February 2026 BCSC Newsletter

Team Spotlights, Events, Project Highlights & Industry Updates

February is underway, and the momentum from the new year is only growing at Bateman Civil Survey Company (BCSC). Our teams are pushing ahead on major fieldwork, new initiatives, and ongoing projects that are shaping a strong start to 2026. Even with a shorter month, the pace hasn’t slowed; whether in the office or out on site, we’re turning winter productivity into real progress.

Employee Spotlights

This month, we’re proud to recognize three teammates who continue to raise the bar across our company:

  • Patrick McGuinn consistently goes above and beyond with every crew chief he supports. He’s an eager beaver in the field who can cut line with impressive skill and never hesitates to jump in where needed.
  • Brandon Nelson regularly steps outside his role to keep operations running smoothly—answering field calls, resolving issues quickly, and helping crews stay productive and on track.
  • Trelvon Thacker brings a positive attitude to every job, showing up with a smile and a willingness to tackle anything asked of him.

Their dedication, teamwork, and reliability make a real impact, and we’re grateful to have them on the BCSC team.

Event Spotlights

This past month, Sean Hein, PLS, PE, Kenric Barnes, PE, and Shelbey Sparrow Daniel, PE returned to NC State to meet the new group of engineering students they’ll be mentoring throughout the semester. We’re excited for another season of hands-on guidance and industry insight as these future professionals take their next steps.

Hosting Future Talent: Student Job Shadow Experience

BCSC recently welcomed Apex-Friendship High School Academy of Engineering & Advanced Manufacturing students for a job shadow experience, giving them an inside look at the surveying and geospatial industry.

During their visit, students observed project discussions, learned from our team about career paths, and saw our day-to-day operations in action. We were proud to support this career-readiness opportunity and help students explore what a future in this field can look like.

Professional Development Spotlight

BCSC is proud to share that Josh Davidson, PLS, Sean Hein, PLS, PE, Carl Corpus, and Anthony Schmidt will attend the North Carolina Society of Surveyors Annual Conference—a key event for industry training, networking, and professional growth.

Our team looks forward to bringing back insights that strengthen our work and support continued excellence at BCSC.

Project / Client Spotlight

Bateman Civil Survey Company recently had the opportunity to support an exciting in-fill development on Dixie Trail in Raleigh. Our team provided a full suite of services essential to bringing this project to life, including:

  • Boundary and topographic surveying
  • Plot plans and house staking
  • Grading design
  • Stormwater management design
  • Impervious surface design
  • Comprehensive as-builts and certifications

We appreciate DJF BUILDERS for partnering with us and trusting our team to help realize their vision for this property.

Industry Updates

ALTA and NSPS have jointly released the 2026 Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for Land Title Surveys, set to take effect February 23, 2026.

These updates introduce:

  • Clearer documentation protocols
  • Tighter precision standards
  • Enhanced transparency between surveyors, title companies, and property owners

The goal is to reduce uncertainty in real estate transactions and reinforce the reliability of boundary, easement, and access data our clients rely on.

February is already shaping up to be a strong month, and the work underway now is laying the foundation for everything ahead. The commitment of our team—in the field, in the office, and everywhere in between—continues to fuel every achievement and every milestone.

Here’s to a season of steady progress, strong partnerships, and projects that move our communities forward.
