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: Do you need a permit to clear land?

• <div><p>Permit requirements to clear land vary by municipality, so whether or not you need permits depends on where you live and what you&rsquo;re removing from the land. Some building departments will require permits for any underground work or excavation, meaning grinding down tree stumps on your property would require permits. Others mandate individual permits for each tree you remove. You can contact your local building department or a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/land-clearing-services/">land-clearing specialist near you</a> to see if permits are necessary for your job.</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>

It went perfectly, just as he said. Jeff's surveyor came out when the rain stopped and it took a day to survey entirely. The three points (I'm on a corner) were marked with flagged stakes, fluorescent spray paint and metal circles were hammered into the concrete for permanent reference. Along...

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