About Susan E. Palazzola

I bring over 30 years of experience in the land surveying and civil engineering field, with a career that has evolved alongside technology. Beginning my journey drafting by hand on the board, I’ve grown into a highly skilled CADD technician specializing in Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D.My expertise spans a wide range of surveying and drafting projects, including easements, lot splits and combinations, boundary and topographic surveys, condominium documents, ALTA surveys, and subdivision design. I take pride in producing accurate, detailed, and efficient deliverables that support engineers, surveyors, and project stakeholders in achieving successful outcomes.In addition to my technical background, I bring years of experience in business development. I have a proven ability to build strong relationships and collaborate effectively with architects, builders, and other professionals to help drive projects forward and deliver lasting results.Throughout my career, I’ve remained committed to continuous learning and adapting to the industry’s evolving tools and standards. With a strong foundation in traditional drafting and decades of applied experience in modern CADD environments, I bridge the gap between precision, practicality, and technology.
