A History Over 110 Years in the Making
Underhill traces its roots back to late 1913, when brothers Frederic Clare Underhill (Clare) and James Theodore Underhill (J.T.) established the Underhill & Underhill partnership.
Following their service in World War I, the brothers channeled their dedication and energy into building a successful land surveying and engineering firm in British Columbia. Their commitment to high standards and personal integrity quickly earned them recognition as leaders in the field.
In the years since, Underhill has grown into one of the most trusted professional land surveying and geomatics companies in Canada.
