Frequently Asked Questions

Before buying a piece of property or real estate, or before beginning development on a piece of land, you should get a land survey done by a professional. A land survey will reveal important facts about the property, such as boundary points, encroachments, and easements.

The cost of a land survey might range anywhere from $300 to over $1,000 for local residents. To put it simply, the price of your survey will increase proportionately with the number of acres, miles traveled, and hours spent in the field. You should expect to pay a higher price for your survey if it requires a professional to travel a greater distance to reach the spot. In addition, we provide free quotes to property owners so that they can better comprehend the total cost of their survey.

The following factors influence the total cost of a land survey:

• The particular kind of land survey that was requested.
• The necessary amount of travel distance.
• Your property's age and the number of acres it contains
• The kind of topography that your piece of property has.
• The number of hours spent conducting research in the field that are required to finish your survey.
• Any specific requirements that must be met before you can receive your permit.

Surveyors take accurate measures to establish property borders, which are then incorporated into the production of maps, which are fundamental to the planning and development of any building project.
