How To Know If A Land Survey Is Accurate
How do you know if a land survey is accurate?
Inaccurate surveys can cost time and money, so how do you ensure yours is up to standard?
Our land survey expert, Dan, talks through exactly what you should expect and which industry standards you should look for when assessing a land survey.
Industry Guidelines
Professional land surveys aren’t guesses, in fact they follow strict standards. In the UK, Laser Surveys use industry guidelines produced by organisations such as RICS and The Survey Association.
Surveyors use top-grade, total stations, GPS, Laser Scanners and Drones to capture data.
They also provide a robust control network and apply redundancy checks within their data.

How To Tell If Your Survey Is Accurate
The bottom line is that you can’t tell whether an existing survey is accurate before you start using it.
You can check who it has been done by, whether there is a record of how the control has been established and the methodology that has been used.
You can mitigate against poor surveys by using an established professional survey company with an excellent track record.
