"I went with Vara 3D because out of the dozen or so survey companies I spoke with, they were the most helpful. Alan took his time to explain the process to me, all of my options, and he even offered thoughts from his own experience in a situation similar to mine. The whole process was simple, everyone I had contact with was wonderful. The price was on the low end of average for the area and the customer service was superb. Highly recommend."

Land Surveying questions, answered by experts

A professional land surveyor ensures accurate property boundaries and prevent legal disputes.

Exact boundaries and dimensions of a given property General topography, including both natural and artificial landmarks Location of utility fixtures, like water mains Confirmation of any easements or encroachments on a piece of property Assessment of land elevation to buy flood insurance Updated information to add to a pre-existing property map

A few different types of land surveys can help determine certain features and boundaries of your property. These include:

Boundary surveys describe the actual borders of a property. These are generally required when trying to get construction permits issued.
