Starting a residential residential site development can feel like a big task, especially when there are so many steps - where do I even start? Whether you’re building a single-family home or working on a larger residential development project, it’s important to know what’s required and what to expect. At Davis Engineering and Surveying (DES), we’re here to help guide you through the process.
Preliminary land planning is an essential step in preparing your property for development. At Davis Engineering and Surveying, we take pride in guiding our clients through this initial process, helping to lay the groundwork for a smooth and successful project. Our approach ensures you know the limitations of development on your property and can identify risk factors early on, avoiding potential complications with your land development project.
At DES, we understand the importance of minimizing the impact of our services to your property. That’s why our surveyors utilize the latest surveying and drone technology and follow leave no trace principles – leave what you find, respect wildlife, and properly dispose of waste – during performance of our services. That’s why fall stands out as the best season to schedule a survey.
When it comes to understanding your property boundaries, it’s crucial to know that there is no substitute for a line marking or boundary survey performed by a professional land surveyor. All maps are not created equal and public databases, like qPublic, excel in their intended purpose, but have limitations when it comes to accurately displaying and identifying property boundaries.
FEMA identifies and maps certain areas of land that are prone to flooding based on previous flood history. These maps are revised as flood patterns emerge, but roughly 58% of these maps inaccurately identify Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA) especially in rural areas like North Georgia.
