How Important are Land Surveys to the Developers

by Vision Surveys Land Surveyor Companies & Consultants Perth
Before a real estate property is developed or renovated, land surveys are to be compulsorily conducted. Through land surveys, a land or a construction site is measured and mapped for collecting all the vital information needed before the task at hand is commenced. Land surveys conducted by licensed surveyors are the key to establishing the key site measurements, legal boundaries and levels of the property. Even in the land survey document, the structure's condition as located on the site and the weak spots to be reinforced are all described. Serving as the baseline of the project, this information on land surveys is much needed for the next stages involved in the construction process.

In the land survey report, the data shown are all consolidated in the form of a set of drawings as required by the building designers, architects and draftsmen for understanding the landscape and creating designs suitable to the site conditions. The structural engineers need the land survey report for planning the structural requirements of the building and ensuring the building’s safety and feasibility.

When Is Land Survey Needed?
Your project will need land surveys by the licensed surveyors regardless of its location in Perth, when you –

  • Have planned to construct a new home
  • Are renovating the already built property significantly
  • Are existing a prevailing property
  • Are you erecting a fence surrounding your property
  • Are changing the land use

Land surveys are a must in these common situations and instances, and you have to hire registered surveyors.
 
Why Licensed Land Surveyors?
Land surveyors are the first professionals to arrive at the construction sites and begin their job, that is conduct surveys. They look through the theodolites or else the precision optical instruments set on tripods that they use for measuring and mapping the site. This is how the land surveyors –

  • Record the survey results
  • Determine the site measurements and topographic heights
  • Confirm the property boundaries
  • Describe the site features
  • Investigate the property’s or the land’s legal descriptions
  • Prepare the sketches, maps and all the final survey reports
  • Give advice and provide information to the involved design and construction professionals

So, once you have decided to develop or renovate a property, you will have to engage surveyors for land surveys so that you have peace of mind, and be safe from potential delays.

By undertaking the land surveys, the licensed land surveyors produce the survey reports and drawings with legal standing. These are then recognized as evidence in case boundary disputes arise with neighbours.

Now, as we come to the end of the discussion, it is worth mentioning that after the surveyors have done surveying the property, then they look into recording the land survey report and drawings in Perth's land information system. After that, the building designer receives the furnished copy of the entire land survey and starts designing the renovation part. Next, the landscape designers and structural engineers even receive a land survey copy. After the drawings are completed, only the surveyors can lodge the plans and the needed documents to Perth’s local council. Hence, it is evident you will need the services of surveyors to survey your property before it is renovated.
