What should I consider when planning land survey costs?

• <div><p>When planning for land survey costs, you should consider the following elements as major contributors to the overall cost:</p><ul><li><p>Size of your property in terms of acres or square feet</p></li><li><p>Complexity of the terrain in terms of hills, elevation changes, rocks, water, and other features</p></li><li><p>Type of survey you need (boundary survey, topographic survey, or a combination of survey types)</p></li><li><p>Distance traveled for the professional surveyor </p></li></ul><p></p></div>

How do you calculate real estate development costs?

• <div><p>You should always calculate real estate development costs on a case-by-case basis, so there’s no specific formula to estimate your total. You should speak with a local construction manager to see what you’ll need to do in terms of clearing and leveling the land, connecting utilities, and pulling permits for construction. A professional will be able to get you an accurate estimate for land development. </p></div>

Q: What type of land survey is the most expensive?

• <div><p>ALTA/ACSM surveys are the most comprehensive type of land survey and, as such, tend to be the most expensive. These surveys have standardized guidelines and reports and are used in many kinds of real estate transactions to ensure consistent and accurate information is available for properties.</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: How do you tell if a tree is a historic landmark?

• <div><p>This is fairly rare, but sometimes the local government or a group like a historical society will label a tree as a landmark, or historical item. These designations almost always come with a small, on-site plaque for identification, but you should also be able to look up protected trees in your area on a city website or similar list. If the tree in question is a landmark, call your local government and ask how to proceed before making any plans.</p></div>

Very friendly, thorough and prompt service. The Chesapeake rep who surveyed my property actually recommended a cheaper alternative to water an area of my property than I had proposed! Big relief after dealing for years with rude and incompetent service from Hydro-Tech.

I provided the paint and the painters arrived and worked until they finished the hallway, stairway, and landing of colonial house. We were very pleased with the work and the price. And they were able to reach the very high places that are difficult to reach without the right equipment.
