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’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>

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’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’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>

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: 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: What are the benefits of getting a land survey before buying a property?

• <div><p>A land survey provides precise property boundaries, reveals legal encroachments, and identifies rights-of-way, minimizing disputes. Understanding the exact dimensions and features of the property aids in informed decision-making and safeguards the buyer's investment.</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...
