"Great work"

Winstone N on June 2023


"My experience with Messick & Associates has been very disappointing. I paid the full contract amount of $26,500 for a subdivision project that remains unfinished. They now claim I owe more money but have provided no proof that I approved any extra charges, despite repeated requests. I even offered to resolve the matter through mediation or arbitration, but they refused. In my view, this conduct is unethical and unprofessional. I upheld my end of the contract, but they failed to complete theirs."

I am a one-person sole proprietorship, using a robotic total station to do my surveying work, which I do in Baltimore and surrounding counties. I haven't used subcontractors in the past. My West Virginia licenses are Professional Engineer #9188, Professional Land Surveyor #828. I don't have a lot of experience in structural engineering, and I am not insured for that, so I don't practice it.

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.

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.

The small lines on the tape measure either indicate inches, fractions of an inch, or centimeters and millimeters. On the imperial unit side (aka the inches side), the longest lines indicate inches, followed by the next shortest lines that indicate a half-inch, and then the quarter, eighth, and sixteenth-inch. On the metric side, the lines break down meters, centimeters, and millimeters.

When planning for land survey costs, you should consider the following elements as major contributors to the overall cost:

  • Size of your property in terms of acres or square feet

  • Complexity of the terrain in terms of hills, elevation changes, rocks, water, and other features

  • Type of survey you need (boundary survey, topographic survey, or a combination of survey types)

  • Distance traveled for the professional surveyor

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.
