"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"

A topographic survey will also help your contractor determine the cost of land development projects.
To prepare for a land survey, you must thoroughly check your land surveyor’s qualifications, reviews, and fees to align with your expectations. When it is time for the survey to be conducted, ensure that you have all your documents organized and available, know and mark your property lines, and inform your neighbors that the survey is happening.
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.
