"We had been looking for someone for weeks. Larry responded to my inquiry within 24 hours and was able to help us with the land survey in less than a week. Very pleased with his quick response. I will definitely recommend him to friends and family."
"Muir Consulting is an excellent & honest survey firm I luckily found through homeadvisor! I am doing a lot merger of 2 parcels to build few rental units and needed the new legal description from a licensed surveyor. My hired civil engineer and his surveyor contacts wasted 4 months of my time with excuses and ignorance when I took matters in my own hands. Owner Jack Smith and surveyor Troy were very honest and quoted me a few hundred dollars what some scam surveyors asked for > $10k and wanted to do unnecessary work like placing monuments for a two-page document! Muir's communication and turnaround speed were exceptional! I really respect their work ethic of treating even small jobs like this with such respect and diligence. It is getting hard to find such capable and honest businesses nowadays in the construction-related industry. I thank them for a job well done and their attitude towards their clients"
"I hired Mr. Kevin Bronson to help apply for LOMA at FEMA. I talked to about 10 land surveyors in the region before I decided to hire Kevin because he is the most knowledgeable about the LOMA procedure. The other land surveyors don't seem to understand the complicated requirements of the LOMA procedure. In the following months, Kevin's work ethics, professionalism, and attention to details far exceeded my expectation. In the end, he successfully helped us remove the flood zone title of our property. I feel very lucky to have hired Kevin to help us with our project. I would highly recommend The Bronson Company for any land surveying job without any hesitation."

Soil testers and licensed excavators are often the professionals you hire if you need a perc test. In some cases, structural engineers will also be able to conduct the test for you. In many municipalities, you’ll need your professional on-site to dig and fill the holes with water, as well as a representative from your local building department or health department. That representative is the individual who will determine whether your test passes or fails.

If you can’t find any records online, you’ll need to contact your county clerk’s office to do further research. They should have property records on file, or can at least point you in the right direction of who to contact. You can also speak with your neighbors about when their houses were built because they were likely built around the same time.
Property lines, building locations, and potential encroachments are mapped.
Building a road on a slope requires careful planning and will normally require a drainage system underneath to prevent flooding and damage to the road over time. Your professional may lengthen your road to create switchbacks if the slope directly to your home is too steep, as there are regulations for maximum road slope. The drainage system will help prevent runoff from the higher side of the slope from damaging the asphalt or concrete. Keep in mind that building a road on a slope isn’t a good DIY project, as a lot can go wrong.
