A Brief History of Land Surveying

Land surveying has been around in some form since almost the beginning of civilization. Humans have always had a desire to explore the world around them and venture out from their homes. Surveying was a natural response to this desire. Here is brief history of land surveying.

·         Primitive Surveying

Ancient civilizations from all around the world practiced some sort of surveying. The ancient Egyptians were particularly adept at land surveying. Because taxation was based on the division and distribution of land, the Egyptians would periodically have to employ land surveyors to map the various parcels. Although the surveying was sophisticated, the instruments used were quite primitive. Sometimes, surveyors used nothing but a piece of a rope to measure and partition parcels of land.

·         Later Developments in Surveying

Although there are many examples of surveying from ancient history, most of the civilizations involved were unable to actually survey land and map locations accurately. That change with the development of triangulation. Triangulation allows surveyors to accurately measure the distance between two points or, alternatively, the height of an elevated point in the distance. Methods like triangulation and developments in surveying technology significantly increased the accuracy of surveying.

·         Modern Surveying

Recent technological developments like the GPS and the Trimble Robotic Total Station have revolutionized surveying. This equipment has made land surveying more accurate than ever. Indeed, surveying and mapping areas with difficult terrain and dense tree cover is easier than ever.

Why You Should Contact a Land Surveying Service Once Your Construction Project is Complete

Just because the power tools have been put away and the heavy machinery has been retired doesn’t mean that a construction project is complete. The final thing you will need to do in order to wrap-up your construction project is to have an experienced surveyor perform an as-built survey. These surveys are performed to record the site conditions after construction and illustrate what has finally been built.

Here are a few of the reasons why you should hire an experienced surveyor to conduct an as-built survey once your construction project is complete:

·         Legal Protection – When an as-built survey is conducted, a certified drawing will be created that illustrates and details what was finally built. Furthermore, an electronic copy will be provided for your records and future use. In the event that a future tenant or lessee makes changes to property, you will be able to prove that you didn’t build it. Therefore, you will not be held accountable for any damages or regulatory fines that result.

·         Peace of Mind – Even if you’ve closely followed a professionally rendered land survey map, it’s a good idea to double-check that your project was completed where it should be. When an as-built survey is ordered, our experienced surveyors not only locate the physical features that were built but also verify that the property corners are in the proper location.

·         Ensures Regulatory Compliance – The biggest reason that you should order an as-built survey is to verify to the appropriate regulating authority that your project has been built according to the original designs that were submitted and approved. In other words, an as-built survey ensures that your project is compliant with state and city regulations, which can save you a ton of stress and a whole lot of money.

Once your construction project is complete, contact Boundary Zone Inc. to order an as-built survey. Our expert surveyors will complete your as-built survey as quickly as possible and with the highest attention paid to accuracy and precision.

A land surveyor is a licensed and regulated design professional who understands and is able to delineate the physical characteristics of land.
