WHAT DOES A LAND SURVEYOR DO?

Land surveyors do a variety of tasks such as updating boundary lines and preparing sites for construction so legal disputes can be prevented. We produce plats of surveys and describe property.

Land surveyors are involved with measuring properties and pieces of land to determine boundaries. Information about boundaries is necessary for many reasons:
- helps determine construction location for roads or buildings.
- settles property line disputes.
- leads to the creation of maps.

The maps and land descriptions created by a land surveyor are usually considered legally binding. A surveyor may be called on to present his findings in a courtroom setting. Because of the legal and precise nature of the work, one needs to be licensed before working as a land surveyor.
