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: How long does a land survey take?

• <div><p>A land survey can take anywhere from a few hours to a month or more, depending on the size of the property, the type of survey, the property&rsquo;s accessibility and topography, and the availability of historical property records. A simple boundary survey to determine a fence line can be completed in a day while surveying 50 acres of undeveloped woodlands may take weeks or longer.</p></div>

Q: How do you build a road on a slope?

• <div><p>Building a road on a slope requires careful planning and will normally require a drainage system underneath to prevent flooding and damage to the road over time. Your professional may lengthen your road to create switchbacks if the slope directly to your home is too steep, as there are regulations for maximum road slope. The drainage system will help prevent runoff from the higher side of the slope from damaging the asphalt or concrete. Keep in mind that building a road on a slope isn&rsquo;t a good DIY project, as a lot can go wrong.</p></div>

Q: What do the little lines on the tape measure mean?

• <div><p>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.</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>

Helitech was quick to respond, survey, and quote my needs. Quick turnaround time to schedule polyjacking my garage floor (was previously a car port with an intentional grade) to level it in preparation for a new garage door. Highly recommend.

Excellent. They got the job done timely. They actually came out to survey the house about the work done. I would definitely recommend them to anybody.

He is really good and professional. He is cheaper than everyone else. He has all the surveys from 100 years ago on file. He marked the boundaries and improvements, so it was a complete survey.
