Control Point Associates Acquires Borbas, Forging a NJ Geospatial Leader

WARREN, N.J. – February 17, 2026 – In a significant move that reshapes the regional land surveying landscape, Control Point Associates, Inc. today announced its acquisition of Borbas Surveying & Mapping. The deal brings the respected Boonton-based firm into the fold of one of the East Coast's leading geospatial services providers, signaling a major consolidation within New Jersey's competitive market and promising clients an expanded suite of advanced technological capabilities.

This strategic acquisition significantly enhances Control Point Associates' (CPA) operational footprint in its home state of New Jersey. By integrating Borbas, a firm with a forty-year legacy, CPA not only expands its team of experts but also deepens its service offerings for critical infrastructure, environmental, and industrial projects throughout the region.

A Strategic Move in a Consolidating Market

The acquisition arrives at a pivotal moment for New Jersey's surveying and mapping industry. While the sector is projected to reach a market size of over $300 million in 2026, driven by robust private construction and government infrastructure spending, it has simultaneously seen a steady decline in the number of individual businesses. This trend points toward a market consolidation where larger, technologically advanced firms are absorbing smaller, specialized practices to achieve greater scale and efficiency.

Control Point Associates has been at the forefront of this trend. The firm's growth strategy has consistently included the strategic acquisition of well-regarded regional companies, such as Rouse-Sirine Associates in Virginia and McLaughlin Engineering Co. in Florida. The addition of Borbas Surveying & Mapping is a logical continuation of this strategy, strengthening CPA’s core operations on the East Coast and solidifying its position as a dominant force in the New Jersey geospatial sector. By combining resources, the newly expanded entity is better positioned to compete for and execute large-scale, complex projects that are increasingly common in the region.

Merging Precision with Next-Generation Technology

The true power of this acquisition lies in the synergy between Borbas's established expertise and CPA's advanced technology arsenal. Founded in 1986, Borbas Surveying & Mapping built its reputation on a foundation of precision surveying, meticulous digital mapping, and detailed facility documentation. This traditional, ground-level expertise provides an invaluable layer of accuracy and reliability.

This deep-seated knowledge will now be amplified by Control Point Associates' comprehensive suite of modern geospatial tools. CPA is a known leader in the deployment of 3D Laser Scanning, Mobile LiDAR, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) data acquisition. These technologies are transforming the industry by enabling the rapid collection of vast amounts of highly accurate data. For instance, Mobile LiDAR can create detailed 3D point clouds of entire highway corridors from a moving vehicle, while UAVs can safely survey hazardous or inaccessible terrain, producing high-resolution topographic maps and models.

The integration means that a project that once relied on traditional methods can now benefit from a multi-layered approach. Borbas's foundational survey data can be seamlessly integrated with a high-density 3D laser scan from CPA, creating a richer, more comprehensive digital twin of a site. This fusion of techniques not only enhances accuracy but also dramatically improves efficiency, reduces time on-site, and provides clients with more powerful and versatile data deliverables for planning, design, and asset management.

Ensuring a Seamless Transition for Clients and Teams

A key emphasis from both companies has been the commitment to a smooth and undisrupted transition. Control Point Associates has assured Borbas clients that the high-quality service they have come to expect will continue without interruption. The existing Borbas team will be integrated into the CPA structure, ensuring project continuity and the preservation of long-standing client relationships.

Richard A. Butkus, Jr., President and Managing Partner of Control Point Associates, underscored this commitment in a statement. "We are committed to ensuring a seamless transition for all Borbas clients and ongoing projects," he said. "They will now benefit from Control Point Associates' expanded technology platform, extensive operational resources, and regional support network, all while maintaining the continuity of the high-quality service they expect."

This approach benefits both the clients and the employees. Borbas clients gain immediate access to a broader range of services, including advanced solutions like Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) and GIS analysis, backed by a larger team and a multi-office support network spanning the East Coast. For the Borbas team, the integration offers opportunities for professional growth within a larger organization that heavily invests in staff development and cutting-edge technology, ensuring their specialized skills remain at the forefront of the industry.

Redefining Geospatial Solutions for Modern Infrastructure

The combination of Control Point Associates and Borbas Surveying & Mapping creates a formidable entity equipped to meet the evolving demands of modern land development, energy, and infrastructure projects. As projects become more complex and data-driven, clients require more than just a simple boundary survey; they need comprehensive geospatial intelligence to inform critical decisions.

The expanded firm is now better positioned to deliver these end-to-end solutions. From initial ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys for a commercial real estate transaction to ongoing construction layout and final as-built documentation using 3D scanning, the company can manage the entire project lifecycle. This integrated service model is particularly valuable for large-scale public works, where accurate data on everything from topography to subsurface utilities is critical for staying on schedule and within budget.

With a combined legacy of over 70 years of experience and a team of more than 225 professionals, the enhanced Control Point Associates is poised to set a new standard for geospatial services in New Jersey and beyond. The firm’s ability to blend time-honored surveying principles with the most advanced data capture technologies ensures that clients receive not just data, but actionable insights that drive project success across the Eastern United States.
