MANUEL G. VERA & ASSOCIATES, INC.
Manuel G. Vera & Associates, Inc. (MGV) has over 35
years of experience in surveying. We were here when
there were no electronic instruments and no
computers; they have evolved with the profession and
its resources. MGV has been able to blend all of
today’s technologies with basic surveying principles that must be followed regardless of how
high tech one gets. In addition, when they say that their company or experience has evolved,
they mean the people behind the company not the entity. MGV currently has 27 employees.
Their key personnel experience ranges from 10 years to over 25 years of experience in
surveying and more importantly with the firm. MGV’s staff has hands on experience, they
were trained there and they have stayed there. Their clients have the security that when

well as project managers that are Licensed Surveyors and Mappers. When dealing with
MGV, you can have the security and the assurance that Mr. Vera Sr., or Mr. Vera Jr. will

notice. MGV is a unique firm in that it has the capability of any big surveying firm but its
principles are patterned by a family business, good service and quality assurance ideology.

methodologies that are being used.
