Land Services
 When a major infrastructure improvement is planned, the first step is often the acquisition of right-of-way and the moving of interfering utilities. One dilemma that must be overcome is to acquire enough right-of-way to construct the project while impacting the adjacent property owners as little as possible. This often requires a detailed coordination between design and land services.
GUERNSEY understands the inherent needs for quality land services. Our staff integrates potential right-of-way and utility relocation issues into the design process from the initiation of the project. This aids in early identification of potential problems, for which there is often a design solution that will eliminate or reduce the impact all parties involved.

- Preliminary title and existing right-of-way research
