Field work uses total stations, data collectors and GPS systems, with field data processed and imported into CADD using current versions of AutoCAD. Mapping is delivered to clients on disk with a hard copy also supplied. Survey work includes obtaining legal descriptions and abstracts of title, searching County Clerk's Office records for filed maps and easements, reconciling discrepancies, and performing field instrument surveys that locate monuments, buildings, structures and occupation lines such as fences, hedges and walls. Boundary work involves plotting field locations, comparing field measurements with deed dimensions, drafting final survey maps showing boundaries, easements, buildings, improvements and utility evidence, and setting permanent monuments at property corners, generally iron pins or concrete monuments. Topographic work establishes horizontal and vertical control, sets closed field traverses, builds Digital Terrain Models for contours and grid files, and drafts final topographic maps.

The office sits on South Main Street, about a tenth of a mile from the Village of Hamburg government office and Hamburg Village Hall, and roughly two-tenths of a mile from Peace Park and Village of Hamburg Centennial Park, with Buffalo Street about two-tenths of a mile away.

Grover & Bates Associates has served Western New York since 1990, and its 5.00 rating reflects how customers in and around Hamburg regard that work.
