Q: What information can I find in a land survey report?

• <div><p>Land survey reports have a boatload of information relevant to several scenarios. Here are the types of information contained with a survey, though it depends on your chosen type of land survey. Exact boundaries and dimensions of a given property General topography, including both natural and artificial landmarks Location of utility fixtures, like water mains Confirmation of any easements or encroachments on a piece of property Assessment of land elevation to buy flood insurance Updated information to add to a pre-existing property map</p></div>

Q: How long does it take for perc test results?

• <div><p>Professionals who complete perc tests can usually do them in a single day. Including excavating to expose the test site, filling the hole with water, and monitoring it while it drains, you can expect the test to take between four and eight hours total. It&rsquo;s possible that you&rsquo;ll get the results the same day, but some companies may take a few days to get official results.</p></div>

Q: What do the little lines on the tape measure mean?

• <div><p>The small lines on the tape measure either indicate inches, fractions of an inch, or centimeters and millimeters. On the imperial unit side (aka the inches side), the longest lines indicate inches, followed by the next shortest lines that indicate a half-inch, and then the quarter, eighth, and sixteenth-inch. On the metric side, the lines break down meters, centimeters, and millimeters.</p></div>

Q: How do you calculate real estate development costs?

• <div><p>You should always calculate real estate development costs on a case-by-case basis, so there&rsquo;s no specific formula to estimate your total. You should speak with a local construction manager to see what you&rsquo;ll need to do in terms of clearing and leveling the land, connecting utilities, and pulling permits for construction. A professional will be able to get you an accurate estimate for land development. </p></div>

Q: What should I do before hiring an excavation company?

• <div><p>Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.</p><p>To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn&rsquo;t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.</p><p>Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.</p></div>

At the estimate, Tony arrived on time, surveyed the property, made good recommendations for the number and location of cameras and gave us an estimate. We already had an excellent recommendation for his services and had one other estimate, which was twice the cost, so we went with Tony. Tony...

The survey was done weeks behind schedule. I had to keep calling to see when they do the survey. I never saw the stakes in the ground.

"what an amazing team! Communication was first right from the first contact to the follow up after filing the survey with the city.
