What Is The Objective Of Property Survey?

 A property survey is done to understand the features of the piece of land in question. It is called mapping and it includes dividing the land into different areas like high, low, flood, forest, and grass. The objective of mapping is to make maximum utilization of land with minimum damage to the environment. 

You will agree that it is the environment that faces the maximum brunt of development. Deforestation and drying of ponds and wells are the biggest examples of the environmental impact of the development work. But it doesn’t mean that humans should stop developing land. It means that the development work has to be environmentally friendly. There should be minimum to no impact on the environment. 

Let’s see how land mapping helps save the environment

1. Land Surveying

It all starts with the surveying of the land in question. For land surveying, advanced technology drones are used. Drones are flown over the land to capture everything that makes the land. Drones capture images for future study and mapping. It is called 3D scanner surveying as the images and vast data collected by drones are used for creating a 3D model of the development work.

2. 3D model

It is a virtual model showcasing everything included in the development work. It helps study the present expanse of development, anticipate future challenges, and look for long-term solutions to the problems. Also, the 3D model helps study the environmental impact and encourages us to look for solutions to reduce the impact.

For example, take a tree survey that shows the vegetation available such as its expansion and how much of the vegetation needs to be cleared to make way for roads, buildings, and infrastructure. When you have concrete data about trees to fall, you can look for ways to save as much vegetation as possible. 

3. Maximize land use

Another advantage of land surveying and mapping is to maximize the land use. Drone surveying gives authentic data to make decisions. Also, you get a load of data that can help find the available land and maximize its use. 

Conclusion

A property survey is the first step in land development. The development could be related to a city or infrastructure. However, a study of the land is required to locate natural resources so they can be saved and preserved. In this way, the environmental impact of development work can be reduced to a large extent.
