About EF Gaines

Led by Elizabeth F. Gaines, PSM.

Elizabeth Gaines has been a Professional Surveyor & Mapper since 1988. After two decades with one of Florida’s leading civil engineering firms, she founded E.F. Gaines Surveying Services in 2002 and built the company around dependable survey support for engineering firms and municipalities.

Today the firm focuses exclusively on office-related surveying support: CADD production, Civil3D terrain models, legal descriptions and sketches, parcel mapping, GIS-ready data, and technical peer reviews. The result is a lean, experienced partner that can plug into your workflow when deadlines, documentation, or review cycles need extra precision.
