“Mark well the land, it is our most valuable asset.”

~George Washington, Professional Land Surveyor and First President of the United States.

“I first heard this quote from my very first crew chief almost 29 years ago and at the time I did not fully take in what it meant. Over the years I have seen the Charleston area grow and have surveyed once vacant parcels of land and seen them flourish into small cities, each unique in their own way. I am pleased to say that most of these developments have been the work of Thomas & Hutton. I am proud to work for a company that has a client base and likeminded professionals that strive to offer the best product possible and will do what is necessary to get the project complete with the utmost accuracy and professionalism.”
