What a waste of two minutes of my time geez😂

A flipper who used to work for the city bought a house near me . Platted maybe 100 years ago(my house is from 1901). They had it surveyed and what do you know, it was now 175sq.ft. bigger, big enough to squeeze another house on with a variance. It is a perfectly rectangular lot and i'cm sure surveyors could multiply back then(47x100) was the same back then as now) but the city told me modern surveys are more accurate and was a rubber stamp for their former employee.

How do you get the experience?

we live on 80 acer parcel it was surveyed in 1887 spokane area, we moved in 1977, fence line has been established since 1905, new neighbors move in and have a guy with a GPS and tries to tell us that the fence is off to their advantage of 12 feet. you can see from google earth that the lines have been there forever perfectly in line with the Township and plot. there is no way in hell i was going to accept that line and I did pull the rebar pin he did. I also know that one of the pins in the area was moved when a bridge went out and it wasn't put back in the exact spot. i wasn't there when the surveyor came nor did my neighbor let me know the were going to survey. The neighbors that moved in was daughter to the owner that a decade before wanted to sell that section to my father he was also the one who put the original fence in, why would he rip himself off 12 feet? I'm going to ask the county for the plot map

And surveyors no how to miniiulate the +&- and if you have back records you can control the out come and shave land to were there is no owners to a small parcel maybe to help a big land owner to retain rights ways ext… for yaks big spenders and also can manipulate the land land coordinates to rotate land from a corner to fig and smudge there is secrets of the trade and all surveyors know each other so they could smudge a 30k right away out for a big land owner who spends big with them.

This is not what we wanted. What we want is to download a gis shapefile for ArcPro.

great info... Thou I wish he will talk more about the necessary skills to become a L.S. like Math and of course organization and detail skills. challenging Math is my main concern

reminds me of Chandler park

Ugh going through this at the moment, there's a 10m road reserve between our neighbours property and ours and they refuse to accept and acknowledge that because of the existing road positioning traversing accross the road reserve into our land and into her land also. We are getting it surveyed and awaiting the chaos and damage that's going to come afterwards. Such a shame that people don't understand how it works!

Many begin at the wrong point, and then... End up somewhere else 😂😳😁

So when a client signs up a surveyor to perform a survey of their property, do they pay the entire cost up front or does the surveyor bill them based on total time involved?

Excellent overview!

Woah, you should show the window from the inside. Beautiful truck, i love frontiers

I’m a car guy. Was at a car meet and this guy was asking if ppl were looking for work. I was but didn’t say anything, no1 said anything so I went ahead and I said I was. Long story short I’m now working at a land surveying company getting on the job training. Didn’t know this job existed till I showed up the first day. Only couple days in and I’m getting it down alrdy. Basically just common sense. Very determined to make something out of this.

thank you so much sir! I'm from a neighboring state, and was considering surveying. There's a school for it, and I just had to be sure this is the path I want to go down. This answered MANY of my questions, great video!

Sigh please don’t say no one would risk their license. Yes they would if the pay off is high enough and if there’s a racial element they are willing to lie and cheat to maintain the status quo.

Nice description. It all works well until the corners aren't in.

Or maybe the surveyor is incompetent. We had a surveyor do a survey so wrong our house was almost entirely on someone else’s land. We didn’t find out until the farm our land was next to was sold and the new owners had a survey done. We had our second survey done and they both said our house was 90% on their land. We were on 5 acres and able to give an acre at the back of our land to the new owner in exchange for the acre was house was on, but it could’ve went really bad. Thankfully, they were understanding that we had no idea. I found out later there was at least two other times he surveyed properties so badly that homes were built not totally on their lot. One was a double wide they actually had to take part and move.

Thank you

Do lots disappear?

Thanks

Hi there, not sure you will see this as it's an older video. How difficult was the math for the exam? I just applied for a certificate program through a university that should help me meet the requirements and supposedly prepare me for the FS exam, but I have always struggled a bit with more advanced math

How are you getting your 6 year experience before becoming a surveyor? Thanks for the video by the way straight to the point 🫡

Ha Corrupt survers excist Neighbor hired one that put the property line a foot over City used that survey to issue a building permit Dad didn’t notice until a rv garage went up and he knew it was wrong By the time he could get the city out the building was up so the city gave it a waiver Neighbor knew what he was doing No one got in trouble

Actually, since FEMA started using risk rating 2.0, to rate their flood insurance policies, they no longer count the crawlspace or even a basement as a floor.The floor actually begins at the top of of the foundation, so crawlspaces no longer count as a floor in FEMA’s eyes That’s old legacy rules, and basements, is not something that really qualified.

Wait you said at the end that you dont need experience at all to begin a career at surveying vut then you said that you need 6 years of becoming a surveyor?.. so which is it i am comfused i am currently working on my associates and thinking of getting a bachelors in civil engineering ir surveying just thought yiu should kno

Help please what if the survey was wrong and a house was built on wrong property can I sue surveyor

What level of education is required for land surveying?

I work for the department of transportation for Oklahoma and I noticed they have a position for land surveyor and I looked into and it peaked my interest and being from rural Oklahoma being outside is something that’s always been in my blood so that’s not a problem. What would be the best way to get started without a college degree to become a surveyor?

Im currently in the army, I will get out of the military (my mos 13F) with 9 years of service and the bread and butter of my job is working with maps and a whole lot of land navigation. im really interested in surveying would you say the time in the military be considered as experience given I graduate from college with a surveying degree? im currently working towards getting my basics out of the way with an online college.

How did you get started and get referrals from licensed surveyors? What kind of company gave you your first job?

Great video, I recently got an opportunity to train under a licensed surveyor and I think it is gonna be awesome

Can someone who's 35 looking to reskill get into this field even at an apprentice level?

Around where I live, it's hilly and our bedrock is monolithic but weak sandstone. The rock wears underground in dome(ish) shapes, covered with sand, then soil on top. The sand and soil slowly moves downhill, with the topsoil sliding down faster than the stuff down closer to the rock. A pin at the crest of a hill will usually be where you expect if shooting up from the valley or a pass, but corners on the sides will have moved radially downhill. I found one once that was four feet directly below where it should have been and the LS tag was on the DOWNHILL end. Over the decades, it had flipped. Life is a mystery.

Cool ❤ thank you for sharing this cool bit of history

Very well explained . Thank you.😊

Was offered a job surveying I’m only 17 little job experience and no diploma they said I can work very outdoors and country

Good video!!! Very enjoyable!!! Thanks!!!

This helped tremendously. I'm looking to buy a home in a Zone AE in Arizona, but after reviewing FEMA maps I am pretty sure the house sits about 2 feet above the baseline flood elevation. Sounds like I need to get an elevation certification done! Really appreciate the explanation including the bit about the crawlspace, very informative! 👍

Do you have an email where I can reach you

Thank you for providing this info. I'm a Tennessee real estate agent with a listing in a flood zone. This information helped me tremendously.

I'm thinking of doing land surveying instead of civil engineering. I'm 20 years old and a civil engineering student, and I still plan on finishing my degree as I only have a year and a half left. I had an internship last summer and I hated being in the office all day, I absolutely couldn't stand sitting down for that long. I did some surveying during that internship though, and I loved it. I'll probably have to do another semester or two of schooling to get my PLS license, but that's fine with me. I just love being active and going outside. Even in harsh conditions it's gotta be better than being in the office all day. Most people think I should just pursue engineering as it pays more, but I do not want to sacrifice my mental health for some more money. I still do plan on taking the FE exam this summer as I feel it could be useful later in life. Maybe I'll start my own business later, and having a PE and PLS could be very useful. Maybe I'll just do half surveying, half engineering, and both could still be useful. I don't know yet, but I will learn a lot about what I want to do at the next internship I accepted; My job title for it is "Surveying technician." You made me feel a lot better about my decision. When you said the person you think should be a surveyor is the one who wants to go out in those harsh conditions, that really hit home and I feel that's exactly who I am. Most people think I'm crazy for wanting to do anything outside when there's a huge snowstorm or a lot of rain, but that's something I don't mind. Thank you for this video.

We had a dike system put in through our property. At that time the boundary pins were lost. Now we don't know where the corners are on the property. Shouldn't the contractors have placed them back again? There's also a big difference in the city web site of our boundary lines compared to when we bought the property and the surveys for this dike. Now it appears small buildings are over the boundary lines on a few of us in the neighborhood. How do we proceed and see where our boundary lines are according to the legal description when we purchased this property? It shouldn't have changed at any time.

HLO,WANNA LEARN SURVEYING COURSE FROM WHOM SHOULD I LEARN FROM AN SURVEYOR/ TRAINING INSTITUTE I'M LITTLE BIT CONFUSED SOLVE THIS BIT!!! WHERE R U FROM ? IS SURVEYING WORTH OF????

Good definition, makes sense and is beginning to give me insight.

Lloyd here in Texas, they Buy a Bigger Shotgun, than the neighbor has to settle the Boundary Line Dispute !!! 🤯

Hello, Should I buy a land without a survey ? What is your opinions ? Thanks

I see jobs pop up for party chief and instrument tech and land surveyor. I’m not sure what the difference is between all of them is. Can someone explain? Thanks

Ooh surveyors hate this. They don’t have time to go to court for is this. My neighbor across the street had this issue. They paid for a good survey. They found there are two different property lines both registered with the county. The property remains empty and the city has to mow it. At my current home we found the cable tv guys removed a property corner. There now is a telephone post (gray metal thing about 3 ft high) where the marker should be.
