Land Surveyors

Before you start building your new home you will often need to call in a land surveyor to measure and analyze the land and help give you advice on the design of your home, and they may also help to manage the construction project. Cadastral land surveyors are also responsible for helping to settle disputes of ownership, mark out original boundaries of land and sub-dividing land.

Some Surveys You Need to Be Aware of Before Building

Land surveyors, quantity surveyors and building surveyors are responsible for doing different types of surveys that are relevant to your home. These include As-built surveys, cadastral (boundary) surveys, foundation survey, mortgage survey, plot plan or site plan surveys, and tape survey. The plot plan survey is your proposed construction project that takes into consideration what is currently on the site and how it will look in the end. The Foundation and As-built surveys survey your project at different times during the construction phase to determine that things are going according to plan.

Land Surveyors and Purchasing Property

Apart from calling on land surveyors when you want to build a new home, you may also want to call a land surveyor if you intend to buy a new home. They will be able to help you determine exactly what land you are purchasing, and what lies in your neighbors’ yard, and whether you have been given accurate information or your deed is accurate.

Qualifications and Licensing for Land Surveyors
