- What does a surveyor do?
A surveyor is a licensed engineer who stakes the boundaries of the property and creates a scale drawing that shows the location of the residence, fence lines, and any improvements that have been made to the property (patio, garage) to be sure that they do not encroach on an adjoining property.- A surveyor will also point out any established easements, access to any public right of way and determine if there are any building setback violations.
- A geological engineer will review public geological surveys and map out the distance of a property to a known fault line and any other geological hazards, such as unstable ground that may be a threat to your investment.
- Specialty engineers can also assess ground water and storm water management, slope instability, land fill conditions and make recommendations for water well and drainage pumping systems.
