Surveying

Surveying is the art and science of determining the exact position of points on the Earth’s surface. It involves measuring the angles and distances between points to create accurate maps, plans, and legal descriptions of property boundaries.

Why You Should Get a Boundary Survey

Avoid costly boundary disputes by getting a boundary survey before purchasing property. This survey clearly marks property lines, helping prevent future disagreements with neighbors over where the boundary lies. If there’s a dispute, it can be addressed before issues arise, saving you time and potential legal fees.

Ensure that what you’re buying matches your expectations. Often,
what you see isn’t always what you get. A boundary survey confirms you’re purchasing the land you think you are, so you won’t be surprised later to find that the property is smaller than expected or doesn’t include specific features like trees, buildings, or fences.

Planning to build on the property? A boundary survey ensures that you’re constructing on your land, avoiding costly mistakes like having to tear down a fence or garage that encroaches on a neighbor’s property.

Finally, a boundary survey is a small investment compared to the peace of mind it brings. It’s a proactive step to ensure you know what you’re purchasing, build confidently, and avoid legal complications down the road.

Should I get a Boundary Plat with my Boundary Survey?

In addition to the benefits of getting a Boundary Survey, a Boundary Plat (a picture of your survey) also:

  • Identifies Easements and Encroachments
  • Shows existing easements of record (rights of others to use part of your land) and encroachments (structures that overlap property lines).
  • Uncover hidden issues. The boundary plat might reveal other problems like public utilities crossing your property or the presence of historical claims that could affect your intended use of the land.
  • Provides written documentation and picture showing your property boundaries along with items referenced above, certified by a Licensed Surveyor, that can be used as evidence for perpetuity, documenting your property.

Land Development

Land development is the process of transforming raw land into usable spaces for various purposes, such as residential, commercial, industrial, or recreational. It involves a series of planning, engineering, and construction activities to create functional and aesthetically pleasing environments.

General Contracting

General contracting is a professional service that oversees the planning, coordination, and execution of construction projects. A general contractor acts as a liaison between the project owner and the various subcontractors involved in the project.
