Land surveys are legally binding documents detailing the exact boundaries of a plot of land. These surveys play an essential role in planning new construction, settling property line disputes, and a wide range of other important matters, so it’s essential to choose a quality contractor with the skills and equipment to deliver the most accurate results possible. Below are a few tips for finding a land surveyor you can trust.

4 Tips for Finding the Best Land Surveyor

1. Do Your Research

Before choosing a land surveyor, gather a list of the most established and well-respected professionals in your area. Real estate agents and builders can be valuable resources, but you may also be able to find some candidates online. Ideally, you’ll want to collect at least three reputable companies to choose from.

2. Ask for their Licensing Information

Connecticut and many other states require land surveyors to pass a test and obtain a license before they’re allowed to work in the field. Before hiring a land surveyor, you may want to check the status of their license with your state board.

3. Look for Experience

Land surveying requires an in-depth understanding of local laws and regulations and advanced technology, as well as traditional techniques. Surveyors with several decades of experience will have the expertise to provide the accuracy you need and a reputation that indicate the quality of service they provide.

4, Ask About Equipment

The most effective land surveyors combine traditional expertise with state-of-the-art equipment, including GPS tracking and satellite maps. Because so much can depend on the quality of your survey, always hire a company that uses the most up-to-date equipment in the industry.
