Do you measure from 0 or 1 on a measuring tape?

• <div><p>Measure from zero on a measuring tape by placing the metal hook right up against the edge of what you need to measure. You can also latch the hook onto an open edge—of, say, a table—to accurately measure as well. If you begin at the 1-inch mark, you'll need to subtract an inch from your total.</p></div>

Will I need permits to build a home?

• <div><p>Yes, new home construction will always require <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-i-really-need-building-permit.htm">building permits</a>, no matter where you live. In most cases, you’ll need a general construction permit, along with plumbing and electrical permits for the utility lines in your home. Depending on where you live, you’ll likely find that you also need permits for things like connection to a sewage system or installing exterior components, like decks, driveways, patios, and curb cutouts. Leave navigating the permits required for new home construction to a professional to ensure your home is built legally and safely.</p></div>

How do you find a land surveyor?

• <div><p>You will find a collection of licensed land surveyors in your area. Your real estate agent or construction manager may also be able to recommend a trusted professional. When speaking with prospective pros in your area, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/questions-to-ask-a-land-surveyor.htm">ask the land surveyor</a> if they are licensed in the state, have liability insurance, and can quote you a fee before starting.</p></div>

Q: How long does a land survey take?

• <div><p>A land survey can take anywhere from a few hours to a month or more, depending on the size of the property, the type of survey, the property&rsquo;s accessibility and topography, and the availability of historical property records. A simple boundary survey to determine a fence line can be completed in a day while surveying 50 acres of undeveloped woodlands may take weeks or longer.</p></div>

Q: What does a land surveyor look for?

• <div><p>Depending on the type of land survey, the report will mark the boundaries of your property, the topographical changes of the landscape, as well as major natural and added structures to the plot. A more detailed survey, like an as-built survey, will note the measurements of the structures and landscape following major construction. A topographic survey will also help your contractor determine the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/site-development-costs.htm">cost of land development projects</a>.</p></div>

Contacted the number listed and introduced myself. Wanted to ask about the plumbing materials and systems he used. He hung up. I recalled back thinking we had been disconnected. He told me he didn’t want to participate in my “survey” and hung up again. Rude and unprofessional.
