Geometrix Surveying Engineering

Lou Clem at Geometrix did a complicated survey at our home on the coast south of San Francisco in San Mateo County. When we contacted Lou for an initial estimate, he responded very promptly. Of all the surveyors we contacted, he understood best what we needed and was available to do the survey promptly. His bid was comparable with or lower than others whom we contacted.
Our survey was a border survey to determine our property boundaries prior to installing a perimeter fence. Completing the survey necessitated working around our contractor and his crew and braving dense shrubbery, including poison oak, and an unexpected absence of nearby boundary monuments. Lou navigated all of these obstacles with good humor and was both determined to get the job done right in a timely way and affably accommodating to our schedule and needs. He also patiently answered our questions about surveying, while also being focused in getting the work done. His maps of our property were easy to read and informative and we appreciated little extras he threw in at no added cost, such as marking where our solar panel array was closest to our property border and setting extra line markers where the fence will go, making it easy for the fencing contractor to install the fence.
We will likely have further survey needs in the future and we plan to reach out to Lou at Geometrix again at that time for further survey work. Five stars!

These guys were real pros helping us with our condo conversion. Not only did they help us with the required survey, Lou was real knowledgeable on the whole condo conversion process. what a bonus. I checked with several survey companies. Geometrix was competitively priced, easy to work with, and, perhaps most importantly, made the conversion process much easier.

A good friend recently hired Geometrix for a condo conversion. Lou was great, very knowledgable, explained what he was doing and why. He had been working on a big project, but was able to squeeze in our condo conversion. Price seemed to be very competitive with what was out there.

Professional, knowledgeable, — what else can be said that hasn’t already been said by the other reviewers? Property line? Condo conversion? Big job, little job — Lou is THE man when you need surveying!

Lou is sharp, punctual, responsive, and professional. He is honest and very knowledgeable about laws and regs in SF. I highly recommend his services. We are almost done with a condo conversion, and working with Lou was one of the easiest parts!

I recently hired Geometrix for a lot split. My attorney initially had recomended another survey company, but fortunately I called Geometrix just as a price check against the ‘recommended’ survey company. When the quote come back that was very competitive, I decided to go with Geometrix.
Geometrix is a rarity in the real estate /​contstruction /​permit business. They showed up when they said they would show up, they completed the project within the time they said they would (actually about a week early), and at the price they quoted!!!

Lou from Geometix Surveying & Engineering helped me work through a complicated and trying Lot Line Adjustment on my property. He helped keep me calm when things looked like they may not have worked out and gave me ideas on how to overcome obstacles throughout the multi-​year process. He has good connections and a level head. Without his help shepherding me through the process I would have given up long ago. Working with the planning department can be disheartening but with Geometrix in your corner you stand a fighting chance. Call this guy if you are working with the City of SF.
