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>

Why should I have my land surveyed?

• <div><p>Land surveying can help give clear guidance on your property boundaries for numerous situations. And in some cases, having your land surveyed is a requirement. Some common reasons to have your land surveyed include:</p><ul><li><p>Planning for construction projects, like building a fence</p></li><li><p>Locating utilities, such as plumbing fixtures</p></li><li><p>Settling property line disputes </p></li><li><p>Creating subdivisions </p></li><li><p>Meeting mortgage requirements</p></li><li><p>Selling your property</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What does a land surveyor look for?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/site-development-costs.htm">cost of land development projects</a>.</p></div>

Q: How long is a land survey good for?

• <div><p>Land surveys don&rsquo;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&rsquo;t make any changes to your property, many states only guarantee the accuracy of a land survey for five to ten years.</p></div>

Q: How much does land surveying cost?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-land-survey-cost.htm">Land surveying costs</a> about <b>$530</b> for the average homeowner. However, your total cost could range anywhere from <b>$200 to $1,000</b> or more. Factors like the size of your property play a significant role in what you pay, but other things like the survey type and the time of year can also impact the final cost. </p><p>For example, if you&rsquo;re looking for a simple boundary survey, you can expect to pay between <b>$100 and $600</b>. However, if you want a more in-depth survey that depicts the elevations of your hills and trees, you can expect to pay between $500 and $1,200 for a topographic survey. </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.
