Johnson-Frank’s concentration on public sector clients bolsters our familiarity with codes, ordinances, and personnel of the area’s municipalities and government agencies. This focus is reflected in the surveying services provided. The Firm enjoys an excellent reputation for its field research, field surveys, and its knowledge of survey practices and documentation. That reputation extends to Johnson-Frank’s knowledge of local policies. Some municipalities and government agencies regard Johnson-Frank as an extension of their own staff.

Experience indicates that an open dialogue results in projects that are brought in on time and at projected costs.
