It might surprise you to hear that winter, with its cold temperatures and unpredictable snowstorms, is the best time to start thinking about your construction or civil engineering project. But it’s true – the cold season is actually the ideal planning period so you’re ready to begin as soon as the weather warms up. Start by hiring a land surveyor to map out your land and building site. Below are some of the key reasons you shouldn’t wait to get started. 

Why Winter Is the Right Time to Hire a Land Surveyor

1. Availability

Because so many people incorrectly assume that winter is a bad time, land surveyors typically have better availability during the colder months. Most construction companies aren't busy, so your project will enjoy a great deal of priority and attention. The survey team will have more room in their normally packed calendars and you won't have to wait as long for results. It's a win for all concerned.

2. Head Starts

Winter land surveying gives you a head start on your project that you wouldn’t otherwise get. The extra months will allow you to take care of many of the regulatory and permitting requirements well in advance. You won't have to wait for approval once spring comes and you're able to break ground.

3. Opportunity for Additional Projects

Because of the ease of scheduling, you may even be able to fit in one or more additional projects that you otherwise would have to delay. It could give you an edge on your competitors, give you necessary additional space, or otherwise improve your business outlook. The earlier you begin your project, the more flexibility you’ll have to make changes before your deadline.
