What is a land survey?

A land survey is the process of measuring and mapping a piece of land to accurately record its boundaries, features and layout. A professional land surveyor uses equipment to identify property boundaries, buildings, land levels and other important site features. The information collected during a land survey is used for planning applications, construction projects, property purchases and boundary clarification.

When do I need a land survey?

You may need a land survey when planning a building project, purchasing land, applying for planning permission, or resolving a boundary question. Architects, developers and property owners often rely on surveys to provide accurate measurements before designing extensions, new buildings or landscaping work. A qualified land surveyor ensures that the information used for planning and construction is reliable.

How long does a land survey take?

The time required for a land survey depends on the size and complexity of the site. Smaller residential surveys can often be completed within a few hours, while larger or more detailed surveys may take longer. After the site work is completed, the land surveyor processes the collected data to produce accurate drawings and plans for the client.

What information does a land survey include?

A professional land survey typically includes property boundaries, building positions, land levels, access points and surrounding features. The survey drawings produced by a land surveyor provide a clear overview of the site and can be used by architects, planners and developers to support planning applications and construction projects.
