models and right-of-way maps on difficult schedules utilizing our automated software.

Percheron professionals also excel in managing the acquisition of high-resolution airborne laser mapping (LIDAR – Light Detection and Ranging) and aerial photogrammetric mapping for large projects.

Percheron has a fully staffed Land Administration Department (“LAD”) that works from our centralized office in Katy, Texas. Our LAD group works in tandem with our right of way agents, title abstractors, surveyors, and GIS to generate documents, send mass mailouts, manage data, and record documents in the applicable county records. 

We set high expectations for our team to provide quality deliverables. LAD can control the work product and supervise the work even if the document specialist is in the field. Our teams’ refined processes ensure consistency and efficiency for your projects. In addition, we customize those processes to serve each client’s specific needs and expectations for project success. Our cutting-edge processes are established as best industry practices for our office, Percheron, and clients.

Percheron’s Land Administration Department has streamlined the document and check request process. With the aid of IT, LAD created an app for requesting documents to be generated and request checks processed through the department, along with any other agent request.
