Q: I've been told that I need to get a survey done because I'm interested in the borders of my property. I'm uncertain what I will do so as to hire someone to do a survey in Mobile. What must i expect from dealing with a surveyor - am i going to need to provide any information in advance when it comes to my property to get a survey in Mobile started?
A: Overall it's actually a very simple process. When you want to order a survey in Mobile you simply need to contact an agency that does residential land survey. The surveyor will run-down a list of questions with you to be able to garner some necessary information on the project; primarily the address of the land, the municipality where it's located (in or around Mobile?) and if you're purchasing the land they'll need the name of the current owner.
Q: Every project I've been involved with around my property has always been a lengthy one. Since the survey is an outdoor job that may get held up by a lot of factors, what's the average amount of time it requires to a get yourself a survey in Mobile complete once the project starts?
A: For most residential projects, it's just 2 to 3 3 weeks to perform a survey in Mobile. Obviously this can vary due to other factors that may hold the process up. During the time in which a survey in Mobile has been completed, the survey will have to start by gathering pertinent data surrounding the property in questions - often beginning with court public records and existing documents on past surveys. After the collection of data is complete, the survey begins on the property. From the completed survey, the surveyor provides the land owner or requesting party with up-to-date maps. For other projects relating to subdivisions or construction topography, enough time frame will vary depending on the size of the project.
Q- It appears like there's a lot of information that has to be gathered and compiled for a residential land survey in Mobile. Challenging information that's being handled by the surveyor, just what can I be prepared to receive after the survey in Mobile in completed?
A- The boundaries of the property are usually marked, particularly in the corners. The markers which are used to mark the corners tend to be permanent markers such as iron pins or other more permanent material. BIM Surveys Whitby carry the name or identification of the surveyor in the event that someone must contact them later on. Beyond the markers, the individual ordering the survey receives copies of the new and wholly accurate property map. The initial is held by the surveyor, and extra copies can be easily requested to be passed out to attorneys, contractors, etc.
