What Does A Land Surveyor Do? Land surveyors can help with a wide range of surveying for your property, boundaries and any other areas of land. However, you may still be unsure exactly what a land surveyor does and how they can be beneficial to you. Wayne Evans Surveying Services provide a selection of land surveys and are fully trained land surveyors. We can always advise you regarding the land surveys you require.
What Is Land Surveying? Surveying is the measurement and mapping of any land, sky or sea. Land surveyors will typically stick to properties, roads and other large spaces of lands and can be used to determine a wide range of details and measurements for any properties or land.
Using land surveying will identify and verify a range of different measurements for a property or land, depending on the survey you want to be used and the exact land being surveyed. Once this has been detailed into a report, it can be used for many purposes, including for architects looking to develop the land or people interested in buying or selling the home.
Equipment Used By Land Surveyors Whilst land surveying may not seem very technological, it is important land surveyors use modern software and equipment. This will not only keep all measurements and details accurate, but it can also be used to create a design and plan of the land being surveyed, clearly mapping out all the measurements of the land and demonstrating the boundaries this land holds.
Software tools such as AutoCAD allow you to draft plans and map your measurements effectively, which are also easy to read for any other parties who require the measurements of your land. If any construction work is taking place, this is essential to give all parties the correct information regarding the land, so construction work is completed safely.
Other equipment that is also commonly used by land surveyors includes:
Aerial & Terrestrial Scanners GPS Theodolites Additionally, land surveyors should also take images and make calculations to gain a good understanding of the measurements of the land and the space that is available.
Other than construction projects, the information gathered by land surveyors can also be used for various other purposes. Construction is often the most common use of land surveys, however, it can also be used for mining interests and tunnel building, as well as keeping the property up to date with any new laws it does not adhere to.
Types of Land Surveyors There are many different land surveyors you may require for particular projects, with each land surveyor having a particular skill set to ensure you have the correct information for each type of land. Typically land surveyors will identify legal property lines and boundaries of the land, determining the exact locations of where your estate ends and where construction projects can take place.
Land surveyors who deal with construction and engineering will identify the location of roads and buildings and the depth required for building foundations. They will also find any restrictions on the property which could prevent work being completed. Other types of land surveyors include:
Forensic Surveyors Geodetic Surveyors Hydrographic Surveyors Marine Surveyors Mine Surveyors With many different land surveyors available, it is important you choose the correct option for your land and property and always gain the information you require. Our team can always advise you regarding the most suitable land surveyors for you.
