Land surveying is the art and science of establishing or reestablishing corners, lines, boundaries, and monuments of real property (land), based upon recorded documents, and historical evidence. Land Surveying also includes associated services such as analysis and utilization of survey data, subdivision planning and design, writing legal descriptions, mapping, construction layout, and precision measurements of angle, elevation, length, area, and volume.
Today's land surveyor has access to highly sophisticated equipment as well as the traditional instruments for performing and processing survey work. The surveyor takes pride in being able to use the most efficient tools to accomplish the desired results.
Research of deeds, historical documents, various old plats, maps and right of way plans, is an integral part of any boundary survey. The Internet is also used to research vertical and horizontal datum on a global scale for Global Positioning Surveys.
Keeping abreast of changing laws and practices affecting land surveying and land ownership, exchanging ideas through participation in professional associations and societies, continuing education through attendance at workshops and seminars, in the interest of providing better service, are some of the activities pursued by today's modern land surveyor.
The Professional Land Surveyor's fees will be based on the anticipated difficulty and time required to complete the project. Routine survey projects may be estimated as to cost, but the client should be aware that in many situations, the Professional Land Surveyor cannot predict the amount of work that will be required to recover necessary monuments, restore lost or obliterated corners, research city and county records, collect field data, complete mathematical calculations, and prepare descriptions and maps of the property. All of this must be combined and analyzed to establish the location of property corners and create the final map.
