What information should I provide to my surveyor?
Any information you possess regarding the history of your property – including observations or anecdotal evidence – should be shared with your surveyor. You should provide copies of any record documents you have, including:
- Previously completed surveys
- Property deed and maps
- Easement descriptions
- Architectural or engineering plans (for staking, monitoring, or other construction jobs)
- Title Insurance policy and/or Preliminary Title Report (for boundary surveys)
Note: if a document is required to properly and legally perform the scope of services (such as a Preliminary Title Report) is not available, the cost to obtain the document may be added to the cost estimate for the work.
