Plans only help if the building ends up where the plans say. Without accurate stakeout, crews pour foundations, set utilities, and grade in the wrong place, and fixing it costs far more than getting it right the first time.

What is construction staking?

Construction staking puts the engineered design on the ground. ATHCA stakes building corners, utilities, roads, and grades from the approved plans so contractors build in the right place at the right elevation, on residential and commercial projects across Florida.

Who needs construction staking?
General contractors, builders, and developers use staking to lay out structures and infrastructure accurately during construction.
How often will you need to restake?

What can ATHCA stake on a construction site?
ATHCA stakes building corners, foundations, utilities, road and curb lines, and finished grades from the approved construction plans so crews build in the right place and elevation.
