HISTORY
After Missouri was surveyed originally in the early 1800’s, land surveying technology has undergone many changes. Wunderlich Surveying & Engineering Inc. has experienced and embraced those changes in technology. Global Position Systems (GPS) is a technology that nearly everyone is familiar with today. Wunderlich was the first land surveyor in Franklin County to use GPS to survey with. At Wunderlich Surveying & Engineering Inc. we strive to use the latest technology to provide the most accurate product for all of our clients.
