Do you measure from 0 or 1 on a measuring tape?

• <div><p>Measure from zero on a measuring tape by placing the metal hook right up against the edge of what you need to measure. You can also latch the hook onto an open edge—of, say, a table—to accurately measure as well. If you begin at the 1-inch mark, you'll need to subtract an inch from your total.</p></div>

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>

Will I need permits to build a home?

• <div><p>Yes, new home construction will always require <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-i-really-need-building-permit.htm">building permits</a>, no matter where you live. In most cases, you’ll need a general construction permit, along with plumbing and electrical permits for the utility lines in your home. Depending on where you live, you’ll likely find that you also need permits for things like connection to a sewage system or installing exterior components, like decks, driveways, patios, and curb cutouts. Leave navigating the permits required for new home construction to a professional to ensure your home is built legally and safely.</p></div>

What happens if your land survey is inaccurate?

• <div><p>If you or your mortgage lender think your land survey needs to be more accurate, double-check the survey report and get at least a second opinion from the original surveyor and an inspector, if possible. Although it’s unlikely, even reputable surveying companies can make mistakes. An inaccurate survey can cause problems down the road in the case of any property line disputes, so it’s best to resolve any inaccuracies as quickly as possible.</p></div>

The only thing that left me a bit put out was them leaving the soil in piles after digging it up. No attempt to even it out and or compact it. There is a lot of clay soil that is difficult to move. So, have had to get our land scape service to clean it all up and that costs extra.
