Land Survey

Surveying is the measurement and mapping of the land, sky, and sea. Someone who surveys is called a surveyor, and a surveyor identifies, verifies, and documents the lines of boundary for properties. A survey maps elevations, angles, boundaries, and natural and man-made features using geometry and other related mathematics and sciences. Land surveyors work with sophisticated field equipment, make calculations, and take images to support the survey findings. They also use software solutions like AutoCAD to draft plans and map measurements. These days satellites play a prominent role in surveying land, creating a higher level of accuracy than before. Why Would You Need a Survey? You need a survey for several reasons, topmost of which is you need to know where the boundaries of your property lie when you are buying, selling, or improving a patch of land. After all, very little new land is being created, so what you already have is a valuable commodity.
