Commercial Surveying FAQs
Surveying and permitting may be required for projects such as subdivisions, gravel pits, solar developments, site development, utility installations, roadway improvements, commercial buildings, and land use changes. Requirements vary depending on the size, location, and scope of the project, as well as local and state regulations.
Before contacting a surveyor, it helps to gather the property address, tax map and lot number, deed information, project goals, any existing plans or surveys, and known deadlines. If you do not have all this information, Herrick & Salsbury, Inc. can help identify what is needed and where to find it.
Yes. Commercial surveying often involves multiple professionals, and Herrick & Salsbury, Inc. regularly coordinates with engineers, architects, contractors, attorneys, real estate professionals, and municipal officials. Early coordination helps keep survey work, permitting, design, and project planning aligned.
You should contact a commercial surveyor as early as possible, ideally before design decisions, material orders, or construction timelines are finalized. Early surveying and land use review can identify constraints that may affect the project layout, permitting requirements, and approval timeline.
