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: What’s the difference between a land survey and a boundary survey?

• <div><p>A boundary survey measures the boundary lines of the property, only the length of each property line and their locations. A land survey includes a more in-depth measurement of the property, including the heights and depths of the terrain measured by a topographic survey. A boundary survey is typically the most cost-effective method for marking and measuring property lines.</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: Can surveyors help with floodplain identifications?

• <div><p>Yes, they assess topography and potential risks related to flooding.</p></div>

• <div><p>Detailed mapping of elevation changes and natural features on the property.</p></div>

I had to install a range hood with all new ductwork. Mark came in, surveyed my house, and told me what I should look for in hoods, then he came back and did the install in just a few hours, once the hood arrived. The job was performed perfectly and everything looks great afterwards (almost as if...

Greedy and unethical company. They quoted me $400 for a site plan for a small parking area at a residential property which was a little expensive but was willing to do so I wouldn't have to go do measurements myself. When I tried to get the site plan done they said they were required to do a...

I took my land rover in because th a/c wasn't working. They found the problem and ordered the parts. The parts arrived the next day and the job was completed by that same afternoon. Dinkins has always done good work for me and I'm completely satisfied.
