About

EricColburn.com Your Professional Land Surveyor Source

Eric D. Colburn Professional Land SurveyorMy goal is to be your Professional Land Surveyor Source, educating and informing the professional land surveying community about my knowledge and experience, industry news, and technologies and procedures that will increase your productivity.

I hope to bring to your attention news, products and services that you may be too busy to investigate for yourself, through my written articles and product reviews.

I am a firm believer in using technology to improve our work and our lives, when it is appropriate and it works. If a technology doesn’t work, or just doesn’t improve your productivity and profitability, however, then it’s simply not the right tool or procedure, no matter the “cool” factor. I don’t believe in technology for technologies sake, nor should you. Rather, I believe that the tools and procedures you use, whether high or low tech, should give you more time, more money, and improve your professional land surveying practice.

Mostly, I love being a Professional Land Surveyor! Whether it’s performing the technical land surveying work, making professional land surveying solutions, or running a professional land surveying business, after 25 years in the professional land surveying industry, I still find the challenges rewarding and everything about land surveying interesting to me.
