What are the different types of land surveys?

• <div><p>A few different types of land surveys can help determine certain features and boundaries of your property. These include:</p><ul><li><p><b>Boundary surveys </b>describe the actual borders of a property. These are generally required when trying to get construction permits issued. </p></li><li><p><b>Location surveys</b> provide much of the same information as a boundary survey but also include in-depth information about any improvements made to your property. </p></li><li><p><b>Mortgage location surveys</b> are usually required by lenders and title companies before financing or offering an insurance policy. </p></li><li><p><b>Site-planning surveys</b> are done before applying for building permits and can be issued before any major home improvements. </p></li><li><p><b>Topographic surveys</b> provide a formal map of land elevations. It can also describe the location and size of natural features and any land improvements. </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: 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: Do surveys have to be recorded?

• <div><p>Surveys completed by licensed surveyors can be recorded with a local surveying records office, and in most cases, they will be. Filing survey reports categorize them as legal documents, and they can be used whenever legal documentation of your property&rsquo;s boundaries is needed. While you&rsquo;re not required to file survey documents, it&rsquo;s a good idea to do so. </p></div>

Q: What should I do before hiring an excavation company?

• <div><p>Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.</p><p>To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn&rsquo;t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.</p><p>Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.</p></div>

They were prompt in getting to my home, worked until dark and came back early the next morning and cleaned up the rest of the debris. I thought they were reasonable with their price for doing the job and may have them come back at a later date to remove several trees at the back of my land.

They show up when they say they will,and overall do a good job. I'm kinda of picky, so we point out things that may have been missed, they encourage feedback on each visit by suppling a survey card, and they correct on the next visit.
