William C. Darling Jr.
has operated as a professionally licensed land surveyor in New York State since 2016 and has
over 25 years of land surveying experience in New York State. This business continues a family tradition, started in 1978 by William C. Darling Sr., of providing licensed land surveying services to the residents of Rensselaer County and the greater Capital District.
This local experience in determining property boundary lines is combined with Leica brand precision equipment to

All aspects of every land survey are performed directly by a licensed land surveyor. This includes the research of the public land records, the field survey to locate the existing boundary evidence, the analytical computations to determine the boundary line location, the detailed mapping and the setting of property markers.

Property Improvments
When installing a fence or a shed, or building a garage or an addition, it may be a municipal requirement to first have the property surveyed and the property lines marked. Our survey services will be provided and completed on time to keep your project on schedule.
Subdivision and Land Development
A subdivision can be anything from dividing off a parcel of land to give to a family member, to dividing a large acreage parcel
into several lots to be sold. We can assist you through the various steps of the process: initial survey, lot sizing and layout, local regulations,
applications, planning and zoning board meetings.
Topographic Surveys
We have experience providing detailed topographic survey and mapping services for architects & engineers to support various designs including: septic systems, driveways, roads, parking lots, building construction and building renovation.
Why Should I Hire a Land Surveyor?
It is important to consider the services of a licensed land surveyor if you are buying, selling, mortgaging or subdividing property,
or building a fence, shed, garage, addition or other structure on your property.
What is your service area?
Rensselaer County continues to be our primary service area; along with Albany, Saratoga and Schenectady Counties.
For large acreage surveys we service an expanded area including parts of Columbia, Fulton, Greene, Montgomery, Schoharie and Washington Counties.
How much will my survey cost?
The cost to perform a boundary survey is dependent upon the time it takes to perform all of the tasks required to
complete the survey. The complexity of the survey can be effected by the clarity of the deed descriptions, amount
of physical evidence found in the field, accessibility to the property, the terrain and the size and shape of the
parcel being surveyed. Contact us for a free quote for your specific survey needs.
