Do you need help planning, executing, and managing your next project?  Percheron can help!

Percheron’s team of FAA Licensed UAS pilots, combined with our Land Surveying Department’s full suite of traditional surveying services and Licensed Surveyors, offer a unique opportunity to integrate aerial and survey quality deliverables to our clients. From mission planning to raw collection, post-processing to QA/QC, and final deliverables, we do it all in-house! 

Our team can more efficiently and accurately capture data to give you complete insight into your facilities, pipelines, electric transmission lines, or roadways. Our state-of-the-art fleet is capable of flying lower and employs higher resolution sensors for video, still images, and LiDAR imagery compared to traditional manned aerial options. 

In many states across the US, aerial imagery, mapping, and even GIS are considered surveying, and only licensed survey companies can legally produce these deliverables. Percheron’s position as an integrated services company with survey licenses nationwide allows us to execute the work efficiently and legally. 

By combining UAS technology and services with our full-service Land Surveying Department, Percheron provides industry-leading services to the pipeline, E&P, electrical T&D, solar, wind, cellular, federal/state/local agencies, and real estate development companies. For close-up inspections and surveys of fixed assets such as power and electrical infrastructure, cell towers, and facilities, Percheron’s UAS team can provide detailed deliverables faster and safer than traditional methods.

When it comes to land management, you need service that meets your standards, your needs, and your project timeline—even in the most complex cases. That’s why Percheron only offers the most experienced professionals to handle all projects across the country. On every assignment, our dedicated experts are able to leverage a complete range of fully integrated resources to keep you on track. It’s the kind of attention to detail that keeps delays, surprises and worries out of the land management process.

Now more than ever, companies are looking for service providers that help them save money without sacrificing quality. That’s why Percheron completes all of your projects needs with no extra expenses. We manage your title most efficiently, utilizing online resources to save our clients additional field costs such as per diem and mileage.

When online resources are not available, Percheron strives to hire locally, giving familiarity to the project area and capitalizing on project savings to the client. All title packages are reviewed through our centralized corporate office in Katy, TX, providing consistency on all project deliverables across the country. Because of our centralized approach, we remove all field-related expenses (such as per diem and mileage) from our in-house title agents’ rates, which allows our clients to see cost savings of up to 30%.

Through the use of online and local resources, Percheron can ramp up projects quickly and identify key stakeholders early in the process without additional costs for mobilization. We provide project kick-off meetings specific to title to address key project needs and state laws for the particular project area. Because of our in-house setting, we are able to easily transition title agents off and on projects as needed by the client.

Our industry-certified agents bring focused expertise in title with a wide range of project experience. They regularly complete title courses taught by seasoned experts to develop their skill sets further.  We create efficiencies by applying a standardized approach to all title projects while adapting to each county's specific limitations and requirements.  These efficiencies shave days off the project schedule, equating to substantial savings.

Due to our unique in-house setting, we are also able to offer our clients alternative pricing schemes: (1) time and materials or (2) per parcel pricing.         

Percheron is always open to performing title work under either pricing scheme.  While a time and materials approach provides a usual and customary way of requesting title work, we believe that per-parcel pricing will streamline the way title work is ordered, performed, and delivered while eliminating budget risks.  Under per-parcel pricing, we also may be able to offer additional discounts when a high volume of title work is ordered.
