I am the owner and do my own field work, CADD mapping as well as research. Any assistants of mine on the job have years of experience so all work is performed by highly qualified personnel. Since I bring my Laptop computer with me, a lot of times if a printer is available I can provide the customer their map before leaving the jobsite. When Invoices are sent through email, a link is provided to pay with a credit card, in addition I have a reader to accept a credit card on site.

"Mr. Cavenaugh is the most professional, courteous, tactful, punctual, and positive contractor that I have ever met. He has integrity, character, and is extremely honest. He went above and beyond what he was hired to do. If you want a contractor that is not out to swindle you, or play frivilous mind games, "PLEASE HIRE VERNIE!" I will recommend him to any and everyone who does not have time for these dumb scams. We are so grateful to God that we found Vernie on Angie's List. There are only a few good men left. Mr. Cavenaugh is one of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! His invoice, his maps and equipment - Surperb! I have one request for Vernie, DO NOT GO OUT OF BUSINESS!"

Land Surveying questions, answered by experts

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’t a good DIY project, as a lot can go wrong.

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

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.

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.

A land survey gives you information about the property boundaries, easements on the plot, dimensions, and, in some cases, topographical information. A land appraisal will often take these figures into account, but the purpose of a land appraisal is to determine the value of the land rather than the physical specifications.

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.
