If you’re a home or business owner, you’ll likely need land surveying services at some point in time. From documenting the boundaries of your property to planning new construction, these surveys serve a range of useful purposes. Here are three times you’re most likely to need a surveyor and how they’ll help.

Why You May Need a Land Surveying Company

1. Boundary Survey

The boundary between your property and your neighbor’s isn’t just a piece of idle trivia. It has real-world implications regarding who owns certain features along the border, who is responsible for what maintenance, and where you and your neighbor can build. You’ll also need to make sure the boundary is appropriately defined before you can sell your home.

2. Topographic Survey

For new construction, a map of the property elevations is necessary to help engineers and architects design the site and building. 

3. Construction Staking

Before a construction or excavation project, hire a surveyor to place the structure. They’ll help you choose a location that is ideal for whatever you’re building and warn you of any features or ordinances that might interfere with your plan.

If you need more information about your property or documentation of its features, a surveyor will help.
