Baseline Surveying Inc. was incorporated in 2000 as Biedenbach Engineering Inc., by Aaron Biedenbach and Mike Nichols, and focused on maintaining a high standard of excellence while providing Construction Layout, Land Surveying and Land Development. In 2005 the name was changed to Biedenbach Surveying Inc. and in 2011 the name was once again changed, to Baseline Surveying Inc. Today, we still strive to uphold that same high level of excellence in the surveying industry that the company was founded on.
