What Does a Land Surveyor Do?

Apr 25, 2022

Have you ever looked at a piece of land and wondered how it got its shape? How did the property boundaries get created? Who decides where a road or stream should go? The answer to all these questions is a land surveyor. Surveying is essential for construction projects, from building roads and bridges to tunnels and dams. According to Zippia, around 39,024 land surveyors work in the United States. This figure indicates how important a land surveyor can be in today's day and age.


There are many different types of surveying, but all land surveyors use some combination of the following six services.


1. Boundary Surveys


A boundary survey is the most common type of survey requested by individuals and businesses. It is used to determine the property lines of a piece of land. This information is essential for anyone who wants to build on or develop a piece of land.


2. Topographic Surveys


A land surveyor can conduct a topographic survey to create a map of a piece of land's natural and man-made features. This information is essential for planners, architects, and engineers designing projects that impact the ground.


3. Construction Surveys


Construction surveys ensure that a construction project is proceeding as planned. This type of survey is essential for ensuring the safety of workers and the public.


4. As-built Surveys


A land surveyor can do an as-built survey to document the finished product of a construction project. The details can be useful for anyone who needs to know the exact dimensions and location of the project.


5. Land Title Surveys


A land title survey is used to determine the ownership of a piece of land for anyone who wants to buy or sell a piece of property.


6. Control Surveying


This type of surveying is typically done to establish a control network for a construction project. The surveyor will take measurements and create a map of the project site.
