Land Surveying FAQs
Request a land survey before buying, selling, building, subdividing, installing major site improvements, or resolving a boundary concern. Early survey work can help identify property limits, easements, encroachments, and approval needs before decisions are made.
Helpful information includes the property address, legal description, reason for the survey, available deeds or previous plans, and any deadlines tied to a purchase, permit, approval, or construction schedule. If you do not have everything, our team can help confirm what is needed.
Timelines depend on the survey type, property size, location, site access, records research, field conditions, and approval or registration requirements. We confirm expected timing once the scope and available information are reviewed.
A survey may identify encroachments, missing evidence, easements, title concerns, or differences between existing occupation and legal boundaries. When this happens, TULLOCH can explain the findings and outline practical next steps for review, design, approvals, or legal coordination.
Yes. Survey information often supports building permits, consent and severance applications, minor variances, subdivisions, site plans, easements, and right-of-way requirements. The type of plan or survey needed depends on the municipality, approval authority, and project scope.
