Q: Does the seller get to see the survey if a buyer pays for it?

• <div><p>If a buyer pays for a survey, the surveyor they hired will only provide results to them. It&rsquo;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&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: What do land surveys typically include?

• <div><p>Property lines, building locations, and potential encroachments are mapped.</p></div>

Q: How do I hire a land surveyor?

• <div><p>To hire a land surveyor, you need to start by searching online for reputable professionals in your area. Here are a few steps to take when making a shortlist:</p><ul><li><p>Browse land surveyor service website</p></li><li><p>Check credentials</p></li><li><p>Read customer reviews</p></li><li><p>Find their contact information</p></li><li><p>Call or email to inquire about more information</p></li><li><p>Ask how far they travel, if you&rsquo;re some distance away</p></li><li><p>Find out how they charge for their services</p></li><li><p>Ask about schedule and turnaround times</p></li><li><p>Repeat these steps for one to two other services and compare pricing</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Who do I call before I dig in my yard?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re planning to dig on your property, you&rsquo;ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won&rsquo;t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues. </p></div>

Q: Will I need permits to build a home?

• <div><p>Yes, new home construction will always require <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-i-really-need-building-permit.htm">building permits</a>, no matter where you live. In most cases, you&rsquo;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&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Wow! Paul and his team did an excellent job. We should have done this sooner! Expanding the landing, pouring new stairs for the front, and creating a curved walkway completely transformed the look of our house. The crew was professional and friendly. The price was very reasonable. Highly...

At first it was great. We had water sitting right by the door and the pavers never dried out after the rain. The landing was never sealed by the door so it ran under the wood floor which buckled. I have an email chain showing I have contacted Dave almost yearly with multiple problems. Now the...
