KNOWLEDGE – EXPERIENCE – INTEGRITY
18 years ago the Bello sisters, Kenia and Odalys decided to combine their education and experience with their hard work ethic to service the very demanding and diverse land development, engineering/architectural, and government institutions markets of South Florida.
TODAY B & B OFFERS:
- Outstanding geospatial mapping and surveying solutions.
- Cutting edge technology and resources to handle projects of any size and complexity, in compliance with state/local standards and regulations.
- A hub where a group of forward-thinking professionals collaborate with enthusiasm, share ideas and deliver accuracy and expertise in every task.
Technology advances have given sophistication and promptness to our profession, however the roots of surveying stay unchanged. B&B operations remain true to basic surveying principles, as we master the integration of conventional methods with most advanced geospatial data collection and mapping processing tools.
We have extended our services to a more comprehensive level, where each aspect of surveying is carefully mastered in order to fulfill and comply with the various needs at every stage of development. We will assist you in financing, design, permitting, construction, and occupancy as well as providing any mapping services you require. Initial boundary survey, topographic and tree survey, the plat or replat, construction steps and even further, the expert witness services in boundary disputes and area litigations in high end condominium properties. We do it all.
We have been honored to work with a highly prestigious clientele that includes Zoning/Land Use and Real Estate Attorneys, Engineering Consultants, Architects, Contractors and Land Developers. We feel very proud to consider ourselves part of the shape of the new Miami – as we are currently involved in underground utility work for mega projects such as the Brickell City Center by the Swire Company, the Downtown Doral by Codina, the Miami Skyrise by Berkowitz, the Pearl at Dadeland by Morgan Group and the new Jackson Health Systems complex at Doral.
We are highly rated, with a long history of excellent, accurate surveys produced with the latest technology.

From field to office, our work is fully insured and performed meeting and/or exceeding the minimum standards of practice set forth by the Board of Land Surveyors and Mappers.
We are on top of technological advances in our field and are always on the cutting edge of equipment and techniques. We keep ourselves informed and are able to re-tune our services to meet new standards and new requirements.
We keep records of all our work; therefore we can be called tomorrow or years from now for updated surveys or extended services. If we initially survey a vacant parcel for a real estate transaction, the new owner can call us at a later date for the additional services needed for rezone, design, subdivide and permit. We can also provide the following construction survey services: lay-out new structures and utilities, set elevations, provide certified documents for partial inspections, prepare As-Builts and Finals and assist you all the way up in the process until obtaining CO (Certificate of Occupancy) - whether the project consists of a new single house or a big residential or commercial complex with utility and infrastructure work.
Our proven reputation of successfully completed projects and satisfied clients says it ALL.
