"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."

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’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.
It is almost always necessary to hire a land surveyor near you to ensure your fence sits on the right side of the property line. Mistaking the shape of your property can lead to fines and costly changes if you have to move or adjust the privacy fence—not to mention some surly looks from your neighbor. We recommend jumpstarting your fence planning in the spring to ensure there is plenty of time to map out your plan before construction season.
Several government-backed lending programs can help first-time home buyers purchase a home with little money down. FHA, USDA, and VA loans are options for qualifying borrowers, though many conventional mortgage lenders will lower down payment rates to as low as 3 percent.
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.
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 cost of land development projects.
