When Should I Select a Land Surveyor?
A person generally has few occasions to consult a Land Surveyor. Since such consultation is so infrequent, the average person is not aware of the logical steps to be followed when selecting a Surveyor. To help make such selections, we have listed the answers to a few common questions.
A land survey should be made prior to any division or transfer of real property and prior to the design and/or installation of improvements and in cases of property line disputes. Remember, the services of a Surveyor NOW, will cost less in time, worry and money than the cost of moving a building or defending a lawsuit later!
