Surveys incorporate various elements of geometry, physics, law, math and engineering. A Texas land survey can satisfy many important needs of different fields.

Surveys are used by many professionals. For example cartographers and geologists utilize topographic surveys to come up with elevation maps. Archeologists utilize both the current and historic land surveys before they perform excavations. Professionals who work in the engineering and building fields start construction projects after a reliable survey is carried out on the site. Real estate and mortgage professionals also use surveys to find the location of boundaries and building structures before closing a transaction. Lawyers, title insurers and judges use the legal descriptions that land surveys offer when resolving issues associated with property litigation.

Another reason to hire a surveyor is when you find that one of the corners of the property you want to buy is missing. If you plan to put up a fence, knowing the boundaries of your property is essential. This will help you to avoid building on the property of your neighbor and end up with the burden of removing and rebuilding the fence in the right location.

The survey will also help protect your investment since you will know the exact dimensions of the property and any improvements on the land.

Lenders usually ask for recent land surveys so that they can confirm that a property have not changed in a drastic manner. Banks also use the information to find out about the location of boundary lines.
