Tips On Entrusting The Services Of Davidson County Land Surveyor

By Deborah King


Are you looking forward to having your plot surveyed? Well, when people are in need of such services, they often make their decisions based on only one factor, price. Too often, this leads to discontent with their selection and sometimes a poor quality survey, too. The following tips will help you in hiring the right professional Davidson County land surveyor to survey your plot.

The requirements for continuing education for professional plot cartographers vary from state to state. It is very unusual that no continuing education would be required. Most states have a set number of hours that must be completed every year or every two years.

Geographic Information System or GIS technicians and workers rely on cartographers for mapping data. The work of the property cartographer has shaped our world as we know it, and it all begins with small survey markers. It may be just a small survey marker, but is one of the millions that a cartographer uses to take thorough measurements which will develop maps that will in the future become impressive constructions master planned communities, new roads, or entire cities - and in every step along the way is a cartographer.

Does the firm or individual have Workers Compensation Insurance? Each state is different, and not all states may require this. However, who is responsible if the individual you entrust, or their employees, get injured or hurt while surveying on your plot? If this type of insurance is required in your state make sure that the person or firm you hire to survey your plot has this insurance and is in compliance with your state law.

Construction Surveying; In the field, construction cartographers are the driving force behind any development; they collaborate with engineers to make sure that the buildings are built within its boundaries and coincide with the type of soil where it is built on. Hydrographic surveying; Hydrographic cartographers work in the ocean or lake, ascertaining boundaries, depths, and more. Geodesy entails surveying where you can obtain precise measurements for satellite.

Continuing education opportunities are available through professional organizations, such as the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping. Although membership in a professional plot surveying organization is not a requirement for licensing, it can be a very valuable source for meeting continuing education requirements, as many programs are only open to members of the organization.

They may also be offered directly through your state licensing board, or as non-credit courses through colleges and universities offering a program in plot surveying or a related field. Some may even be offered online, making it much easier for professional plot cartographers to fit such classes into their schedule. When selecting applicable courses, plot cartographers may want to seek their employer's approval; some employers may even pay for such courses themselves.

The reason you entrust a property cartographer to survey your property is to determine the outline, or extents, of the asset. If the corners of the property are not marked, how will you know this? Besides, if it is not marked with long-lasting markers, what good is it? Never accept wooden stakes as markers, unless they are provisional due to some mitigating such as nearby construction activity or imminent property grading.
