When you connect with Apex Land Surveying and Mapping LLC for any of our land surveying services, it is common to wonder how you can contribute to a smooth and efficient process. Our clients ask this of us with regard to any survey they schedule, wondering:
“How can we help with the process?”
Can you help with the process? Absolutely! Asking how is the more important factor.
Whether you have requested a Land Survey Plat (LSP), Improvement Survey Plat (ISP), or another service, there are several key ways you can assist. By taking a few proactive steps, you can help ensure that our team at Apex Land Surveying and Mapping LLC has everything needed to deliver accurate results promptly.
Client Steps in Land Surveying and Mapping
Here are some of the most common steps we encourage clients to consider with regard to helping the process of land surveying and mapping:
1. Provide Your Title Commitment/Vesting Deed
One of the first things we request from our clients is a copy of the Title Commitment or Vesting Deed for the subject property. While our team conducts thorough research on the county level, this document provides another crucial piece of evidence for the surveyor to rely on.
This adds another layer of assurance that the boundaries and legal descriptions we are working with are accurate. The sooner you can provide this documentation, the faster we can proceed with the fieldwork.
2. Notify Your Neighbors
Once we provide a start date for your survey, it is a good idea to inform your neighbors about the upcoming work. Though we always make an effort to notify neighboring properties when access is needed, neighbors are often more receptive when the notification comes directly from you.
Many times, we hear comments like, “I wish my neighbor had told me sooner.” Avoiding misunderstandings and delays by keeping the lines of communication open with those around your property can greatly enhance the surveying process.
3. Communicate Any Boundary Disputes
If you are aware of any boundary disputes or disagreements with a neighbor, it is absolutely essential to inform us. These situations can be contentious and sometimes even dangerous.
Knowing ahead of time allows us to take the proper precautions and ensure the safety of both our team and you as the client. Open communication about any issues helps us manage the situation appropriately and ensures a smoother land surveying process.
4. Ensure Safe Access to the Property
For a successful land survey, safe access to your property is crucial. If you have locked gates, please make sure they are unlocked, or provide the gate code. If your property has an electric fence, de-energize it while the surveyor is on-site.
Also, if you have pets or animals, please secure them during the survey to prevent any disruptions or potential safety issues. Ensuring these factors are taken care of in advance will help us complete the fieldwork efficiently.
