By Marissa Velazquez


Many situations exists where you need Alberta land survey to be done. When you are buying a piece of earth, you need the surveyors to measure and map the terrain so you are assured that the grounds you are venturing into is genuine and the size is right. Also, terrain measurement is important when constructing on it, when tax authorities need information so that they can access the tax, and also when you want to sell it.

Check to ensure that the company has complied with the relevant statutes and by laws that exist within the state. They should be well qualified to provide the services and possess the certificates to prove it. Furthermore, they should have years of experience in the field as it is necessary to gain a lot of knowledge on the software used in the office, and the techniques used on the ground.

It is very easy to access these companies on the internet. Relevant associations and authorities in the area also keep a directory of registered companies, and this information is open for the public to access at any time. Inquire from other terrain owners and get views on who they think can deliver the most excellent results based on their experience in earth related issues.

Before you seal the deal, ensure you have a clear understanding of important issues. This includes the time it will take for the job to be complete and the payment plan. Usually, you will be required to pay a retainer fee at the beginning of the contract. You will pay the remaining amount when the job is done satisfactorily.

Some companies will charge too much yet they deliver the same services as the rest. Government offices, especially offer very efficient services yet they charge very little for the job.

Learn as much as you possibly can about the piece of earth that you want to be surveyed. Information on previous owners and surveys that have been conducted on it are important for the surveyors as they will rely on this to right their report. This makes their work much easier. Such information can be found by visiting the local grounds registry and retrieving any records pertaining to the piece of earth in question.

You should be present so that they can work as planned and finish on time.

  1. Do you know if they do surveys by plane? My boss has put me in charge of finding a plot to build our new project on. It's going to be pretty tricky, but I think it can be done. I just have never done any surveying so I don't want to make any mistakes. http://www.wittlandsurveying.com/services
