Whether you're considering a new city planning project or are expanding a commercial structure, include professional land surveying as part of your game plan. A land survey gives you crucial information about your property and prevents some potential headaches down the road. Below, a few reasons to hire a surveying professional are discussed in more detail.

3 Reasons to Hire a Surveying Professional 

1. Know Your Boundaries

Can you say with 100% certainty you know where your property ends and your neighbor's begins? This is essential if you want to make the best use of the space you have while also respecting other people’s property. Identifying boundary lines can also safeguard you in the event a neighboring home or business tries to expand onto your land.

2. Comply With the Law

Commercial establishments must meet codes and standards and honor the parameters set by local and state zoning boards. Your land survey will ensure you stay in compliance with all applicable regulations, such as how far apart the buildings need to be, what type of septic system should be used, and where to install features like parking lots and landscaping.

3. Keep on Top of Improvements

If you're purchasing a building for your business or your city planning project, a land survey can tell you what aspects of the structure would benefit from improvement. You could also pose your plan for the space and gauge more accurately how well it fits into the reality of the structure. Before you invest in massive improvements, know first exactly what needs to be remedied; you might be saving yourself a lot of money in the process.
