We use the Latest Technology and Equipment for Land Surveying
At Abacus Professional Services, we use electronic total stations coupled with electronic data collectors, a global positioning system, as well as the most up-to-date equipment. This way, we fulfill your land surveying needs more efficiently. Written agreements are often required to outline the work that is required. Our office uses computer-aided coordinate geometry and drafting software. This software helps us to analyze data that we collect with our equipment, as well as streamlining the flow of data back to our field equipment for staking. This reduces the potential for human error and increases overall productivity.
How Do You Know You Need a Land Survey
A land survey is sometimes required when the location of the land you are buying or selling is not defined on the ground. At Abacus Professional Services, we can provide you with an accurate land survey for a wide variety of purposes, including:
- When a building permit is required.
- When you believe someone has encroached onto your property.
- Before developing your property.
- Before a lot is divided from a larger tract of land.
- Before building close to a property line.
- If a line or corner is not properly defined.
- If a lending institution requires a survey.
What Are the Costs Associated with Land Surveying
When it comes to land survey fees, they are rarely based on the physical size of the property. The price depends on the amount of time and level of expertise that is required to provide the service that you requested.
Land surveyors need to know the location of the area that needs to be surveyed, as well as why the survey is needed and when it needs to be completed. You may also be required to provide a copy of the deed or title for the land to obtain an estimate of the possible fees that can be associated with the work. However, for certain situations, an address or parcel identification number will be sufficient. Information regarding estimates, clients, and possible land divisions is always kept confidential until the client chooses to release such information.
