"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"

"When I hired Salient I didn't know what to expect having never hired a surveyor. Price was reasonable, the process was a 2 step process I believe due to the complexity of my lot. 1st day was collecting data about a week later the install of the boundary line. Surveyor was knowledgable, friendly and professional. Provided what I needed."

Land Surveying questions, answered by experts

Land surveys don’t technically expire. They do serve as a point of reference and a snapshot of your property, though, so as soon as you make changes to your property (and even if your neighbor makes certain changes to theirs), your existing land survey becomes inaccurate, and a new one must be done. Even if you don’t make any changes to your property, many states only guarantee the accuracy of a land survey for five to ten years.

A land survey includes the layout of a single property, including precise measurements and to-scale drawings of boundary lines, land improvements, and sometimes other features, like topography and drainage information. A plat map includes the layouts and boundary lines of several adjacent plots and basic structure measurements. Surveys are normally more valuable for homeowners and buyers, and plat maps are for governmental use.

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, ask the land surveyor if they are licensed in the state, have liability insurance, and can quote you a fee before starting.

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.

Land surveys are worth it in several scenarios including selling your home, building an addition, constructing a fence, or making major changes to your landscape. A professional land survey can help you avoid legal issues with your neighbors and confirm the value of your property. In many cases, you may be required to order a land survey to receive a construction permit or mortgage loan.
