While all projects are unique, it is our understanding of local, state, and federal regulations and guidelines which allow us to produce results tailored for our clients needs. Since the company was founded in 1955, it has grown not only in personnel but also in the services it offers. The growth that the company has experienced over the years has always been controlled so as not to lose the reputation that Arthur Howland worked so hard to develop. The tradition and goal of providing our clients with cost effective, high quality, and accurate civil engineering and land surveying services is still alive more than ever under the leadership of the company’s new president Paul Szymanski who worked under Arthur Howland for a number of years before taking over the reigns in 2005. It is Paul Szymanski’s positive “Can Do” attitude that has instilled the civil engineering and land surveying staff of Arthur H. Howland & Associates to always go above and beyond for the client to earn the company praise and notoriety among clients, town staff, regulating agencies, and other land use professionals. We encourage you to give us an opportunity to work on your next land use project and look forward to working with you to meet all of your civil engineering and land surveying needs!

"Telephone wasn't answered, during their posted business hours. No voice mail. Emails not returned, either. Town has no survey on file, after almost 300 years. Town required one to determine property lines before I can build or install a shed! President is on the Town Council. Definitely not happy. Still need a survey!"

"Disappointing result. Survey showed what I feared. Surrounding developers had bought what was originally on this property, then took more than what my deed shows. Last surveyor to the party loses! Likely a legal issue now, since my driveway, parking area and much of my back yard doesn't even belong to me, according to this and previously filed surveys by surrounding developers. My only issue with my surveyor was less communication than promised or delivered. Pleasantly surprised to learn he did file the survey with the town as promised. Would use him again."

Land Surveying questions, answered by experts

Yes, new home construction will always require building permits, no matter where you live. In most cases, you’ll need a general construction permit, along with plumbing and electrical permits for the utility lines in your home. Depending on where you live, you’ll likely find that you also need permits for things like connection to a sewage system or installing exterior components, like decks, driveways, patios, and curb cutouts. Leave navigating the permits required for new home construction to a professional to ensure your home is built legally and safely.

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.

If a buyer pays for a survey, the surveyor they hired will only provide results to them. It’s up to the buyer whether they share the survey results with the seller or not, even if they ultimately walk away from the deal. It’s considered good faith to share the results with the seller, though, especially if you back out of the deal, as the seller can then provide that survey to future interested parties.

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.

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.
