When you purchase property in California, your realtor or attorney may advise you to hire a Licensed Land Surveyor. Land surveying services will locate boundary monuments, property lines and easements described in the Title Report. The boundary survey will reveal the location of existing monuments, missing monuments, and possible encroachments. You will be advised by the Land Surveyor as to further actions which may be necessary including replacement of missing monuments, development of a Boundary Line Agreement or Lot Line Adjustment. Filing a Record of Survey may be required under some circumstances.
Your architect or landscape architect may also request a topographic survey to serve as the basis for design of structures, driveways, utilities, patios and pools and other improvements. It may be necessary to perform a boundary survey to verify required setbacks or easements.
Contractors often prefer to have Land Surveyors provide construction staking during the construction process. Some jurisdictions require record plans, setback and elevation certifications to verify that construction conforms with approved plans.
Land Surveyors use electronic distance and angle measuring equipment and computer systems to perform surveys efficiently, accurately and cost effectively. In certain cases, boundary surveys are accomplished using GPS (Global Positioning Systems). In many areas of California LIDAR topography is used by Land Surveyors to assist in mapping development.
