What Is A Land Surveyor Atlanta And How To Become One

By Flora Vinson


A land surveyor Atlanta is someone who, at your bidding, lays down the boundaries of a plot of land that you happen to own and determines who owns what. It is the profession to demarcate the boundaries of a plot as specified in a deed. This is a good way to settle disputes regarding ownership.

Surveyors rely on various kinds of tools while surveying the estate and making precise measurements. In the old days, they would use compasses, chains and theodolite. Nowadays however they have more sophisticated methods at their disposal, like GPS and laser. Software is put into service in order to make their task easier.

Such professionals normally have good business because there are plenty of situations where boundaries need to be determined. Especially, if there are government projects like roads, community buildings and parks, one needs to know if the government is encroaching on private property.

Construction companies also need surveyors so that they can arrive at a conclusion about the design of their structure and how to go about building it. The demand for surveyors is very high and rising since the number of people requiring their services for all kinds of estate measurement is steadily increasing.

Those who are interested in this field need to acquire a bachelor's degree in the subject or an equivalent qualification in related disciplines like civil engineering or forestry. They are required to take various exams before they qualify for an internship, after they have to pass another set of exams and then take a final examination for the surveyor's license.

A land surveyor Atlanta makes for a good professional career especially for those who have always been interested in land and the problems relating to it. The job is important since it helps establish ownership. It pays well too.
