SEARCH Facilities

In 2003, SEARCH designed and built our main office in Jonesville, Florida and it is regarded as the most advanced state-of-the-art cultural resource facility in the Southeast.  In 2007 we purchased a historic commercial warehouse to serve as our Orlando office.  SEARCH chose to design and build/renovate these custom facilities in order to meet the particular laboratory, storage, and production needs of a full-service cultural resource firm.  These custom built and renovated facilities comply with the laboratory requirements of 36 CFR 79.   

Our ownership of SEARCH facilities is important since it not only establishes SEARCH as a contributing member of the local economy, but it also demonstrates our long-term commitment to our staff and our clients.  We also operate regional offices that are dedicated to the service of a specific contract or industry sector.  

SEARCH is a one-call contractor.  Because we offer the full suite of services and staff, including accounting personnel from one home office location, our clients are not required to navigate through multiple nationwide offices that each specialize in a separate service.  Our facility consolidation approach also promotes inter-SEARCH communication that is vital for multi-disciplinary projects.  SEARCH operates from the following facilities:

Equipment

SEARCH owns specialized equipment for archaeological, underwater, and historical fieldwork, laboratory work, evaluation of historic properties, graphics and report production, and data processing.  SEARCH keeps complete sets of field, analysis, and collections management equipment in all of our offices to expedite our rapid response and to allow multiple crews to work on several simultaneous surveys and excavations.
