Licensed surveyors support the work of engineers, architects, valuers, and builders right through the development process, providing invaluable assistance, data, and advice to each stakeholder. The expertise of a licensed surveyor ensures the accuracy of the space, provides location and definition of complex design elements and protects from encroachment on boundaries, easements, and offsets. 

When it comes to planning and permits for your building project, licensed Land Surveyors hold a great deal of insight and expertise that leads to quicker approvals and less delays. They have the vision to foresee where problems in the process will arise and how to deal with them well before it can cause an expansive delay.
