Land Surveying for
LAW FIRMS
Law firms in the Rochester, NY, area collaborate with Maier Land Surveying when dealing with real estate transactions, property boundary disputes, and litigation involving land ownership issues. The main areas where lawyers and land surveyors work together include:
Boundary Surveys: Land surveyors provide precise boundary surveys for attorneys to ensure accurate property descriptions in real estate contracts.
Property Disputes: Lawyers often turn to land surveyors during property boundary disputes between neighbors. Land surveyors analyze the property and accurately locate the dividing lines between properties and provide a new survey. If the dispute does go into litigation, land surveyors are often called in as expert witnesses to explain complex survey maps to the court.
Zoning and Easement Disputes: In cases in land use issues where there are zoning or easement disputes, land surveyors provide detailed data about the physical characteristics of a property.
Land Surveying for
Architectural Firms and Engineering Firms
Land surveyors help architects and engineers by providing accurate and measurements and detailed topographic maps of a construction site to help them avoid potential issues during construction. Here are several ways in which land surveyors assist architectural and engineering firms:
Site Assessment and Topographic Mapping: Land surveyors conduct a thorough analysis of a construction site before building begins. They map any elevation changes, obstacles, hills and slopes, and give a clear understanding of the site conditions. Land surveyors then create a topographic map with elevation contours.
Establish Property Boundaries: Land surveyors identify property lines and easements to ensure that structures say within legal boundaries.
Locate Utilities: Land surveyors locate underground utilities, helping to avoid any damage to existing water pipes, cables, sewer lines, and electrical cables.
Land Surveying for
Real Estate Agents
Maier Land Surveying accurately define property lines and identify any potential issues like easements or encroachments. This helps realtors to market and sell properties confidently. The key ways in which land surveyors help real estate agents include:
Establish Accurate Property Lines: Land surveyors assess the property and precisely mark the boundaries, ensuring that homebuyers understand the exact land they are purchasing. They also identify any easements including rights-of-ways for utilities or neighbors that may affect property usage.
Zoning Compliance: Land surveyors can verify if a property complies with local zoning regulations.
Boundary Dispute Resolution: If there are property line conflicts, a land surveyor's data report can be used to settle disputes between neighbors.
Land Surveying for
Residential Property Owners
Homeowners benefit by hiring a land surveyor in many ways including:
Building a New Structure: Before building a fence, constructing a new home addition, adding a garage, or other major home improvements, a land survey will ensure that the project is situated within your property lines and that the construction plans adhere to local building and zoning codes.
Buying or Selling a Home: When buying a home, a land survey provides the exact size and dimensions of the property being purchased. When selling a home, an accurate land survey gives sellers confidence that they are providing accurate property information.
Resolving Property Disputes: If a neighbor questions where property lines end, a land survey can provide legal proof of property boundaries.
Identifying Easements: Land surveyors assist homeowners by knowing where easements are located on their property, thus preventing potential conflicts that may arise with utility companies or neighbors regarding property usage.
Land Surveying for
Municipalities
Land surveyors provide municipalities with accurate measurements and maps of land features which serve as the foundation for decision making by urban developers. Precise measurements help municipalities to design and construct public structures, roads, parks, utilities, and more in the most optimal locations that comply with all regulations. Ways in which land surveyors assist municipalities include:
Property Boundary Mapping: Land surveyors accurately define the legal boundaries of land parcels to prevent property disputes and ensure that the land is used properly.
Infrastructure Planning: Land surveyors assist municipalities by providing topographic maps to identify the presence of slopes, obstacles, elevation, and overall terrain of a site which helps to guide the design and placement of infrastructure projects.
Zoning and Urban Development: Land surveying companies provide accurate property data to help municipalities make zoning decisions and determine suitable areas for urban development. They also assist building contractors during construction by ensuring accurate placement of buildings and structures.
