About E.F. Gaines Surveying Services, Inc.

Led by Elizabeth F. Gaines, PSM.

Elizabeth Gaines has been a Professional Surveyor & Mapper since 1988. After two decades with one of Florida’s leading civil engineering firms, she founded E.F. Gaines Surveying Services in 2002 and offered a full range of surveying services to engineering firms, contractors, real estate professionals and municipalities.

Today the firm focuses exclusively on office-related surveying support: CADD production, Civil3D terrain models, legal descriptions and sketches, parcel mapping, GIS-ready data, and technical peer reviews. The result is a lean, experienced partner that can plug into your workflow when deadlines, documentation, or review cycles need extra precision.
