Our Story
Berding Surveying
in 1991
…having worked for multi-disciplined firms Gerry (Gerard) Berding recognized the need for a “stand alone” high quality surveying only firm to service the needs of the design, legal and construction industries.
The firm quickly established its place within the local market.
- Lead survey support on the construction of the Kentucky Speedway and the Cincinnati Reds Great American Ball Park, 3CDC Fountain Square refresh and the Ohio River Meldahl Dam hydro electric project.
- Design surveys and right of way plans for LPA and Ohio Department of Transportation projects- Butler 129 / Veterans Highway in Butler County, Ohio established the firm in the DOT market.
- Cincinnati Streetcar route survey and construction support.
- The transformation of the Norwood, Ohio General Motors assembly plant into a mixed use development provided the opportunity for the firm to advance in its ability to manage large scale site survey preparation associated with legacy site transformation.

Growth, Team, and Leadership Transition
The turn of the millennium brought an investment in 3D laser scanning, as the technology moved from the lab to the field. The company continues to invest in and advance with new technologies.
By 2002, the firm expanded to its present location and a steady team of 15 to 20 employees, which it maintains to this day. Employees tend to stay with Berding Surveying, with an average tenure of 15 years.
On a typical day, five survey crews are out working across the Greater Cincinnati Area. Travel to sites within the Tri-State, Midwest, and occasionally further for established clients is now part of the norm.
Project oversight, technical support, and production are managed from Milford, Ohio.
Ownership and oversight of the firm are transitioning to Dan Berding, who has been involved in day-to-day operations since 2012. Dan brings years of surveying experience and an engineering background with a degree from Vanderbilt University and advanced studies from Virginia Tech.
