The Best Land Development Practices






If you plan on upgrading, renovating or even if you plan on moving to a new home, you have to take into consideration the type of work that engineers and construction workers put in. Before you share your plans, it’s important to have a land development service behind your back. When it comes to land developing, here is some of what you can expect.

Topographic Maps


Topographic maps illustrate manmade and natural features. They use contour lines to provide engineers, geologists, building contractors and architects a detailed map of the area. It collects most information that will affect the design. For instance, it takes note of natural features as well as manmade features.

Boundary Services


Boundary services establish or recover property corners. This intricate process requires the following:

  • Client consultation
  • Governmental research
  • Field measuring
  • Field inspection
  • Collection of evidence
  • Comparison of evidence
  • Determination of boundary lines
If you’re about to develop a plot of land, it’s important to know where your property ends and begins. Often, property owners aren’t sure of the specifics of their property lines.

ALTA/ACSM Surveys

The ALTA surveys and ACSM surveys adopted minimal standards when it comes to the preparation of boundary surveys. Here is what the ALTA survey illustrates:

Improvements
Rights-of-way
Easements

The point is to give the title company the information that it needs to insure the title.

Construction Surveys


Construction surveys provide the contractor with a survey that allows him or her to construct the project as planned. Often, land development services will use robotic surveying to create an accurate layout. No matter what type of building or where it is, if upgrades have been completed, then odds are construction surveying was completed.

When it comes to rebuilding or improving on a lot, you need to invest in land development. This is going to tell you a lot about your property. It allows you to rebuild, expand or to sell your land for a fair price.

Before you drop your pet off at one of these facilities, however, there are certain items you should pack. Your Pet's Favorite Food Some dogs do not respond well to a new environment.

Proper Identification Make sure your dog's ID card or microchip is up to date before you leave your pet at the resort . Whichever form of ID you choose, it should have your pet's name, your name, and a contact number. Emergency Contact Information You should also give the resort emergency contact information.
