It’s true in real estate that it’s all about location, as this greatly affects the integrity of everything from a house to a whole subdivision. It’s important to build on a lot that can properly support your project, thus enabling a large return for investors and making the property more attractive to potential residents. The best way to ensure your residential building meets all these requirements is to invest in a land development surveying company like Horizon Land Works.

Informs The Construction Process

At its core, the land development survey process starts in the pre-construction phase for real estate and other land development projects. This team’s responsibility is to create a topographical map of landmarks and features that are close to the proposed lot, including:

• Other real estate properties

• Roadways and intersections

• Bodies of water

• Tree lines

• Changes in elevation

This is essentially the equivalent of getting a one-sheet with all the lot’s specs, explaining everything associated with the property. It’s critical for construction crews to take this information and use it to inform how to go about the building process. How deep does the foundation need to be? Is there anything preventing the current blueprints from being executed? The land development survey team is there to ensure your plans can be turned into a profitable house, subdivision or apartment complex without spending extra time, money and resources. This also prevents you from having to deviate from your demanding and unforgiving timeline should unexpected problems arise. With Horizon Land Works’ help, you can apply for the proper zoning and building permits with confidence.

Ensures Client & Resident Satisfaction

Getting a full 360 degree view of your chosen real estate construction location allows your future residents to get the most out of the property. Whether you’re renting out a house or inviting families to settle in the suburbs, getting a land development survey done gives future residents the security of knowing their surroundings. This can prevent certain safety issues and can allow a resident to settle comfortably into a new home. Perhaps he or she would like to construct a tree swing, plant a garden, do a little farming or invest in solar energy panels — all of which require making changes, no matter the size, to a piece of land. Horizon Land Works can help you enhance the overall experience of your future clients by getting a comprehensive view of the property.

Protects Your Overall Investment

An unfortunate aspect of real estate development — in the construction phase or post-construction phase — includes disputes over the lot itself. While it can be a simple misunderstanding of where one party’s property line ends and where another party’s line starts, it has the potential to escalate into an expensive situation; thus stopping the entire project and throwing off its entire timeline. Land development surveying helps this issue by illustrating clear boundaries of nearby areas, preventing crews from stepping over those lines and preventing future disputes. This process also informed the project manager and company at large about what they’re responsible for and what the neighbors are responsible for. Aside from promoting positive public relations between the company and the community, this will make the entire operation that much easier.
