History
Brown and Associates has been supplying Montana with surveying, engineering, and land planning services since 1972. Since 1985 we have also been actively engaged in buying, selling and developing real estate in the Southwest Montana area. We are an active member of the Butte Multiple Listing Service (MLS), Montana Association of Registered Land Surveyors, and the National Association of Realtors.
We provide all types of land surveying services, including boundary retracements and relocations, ALTA surveys, topographic and elevation surveys, and subdivision design and planning. In addition to surveying we also provide engineering services such as sewer, water, storm water run-off system design, and floodplain engineering . We also handle the cumbersome and often frustrating government permitting and review processes.
Since 1999 our firm has provided surveying services for the Streamside Tailings and Clark Fork Restoration superfund projects. This superfund cleanup project has been, and continues to be the largest construction and excavation project in the State of Montana.
Our staff includes registered land surveyors, professional engineers, engineering interns (EI), land surveyor interns (LSI), draftsmen and AutoCAD technicians, and real estate brokers. Although our services have expanded since our founding, we remain true to the standards of our trade. By combining over forty years of history and experience with cutting edge technology we can provide a high quality of service that meets our client’s budgeting and scheduling needs.
