These descriptions serve as the cornerstone of property boundaries, providing legal clarity and certainty to property owners, real estate transactions, and land disputes. Ensuring these descriptions are precise is not only an essential skill but also a legal requirement.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">To help both seasoned and novice surveyors in this critical aspect of their profession, we introduce a comprehensive resource: "Writing a Legal Description as a Professional Land Surveyor." In this article, we'll delve into the importance of writing accurate and concise legal descriptions, the reasons for their significance, and the specific elements that often pose challenges for new surveyors.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:18pt;"><strong>The Significance of Accurate and Concise Legal Descriptions</strong></span></p><ol><li><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Legal Certainty: Accurate legal descriptions are crucial for establishing clear and unambiguous property boundaries. These descriptions are used to resolve disputes, support property transactions, and provide a foundation for legal documents like deeds and land titles. Any ambiguity or error in the description can lead to costly litigation and confusion.</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Property Rights: Legal descriptions are vital for protecting property rights. They define the exact location, size, and shape of a parcel of land. Without a precise legal description, property owners may find themselves encroaching on their neighbor's land or losing valuable acreage.</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Real Estate Transactions: Real estate transactions heavily rely on accurate legal descriptions. Buyers and sellers need assurance that the property boundaries align with what is described in the documents. A flawed legal description can jeopardize the sale or lead to complications in the future.</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Adverse Possession: An improperly written legal description can open the door to adverse possession claims, where someone may gain ownership rights to a piece of land through continuous occupation. Land surveyors must ensure that legal descriptions accurately reflect the true boundaries to prevent such claims.</span></p></li></ol><p><span style="font-size:18pt;"><strong>Common Challenges in Writing Legal Descriptions</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">New surveyors often face difficulties when crafting legal descriptions due to their complexity. Here are some common challenges:</span></p><ol><li><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Metes and Bounds vs. Lot and Block: Surveyors must be adept at working with different systems of land description, such as metes and bounds (describing a property's boundaries with compass directions and distances) and lot and block (commonly used in subdivisions).</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Precision in Measurements: Ensuring the accuracy of measurements is critical. Miscalculations can lead to significant discrepancies in property boundaries.</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Natural Monuments: Descriptions often reference natural features like rivers, trees, or rocks. Surveyors must accurately identify and describe these landmarks, as they are essential for locating boundaries.</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Bearing and Distance Calls: Understanding how to interpret bearing and distance calls is vital. Errors in azimuth angles or distances can result in property disputes.</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Reconciliation of Overlaps and Gaps: Surveyors must carefully reconcile overlaps and gaps between adjoining properties. Failure to do so can create confusion and disputes.</span></p></li></ol><p><span style="font-size:18pt;"><strong>Introducing "Writing a Legal Description as a Professional Land Surveyor"</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">To assist surveyors in overcoming these challenges and producing accurate legal descriptions, we recommend using our comprehensive resource, "Writing a Legal Description as a Professional Land Surveyor."

<h3><span style="font-size:24pt;">Types of Land Surveys:</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><a href="https://landsurveyorsunited.com/hubs/ai/toolbox/types-of-land-surveyors-diagram-1" target="_blank"><img class="align-right" src="{{#staticFileLink}}11020370262,RESIZE_400x{{/staticFileLink}}" width="300" alt="11020370262?profile=RESIZE_400x" /></a>We have covered <a href="https://landsurveyorsunited.com/articles/types-of-surveying" target="_blank">Types of Land Surveys</a> before but not necessarily in this context.<br /></span></p>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Boundary Survey:</strong></span> The boundary survey is one of the most common types of land surveys. It is conducted to precisely establish and mark the boundaries of a property. The surveyor identifies property corners and measures the property lines, often placing physical markers or monuments at the corners. Boundary surveys are essential for property transactions, resolving boundary disputes with neighbors, and understanding the extent of land ownership.</span></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><em>Example: When a homeowner plans to install a fence, they may request a boundary survey to ensure they do not encroach onto their neighbor's property and that their fence aligns with the legal boundaries.</em></span></p>
<ol start="2">
<li><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>T</strong><strong><span>opographic Survey</span>:</strong></span> A topographic survey focuses on capturing detailed information about the natural and man-made features of a specific area of land. Surveyors use elevation data to create contour lines, indicating changes in the land's terrain. Topographic surveys are vital for site planning, engineering projects, and environmental assessments.</span></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><em>Example: Before constructing a new housing development, a topographic survey is conducted to identify slopes, drainage patterns, and potential building sites.</em></span></p>
<ol start="3">
<li><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>ALTA/NSPS Survey:</strong> </span>The ALTA/NSPS survey is a comprehensive survey adhering to the standards set by the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS). It provides in-depth information about property boundaries, easements, encroachments, and other critical details required for commercial real estate transactions.</span></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><em>Example: When a corporation purchases a large commercial property, an ALTA/NSPS survey is conducted to ensure all potential risks and encumbrances are disclosed, protecting their investment.</em></span></p>
<ol start="4">
<li><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Subdivision Survey:</strong></span> A subdivision survey is performed when a large parcel of land is divided into smaller lots or parcels. The surveyor establishes new boundaries, identifies streets, and ensures compliance with local zoning and subdivision regulations.</span></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><em>Example: When a developer plans to create a new residential neighborhood, a subdivision survey is essential to create individual lots and lay out the infrastructure.</em></span></p>
<ol start="5">
<li><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Flood Elevation Survey:</strong></span> A flood elevation survey determines the elevation of a property relative to designated flood zones. This survey helps property owners assess flood risks and determine insurance requirements.</span></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><em>Example: A homeowner in a flood-prone area may need a flood elevation survey to understand the potential impact of flooding on their property and obtain appropriate insurance coverage.</em></span></p>

It has GPS in it."</em> The truth is while smartphones are convenient and useful for many tasks, they are <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em>not suitable for professional land surveying</em></span>. To ensure accurate and reliable results, it is important to use specialized equipment and software designed for accuracy and precision, and to follow established standards and procedures. There are several reasons for this: </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Limited GPS accuracy:</strong> The GPS in a smartphone is generally accurate to within a few meters, which is not sufficient for precise land surveying. Professional land surveying equipment, such as survey-grade GPS receivers, can provide accuracy to within a few centimeters. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Interference and signal loss:</strong> GPS signals can be affected by various factors, such as atmospheric conditions, nearby buildings or trees, and even the user's body. This can result in signal loss or interference, which can significantly affect the accuracy of the measurements. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Inadequate data recording:</strong> While smartphones can record GPS coordinates, they lack the advanced data recording and management features required for professional land surveying. Surveyors use specialized software and equipment to record and manage complex data sets, and to perform calculations and analysis. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Legal requirements:</strong> In many jurisdictions, land surveys are subject to legal requirements and standards that must be met for the survey to be recognized and accepted. Using a smartphone to survey land may not meet these requirements, which could lead to legal and financial consequences.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-size:18pt;">How accurate are land survey measurements?</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}11019838452,RESIZE_1200x{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-right" src="{{#staticFileLink}}11019838452,RESIZE_710x{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="how accurate is a land survey?" width="40%" /></a>Land survey measurements can be highly accurate, depending on the techniques and tools used in the surveying process. The accuracy of land survey measurements is usually measured in terms of the precision and accuracy of the measurements taken.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><em>Precision</em> refers to the consistency of the measurements, while accuracy refers to how closely the measurements match the true values. A high level of precision means that the measurements are very similar to each other, even if they may not be exactly accurate. On the other hand, high accuracy means that the measurements are very close to the true values.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Different types of land surveys may require different levels of accuracy. For example, a boundary survey may require higher accuracy than a topographic survey. The accuracy of land survey measurements can also be affected by various factors, such as weather conditions, the terrain, and the quality of the surveying equipment.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">To ensure the highest level of accuracy, professional land surveyors follow established standards and procedures, and use advanced equipment such as GPS and laser technology. They also undergo extensive training and education to develop the necessary skills and knowledge to conduct accurate land surveys.</span></p>
<h2>What is the difference between Accuracy and Precision in land surveying?</h2>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Accuracy and precision are two important concepts in land surveying that refer to different aspects of measurement. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong><a href="#"><img class="align-right" src="{{#staticFileLink}}11019838299,RESIZE_180x180{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="how accurate is a land survey?" /></a>Accuracy</strong> refers to how closely a measured value corresponds to the true or actual value of a particular feature or point on the earth's surface. In other words, it is the degree of conformity between the measured value and the actual value. Accuracy is important in land surveying because it ensures that the data collected is reliable and useful for decision-making processes. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Precision</strong>, on the other hand, refers to the level of consistency and reproducibility of the measurements. It is the degree to which repeated measurements of the same feature or point on the earth's surface produce the same result. Precision is important in land surveying because it ensures that the data collected is consistent and can be relied upon for comparison and analysis. To put it simply, accuracy is about how close a measurement is to the true value, while precision is about how close multiple measurements are to each other. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">In land surveying, both accuracy and precision are critical for producing reliable data. High accuracy ensures that the measurements are as close to the true value as possible, while high precision ensures that the measurements are consistent and reproducible.</span></p>

</li>
<li>
<p><span style="font-size:18pt;">Place the first rod: A surveyor places the first rod at the point where the measurement is being taken. The rod is set vertically and the surveyor reads the measurement off the rod using the leveling instrument.</span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span style="font-size:18pt;">Place the second rod: The surveyor places the second rod at a distance away from the first rod. The distance is typically set based on the distance that can be accurately measured with the leveling instrument.</span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span style="font-size:18pt;">Take the second reading: The surveyor then reads the second rod using the leveling instrument. This measurement provides a check on the accuracy of the first measurement.</span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span style="font-size:18pt;">Repeat the process: The surveyor may repeat this process several times to ensure the accuracy of the measurements. This is especially important when working on long distances or in challenging terrain.</span></p>

<div class="markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light">
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">In land surveying, the <strong>zenith</strong> is the point directly above the observer's location. It is the highest point in the sky and can be used as a reference for measuring angles and distances. The zenith is typically identified by a plumb line or a spirit level.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><a href="#"><img class="align-right" src="{{#staticFileLink}}10997104277,RESIZE_400x{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="what is a Zenith?" width="229" /></a>Land surveyors use the zenith in various ways. For example, when measuring the vertical angles between points, they may use the zenith as a reference point to determine the elevation of those points. This is particularly useful when determining the height of tall structures or trees.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">In addition, the zenith can also be used to determine the latitude of the observer's location. By measuring the angle between the zenith and the celestial equator (the imaginary line that follows the Earth's equator into space), surveyors can calculate their latitude.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Overall, the zenith is an important reference point for land surveyors, helping them to accurately measure angles, distances, and elevations in their work.</span></p>

<h3><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Did the Ancient Egyptian Surveyors Measure Zenith?</strong></span></h3>
<div class="flex flex-grow flex-col gap-3">
<div class="min-h-[20px] flex flex-col items-start gap-4 whitespace-pre-wrap">
<div class="markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light">
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">The ancient Egyptians did not have the same tools and technology that we have today to directly measure the zenith. However, they did have a method for determining the approximate zenith point based on observations of the stars.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">The Egyptians were skilled astronomers and observed the night sky carefully. They noticed that certain stars appeared to move in a circular pattern around a central point in the sky, which we now know is the North Celestial Pole. By measuring the angle between this point and the horizon, they could estimate the latitude of their location.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">To find the zenith, the Egyptians used a plumb line or a weighted string to create a vertical reference line. They then observed the stars and noted the point at which they were directly overhead. This point would correspond to the zenith, which they could then use as a reference for their astronomical observations.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">The ancient Egyptians also used the zenith as a reference point for measuring the height of structures such as pyramids and obelisks. They would measure the angle between the top of the structure and the zenith, and use this information to calculate the height.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Overall, while the ancient Egyptians did not have the same tools as modern land surveyors, they were still able to make accurate measurements using careful observations of the stars and other celestial objects.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>July 1</strong><strong>st</strong><strong>, 2022: ‘Land Mentor’ Land Development now free </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Neighborhood Innovations, LLC. </span><span style="font-weight:400;">is gifting the land development and building industry to solve many of the growth problems worldwide. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="font-weight:400;">LandMentor is a ‘System’ that blends technology with an education in advanced </span><em><span style="font-weight:400;">market proven </span></em><span style="font-weight:400;">land development planning and housing design methods. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">The education and technology of using LandMentor should decrease the infrastructure needed to develop land between 5-40% compared to current and past development patterns. For urban redevelopment, the reduction can be greater than 50%. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">This has obvious economic and environmental benefits to developers, residents, cities and is desperately needed with today’s escalating construction costs and increased interest rates. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>What is LandMentor? </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="font-weight:400;">In the mid-1970’s Rick Harrison began developing </span><span style="font-weight:400;">software for land surveying and civil engineering to </span><span style="font-weight:400;">expedite tasks going from fieldwork to subdivision </span><span style="font-weight:400;">plats. His experience by 1975 was in land planning, </span><span style="font-weight:400;">surveying, civil engineering and land development. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="font-weight:400;">By 1982 he collaborated with Hewlett Packard and </span><span style="font-weight:400;">founded </span><span style="font-weight:400;">Land Innovation</span><span style="font-weight:400;">, which became a leading civil/survey software developer for two decades. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="font-weight:400;">In 1989 Rick Harrison Site Design (RHSD) was formed to discover </span><em><span style="font-weight:400;">new methods </span></em><span style="font-weight:400;">of design based on new forms of software. This led to innovation in land uses, land surveying, site engineering, development design and architecture. </span><span style="font-weight:400;">Two decades ago, with Keith Willenson in charge of software, they began developing a new core technology to reinvent the growth industry. </span><span style="font-weight:400;">Realizing software cannot change anything without an education to ‘think differently’ this new product could not have a separate educational component, nor could it be modular with separate components and options. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="font-weight:400;">That is the essence of LandMentor. Essentially ‘Land Development 101’ in a single </span><em><span style="font-weight:400;">easy to use and quick to learn </span></em><span style="font-weight:400;">complete system. </span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;"><iframe title="LandMentor Introduction" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/D1aJJW8dqGY" width="837" height="427" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>How LandMentor will improve the world’s growth </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Current CAD & GIS software automates geometric relationships that have been in place for centuries. Utilizing </span><span style="font-weight:400;">robotic automation </span><span style="font-weight:400;">to ‘land plan’ typically results mundane </span><span style="font-weight:400;">repetitive neighborhoods </span><span style="font-weight:400;">with excessive infrastructure. Lately, that infrastructure has risen in price by as much as 40% or more. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Replication by CAD </span><span style="font-weight:400;">should be obvious when most residential and commercial new construction appears to have been designed by the same person. It’s because the software industry has ‘dumbed down’ design with a button press for ‘typical configurations’ or replicable components. It’s all about speed, not quality. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">LandMentor was developed to bring ‘quality of growth’ and foster better design. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">Before technology, to calculate the geometry on a 100-lot subdivision could take several weeks. Today, software firms often demonstrate a hundred lots can be designed and calculated in less than a minute or two. The result will be a cookie cutter subdivision, not likely a great place to live nor raise a family. How could it be, with a minute of thought behind it? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Technology should be all about moving design forward, </span><span style="font-weight:400;">not backward</span><span style="font-weight:400;">! </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="font-weight:400;">To address this, LandMentor introduces an industry first - a software </span><span style="font-weight:400;">packaged </span><span style="font-weight:400;"> </span><span style="font-weight:400;">with an education</span><span style="font-weight:400;">. For example, does Microsoft Word instantly make you a great author? Obviously, no. But what if it was packaged with a complete education in story telling? </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">LandMentor provides the tools and education to create exciting, more functional development with less economic and environmental impacts. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">LandMentor’s ‘holistic’ education merges land surveying, site engineering, advanced land planning, architecture, 2D presentations and interactive 3D/VR that can be learned in a dedicated week or two. This eliminates the long learning curves (and costs) required of CAD and GIS. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">LandMentor includes: </span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="font-weight:400;">It’s training teaches how to </span><span style="font-weight:400;">instantly recognize waste </span><span style="font-weight:400;">in a design – planning or architectural floor plans. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="font-weight:400;">The spatial </span><em><span style="font-weight:400;">intelligence </span></em><span style="font-weight:400;">can instantly report surface areas to quantify the waste, so it can communicate economic and environmental impacts. </span><span style="font-weight:400;">• </span><span style="font-weight:400;">Within the system, and on-line free videos, users can learn techniques to reduce or eliminate the waste. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">Cities can now be more in control of their growth by providing feedback of submittals at initial design stages to demonstrate any waste in the proposed development or redevelopment. The developer can then demand from their consultants a better and more efficient design or continue with the approval process. Assuming the feedback will reduce the construction costs and increase profits, the developer is likely to resubmit an improved neighborhood. LandMentor provides a win-win solution. </span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Reducing (or eliminating) the dependence on CAD: </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="font-weight:400;">LandMentor has no commands, and its </span><em><span style="font-weight:400;">patented </span></em><span style="font-weight:400;">graphic & video prompts make all tasks easier and more enjoyable. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="font-weight:400;">LandMentor does not ‘data base’ which means it allows computers to do what they do best – </span><em><span style="font-weight:400;">compute</span></em><span style="font-weight:400;">. In LandMentor the drawing does not exist – only precision math. It is essentially the exact opposite of CAD. Every screen refresh LandMentor builds the drawing from scratch eliminating geometric mistakes using a CAD or GIS base engine. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">There is no better solution for land surveying and precision mapping. Its core strength makes it the ideal engineering and advanced planning design platform. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>The first ‘Surface Based’ solution: </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">We live in a world of surfaces – not lines and curves, and those surfaces have environmental and economic impacts. LandMentor is the first ‘surface based’ solution that eliminates the need for hundreds (or thousands) of CAD layers. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">LandMentor instantly reports surface impacts with easy-to-understand charts so designers can take action to reduce waste and cities can communicate the waste to the developer. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">The developer can demand less wasteful design (taught in the LandMentor system) which can increase profits while creating more attainable housing. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Changing the way the industry communicates: </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="font-weight:400;">LandMentor ‘video </span><span style="font-weight:400;">gaming’ based </span><span style="font-weight:400;">interactive 3D is </span><span style="font-weight:400;">easily created from </span><span style="font-weight:400;">normal planning, </span><span style="font-weight:400;">surveying, and </span><span style="font-weight:400;">engineering tasks. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Since most users </span><span style="font-weight:400;">today will be familiar </span><span style="font-weight:400;">with video gaming </span><span style="font-weight:400;">there is no learning </span><span style="font-weight:400;">curve. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="font-weight:400;">LandMentor includes ‘plug & play’ VR headset support so users can transport themselves into a meta environment. In </span><span style="font-weight:400;">2015, LandMentor </span><span style="font-weight:400;">was the first technology that used VR headsets in public meetings for planning and council approval. This was in Springfield, Kansas for GDR Development on a tract of land that Lady Gaga’s music video ‘You and I’ was filmed on. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">But the most important beneficiaries will be the future generations that will have increased living standards with less economic and environmental impacts. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>LandMentor’s holistic approach includes: </strong></span></p>

<li><span style="font-size:14pt;"><em><span style="font-weight:400;">Read and Write DWG files, DXF, and SiteComp .ASC files... ...and much more!</span></em></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">For universities, reduced learning curve enables professors to concentrate more on better design and solutions. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">This will provide a new generation of empowered students that can add significant value to those seeking new talent. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Creating a More Collaborative Industry: </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="font-weight:400;">The </span><span style="font-weight:400;">sad state of the consulting industry </span><span style="font-weight:400;">is the lack of communication and collaboration between the four pillars of consulting services: </span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">Land Surveying </span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">Civil Engineering </span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">Land Planning </span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">Architecture </span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">This is because there is no common knowledge base, no common understanding of how one’s action can destroy another’s intention. This creates common conflicts between planning, engineering, and architecture. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">Currently no University teaches a common knowledge base. This is why we included it in the education and training of LandMentor. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>No Charge - to encourage change worldwide </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">The development of LandMentor was entirely funded by the profits of Rick Harrison Site Design Studio. The software development and patents are paid for, and not encumbered by investors to demand immediate profits. Neighborhoods Innovations, LLC. (spin-off from RHSD) gifts LandMentor to the world so that the industry can finally solve many problems facing growth, from both regulatory and design perspectives. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Over 1,500 developments were designed </span><span style="font-weight:400;">with LandMentor (approx. $100 billion in construction), it’s time to distribute the technology and education out into the marketplace to as many end users as possible. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">LandMentor does have several patents to prevent other software firms from replicating its advantages. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>LandMentor Registration: </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">Existing LandMentor users prior to this gift paid between $4,995.00 a seat and $50,000 a seat. These are permanent licenses and will never have any extra fees. The new users of LandMentor, will need to register the software. After that it will occasionally query the server to make sure it’s a valid license within the fee use period. It will also report how much it’s being used. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">When there is no internet connection: </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">Other subscription-based software checks the validity of the license every time it is opened, which can be irritating or a disaster if the license can’t be verified during a critical meeting. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">LandMentor is intended to be the primary communication tool at critical public and private meetings when the user never wants to see a warning that the software cannot operate because of a bad internet connection. If LandMentor cannot check the license because the internet is not available or intermittent (like on an airplane), it will still work without a problem and check later when internet is available. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Rewarding Higher Usage: </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">While LandMentor will never report what it’s being used on or for, it does report back to Neighborhood Innovations, LLC. how often it is used. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">Those that have higher activity levels will have higher levels of educational materials sent to them and be offered discounts on trainings. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>What’s Included - and what’s not? </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="font-weight:400;">After July 1</span><span style="font-weight:400;">st </span><span style="font-weight:400;">2022, all that’s needed is to download the ‘system’ from </span><span style="font-weight:400;"><a href="http://www.landmentor.com">www.landmentor.com</a> </span><span style="font-weight:400;">and dedicate the time (about a week or two) to go through the included initial training (on video and PowerPoint with example files) as well as through the integrated textbooks under the Help menu. </span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">The LandMentor software technology is free until the end of 2023. </span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><em><span style="font-weight:400;">If the LandMentor system goes viral with over 100,000 users, another free year of use will be added. </span></em></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">When LandMentor does revert to a subscription model, the more end users, the less cost it will be. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="font-weight:400;">During this free time period, all updates and upgrades and video trainings via the website and YouTube will be available at no extra charge. </span><span style="font-weight:400;">• </span><span style="font-weight:400;">The education included that provides a wealth of information for the career success for those that use LandMentor.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Included: </strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="font-weight:400;">The first day self-training (PowerPoint, Videos, and example files). This class (previously $1,995.00) introduces the general use of LandMentor from reducing land surveying data (including topography), to learning new methods of design and architecture, to designing a land development using some of these new ways to think, embellishing the site plan, deriving critical site data, and creating an interactive 3D of the proposal. Highly experienced, computer savvy users can go through this initial training in 4 hours – those with no prior knowledge or experience, 8 hours. </span><span style="font-weight:400;">• </span><span style="font-weight:400;">Example developments created in LandMentor. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">2D Landscape, sports fields, aircraft, etc. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">3D Models in LandMentor format. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">Integrated (within the software) textbook, essentially Land Development 101. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">Images for textured backgrounds. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Example Site Designs from LandMentor in SketchUp/Enscape format. </span><strong>Extra Cost Options: </strong></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">Printed Material: </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">The textbooks (over 1,000 full color pages) including the book Prefurbia and quick reference guides with the software, 3D models, videos and training in PowerPoint on a USB is extra cost. Currently it is $300.00, however, should </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">the numbers of users and demand increase, the cost will go down. Prefurbia is available separately on Amazon. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Support: </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">The technology and educational materials were intended for beginners as well as those with extensive software backgrounds. No prior CAD or GIS experience is needed. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">Support is available. Price will be listed on the LandMentor website.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Training: </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">Full day trainings will be available in Minneapolis. Trainings are in a class setting specific to the needs of the type of end user at $1,995.00 a day. Since the first day of initial training – available in video format - is included, the extra trainings are intended to increase ability and productivity. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">The four different classes will be specific to these end users: </span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">Land Developers and Home Builders </span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">City Staff, Planning and Council members </span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">Civil Engineers and Land Surveyors </span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">Land Planners (Landscape Architects) and Architects </span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">The classes will be coordinated and scheduled with demand with a minimum of 4 attendees and a maximum of 15. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>The Future Subscription: </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">Eventually the System will revert back to a subscription model with the option to purchase a permanent license. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">Our intention is for the system to go viral internationally – the more users, the less annual cost. This model is similar to when SketchUp was offered at no charge gaining 35 million users in 2016, and now SketchUp Pro is just $300 annually. While LandMentor is far more comprehensive than SketchUp, we hope to be able to emulate the pricing. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>LandMentor as a conduit for other technologies </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">LandMentor was designed to be a translation tool between other hardware and software technologies specific to real estate development including precision mapping and military applications. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Field Instruments: </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">LandMentor can read and reduce raw .Rw5 files, including line connection codes. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">Most surveyors reduce the raw data, the typical import format is: Pt#, North, East, Elevation, and description.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">LandMentor is an ‘object based’ system using positional coordinate geometry, eliminating the need for point number management. This comes in handy when transferring new coordinate data to the data collector for stakeout. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">It is NOT a high-level construction stakeout system. We recommended a software such as Carlson for that purpose. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>AutoDesk and most other CAD: </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">LandMentor can read all versions of DWG files and can export all versions. When reading in a DWG file, it appends the LandMentor layering system with the imported CAD layers. DWG does not fuse common corners as LandMentor does, so for each point read in, it tests to see if that location has been used and will fuse linework to easily create surface intelligence. When exporting to CAD, much of the internal intelligence and power will be lost because of the limitations of CAD. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>ESRI: </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">LandMentor can read ESRI shape files. These files do not contain curved property lines. However, LandMentor will perform an analysis and attempt to rebuild the information with curved lines if the shape file is accurate enough. LandMentor is not (yet) a fully functioned GIS system. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;"><strong>LiDAR:</strong> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="font-weight:400;">This more recent technology produces an excessive amount of data that can overload most computational tasks. When the LiDAR data is clean (non-spastic lines), LandMentor contains filtering functions that can replicate the land surface with 1/100</span><span style="font-weight:400;">th </span><span style="font-weight:400;">or even less of the original LiDAR data.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>SketchUp: </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">SketchUp is a very polished technology, easy to use (we include SketchUp training in the LandMentor system), and everywhere for a good reason. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">LandMentor uses Collada (.dae) format specific to SketchUp to communicate to and from SketchUp. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">While SketchUp is excellent, when dealing with hundreds of homes – it can be tedious. To solve that problem, LandMentor can create a 3D ‘group’ from a SketchUp model, so that hundreds of homes can be quickly set all coming out at the correct elevation. While other sources from 3D such as from AutoDesk and other systems have seemed to work fine, their digital </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">overhead can present a significant 3D performance problem. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Enscape </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">For a more photo-realistic and powerful interactive 3D that is also plug & play VR (see screenshot above) at low extra cost, we highly recommend using Enscape, by exporting the LandMentor 3D job to SketchUp. We have created files as large as 2 gigabytes that have home interiors detailed with landscaping that sways in the wind without any signs of slowing down in screen and VR performance. For that reason, as much as we would love to eliminate the need for any external software, we recommend Enscape.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Financial Modeling Software </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">LandMentor education included spans into the cost of construction as well as financial modeling and forecasting from the precision spatial information imbedded in the core data structures. This section of the software and training was done with the help of Skip Preble of Land Analytics, one of the top industry experts. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">It is not intended to replace high level financial software, but instead use the precision data to gain information without the possibility of transposition error. The information LandMentor can export can be read into a spreadsheet for other software to expand upon. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>SiteComp </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">SiteComp was founded and initially developed by the founders of LandMentor. LandMentor can read in SiteComp ASCII format files. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">Downward File Compatibility: </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">Because the updates and upgrades of LandMentor are at no charge, downward compatibility (example not able to read in the latest CAD file using an older version) should not be an issue. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Hardware Requirements: </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">We purposely developed LandMentor on older hardware! Why? To make sure it can run on somewhat older technology as well as the latest computers. This is not to say it will run on your grand-pappy’s Commodore computer, but it’s pretty diverse on what it will run on. It might run OK on an Apple with a Microsoft PC Emulator (maybe), otherwise – pretty much PC computers. It was also developed for ‘out-of-the-box’ PC’s and we understand many are on a restricted company network. For those systems, you will need the network administrator to install and set it up. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">Here's the recommended minimum hardware requirements: </span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="font-weight:400;">A PC running Windows 10 or 11 (most likely works Ok in windows 8) </span><span style="font-weight:400;">• </span><span style="font-weight:400;">Display graphics of 1080p (1920 X 1080) </span></span></li>

<li><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">A 3-Bullton Mouse and an X-Box360 Gaming Controller Why there are no minimum memory or hard disk requirements: </span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">LandMentor depends more on the processor power and does not data base, thus no need to rely on disk space. Most files are relatively small compared to CAD, GIS, and 3D software like SketchUp. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">The software itself is very compact taking up a small fraction of the space of a typical CAD system. </span></li>

</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">You will need a very powerful laptop or computer to run VR. We recommend getting an expert gaming consultant (or a 12 year old gamer) to set up your system if you are not yet familiar with Steam, and VR software support. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">A properly setup VR system that has been working fine may have trouble operating because of drivers that have not been updated. Not keeping up with updates should not hinder LandMentor operation, but could affect VR operation and performance. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Be aware: </strong></span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">LandMentor has had international users from South America to Siberia and has been modified to handle a wide variety of users – however, it is possible in some environments outside the USA we would need to adjust future code.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>User Testimonials: </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>From Michael Shamsie of the LandMark Group (a Civil Engineer user). </strong><span style="font-weight:400;">From a Planning Commission member: </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><em><span style="font-weight:400;">“Your submittal and presentation set a new standard for future applicants” </span></em><span style="font-weight:400;">From a Planning Commission member in Missouri: </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><em><span style="font-weight:400;">“The 3D model helps us with the transformation from paper to the reality of what the development will look like” </span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>From Chris Canaday – Developer and Builder in California: </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><em><span style="font-weight:400;">Here’s a few bullet points about the advantages of the planning methods that are taught in the included educational materials of LandMentor: </span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><em><span style="font-weight:400;">We developed Placitas de La Paz which contained 270 homes. The community is located in a small city that was virtually 100% low-income Hispanic population. The home sizes were small, and the density was much higher than normal at the time. The design was new and different - it created more interest and privacy than a standard land plan. They were virtually sold well before construction was completed in each phase. </span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><em><span style="font-weight:400;">We did not jack up the sales prices and still made an excellent profit. Today, the resale of home prices are substantially higher in spite of the huge real estate problems we experience in California. </span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><em><span style="font-weight:400;">Granted timing was excellent but I do believe the land plan was an important factor in our success. </span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">From Ed Taravella – Head of the Houston Builders Association, and Developer: </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><em><span style="font-weight:400;">Would you like to see the as-built environment of a new development before it is built? Want to fly/drive/walk through the development you are proposing in virtual reality? The incredible thing about this feature is that it is just a by-product, if you will, of the LandMentor system. I was pretty amazed when I saw my tract of land transform into my own unique immersive community. Usually, we only see our plans in 2D. With LandMentor, you not only walk through your proposed </span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><em><span style="font-weight:400;">community, but you can also walk through the actual homes (or buildings) you propose build. </span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><em><span style="font-weight:400;">One of the unique things about LandMentor is the ability to determine environmental density and show in a pie chart how the site is covered i.e., streets, driveways/flatwork and building pad. I have never seen a land plan break out the coverage quite like this. But in today’s market, impervious cover and the resulting drainage issues are now at the forefront of local government regulation. </span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><em><span style="font-weight:400;">I have never heard of anything like LandMentor before being introduced to Rick and LandMentor many years ago and there is still nothing like it out there. LandMentor can integrate the different elements of the land development and construction process. Engineering, surveying, land planning, development, home construction and virtual reality in one integrated system. A system as tightly integrated as this is accurate and precise. (Nothing is lost in translation as there is nothing to translate) not sure about this last line. </span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">Nick Rhodes –Developer & Builder – Rio Grande Valley, Texas: </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><em><span style="font-weight:400;">“The current development landscape is rapidly changing as new buyers continue to enter the housing market. Cities and developers are having to think outside the box to fill the demand to produce the housing inventory to meet the needs of the modern buyer. Rick Harrison Site Design and software Land Mentor are critical in displaying and educating all parties involved in the development process. The 3D capabilities of the software streamline the development process so cities and developers can be on the same page when presenting new concepts and everyone can virtually walk the streets and understand the livability of what is getting built. Land Mentor has been an extraordinary asset for our company in developing several projects that offer higher quality of life than competing developments, but we would not have been able to get them approved without being able to have city staff and commission visualize the project. Rick Harrison and his software, Land Mentor, is a great tool for all stakeholders involved on the development process from engineers, cities, developers and the end consumer, who ultimately is why we all do what we do. “</span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="font-weight:400;">Greg Somers: Land Developer </span><em><span style="font-weight:400;">– </span></em><span style="font-weight:400;">Mentor, Ohio </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><em><span style="font-weight:400;">The technology and assets that LandMentor provided has completely transformed, innovated, and most importantly streamlined the process of pursuing and obtaining new community development approvals. Gone are the days where we would present a black and white plat map. The technology brings a community to life prior to ever existing. The virtual reality, color renderings, and color site plans has an immediate positive impact when presenting a new community plan. One of the most important functions the technology provides is the ability to address neighbor concerns and show that the new community is going to be an asset vs. a liability. </span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><em><span style="font-weight:400;">We have had many circumstances where we may not have been able to obtain approvals and community acceptance if it wasn't for the technology and assets that LandMentor provides when being used in the design and presenting of a new community development plan. </span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>From Steve Wilhelmy, Real Estate Broker in Minnesota and Texas </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><em><span style="font-weight:400;">As a commercial broker that specializes in listing land for residential development, I am a big fan of the Land Mentor system. The ease of use and ability to generate quality 2D and 3D concept plans to include in the marketing packages really helps potential buyers visualize the property's potential. </span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>From Jeff Buell co-owner Sitterle Homes, Texas </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><em><span style="font-weight:400;">It recently occurred to us that we have been working for over two decades with you and your team at LandMentor. After getting over the fact that we are now two decades older, we began to reflect on the projects we very successfully have completed with your help. </span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><em><span style="font-weight:400;">Our first experience with your “Coving” street design was in our Roseheart community. Beautiful site made more beautiful by the relaxed curves and staggered home setbacks of the street design. Having less asphalt and more “green” throughout the neighborhood allowed us to create a monument to development that has truly endured the test of time. Even though we completed that project years ago, people still clamor to “get in” and find a residence there.</span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><em><span style="font-weight:400;">On we traveled to several other projects, some more complex than others. Each benefitting from the thoughtfulness and effectiveness of the design. Limiting asphalt, alternative pedestrian plans, and greenbelts meandering behind the homes all providing for wonderful community feel. </span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><em><span style="font-weight:400;">Along the way, we reflect on some of the intangible items you provided that assisted with our successes. Speed, clarity, knowledge, vision all come to mind. Speed of creating the vision we want to achieve. Clarity of the vision backed by knowledge of what this vision will entail from a cost standpoint. All these traveling hand in hand in the creation a community. A community for people to live in and to bring them peace from the outer world. </span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><em><span style="font-weight:400;">Amongst all the variables this business will throw at you, LandMentor has provided a consistent platform in which to operate regarding land planning. Just thought we would drop you a note, as we appreciate the time together and the achievements we have reached, with the help of you and your firm. </span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>From Walter Magill, PE & PLS Four Points Surveying & Engineering Steamboat Springs, Colorado </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><em><span style="font-weight:400;">Four Points Surveying and Engineering has utilized and benefitted from LandMentor software on three recent development projects in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. The LandMentor software was an excellent asset to our project presentation for public meetings on a multi-building apartment development project. The software allowed the planning commission and City Council to understand the proposed development and provided visualization of grading, landscaping, walls, and other improvements. The ability to render the project in 3- D for a public presentation was instrumental in gaining approval for the project. We also worked with the LandMentor project on a 100+ acre property to quickly develop a multitude of proposed layouts at a fraction of the cost of other products and we can create grading volume scenarios. Quickly developing sites with LandMentor Software makes it a unique product. </span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><em><span style="font-weight:400;">Sincerely; </span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><em><span style="font-weight:400;">Walter</span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>The methods and technology have won many awards: </strong><span style="font-weight:400;">LandMentor was also chosen accepted into the CleanTech Open in 2012. </span></span></p>

It involves measuring the boundaries, elevations, and other features of a piece of land. This is done by using a variety of instruments, such as GPS receivers, total stations, and levels. The primary purpose of land surveying is to assist in the design, construction, and maintenance of a variety of infrastructure projects, such as roads, bridges, buildings, and utilities. Land surveying is a critical part of the planning process for any construction project. It allows engineers to accurately determine the location of structures, roads, and other features on a site before construction begins. </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">Land surveying also helps planners to identify potential problems that could arise during construction and to resolve them before they become an issue. Land surveyors are also responsible for ensuring that the dimensions of a project are accurate. This includes verifying elevation levels, distances, and angles. By doing this, the surveyor can ensure that the project is built according to specifications and that it meets all relevant regulations and codes. Land surveyors also help with the development of land. They are involved in the process of zoning and subdivision, which involves dividing a tract of land into parcels that can be sold or developed. They also provide advice on environmental issues, such as soil erosion and flood control, and can help with the development of recreational areas. In addition to providing physical measurements of a site, land surveyors also use their expertise to help with legal issues. They are often consulted in cases of property disputes, boundary disputes, and other legal matters. Land surveying is a complex field that requires a great deal of knowledge and skill. It is an important part of the construction process and plays a critical role in the development of land. By understanding the basics of land surveying, you will be better equipped to understand the process of constructing and developing a site.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">From construction layout of high-rise steel structures to 3-D laser scanning, <strong>Land surveyors</strong> perform comprehensive surveying services for commercial and residential developments, buildings, highways, bridges, utilities, waterways, and property acquisitions. Experienced land surveyors utilize state-of-the-art equipment and practical innovation to reduce survey costs and expedite the completion of projects while maintaining a superior product for our clients.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;"><strong>Land surveying</strong> involves measuring and determining property boundaries. Property boundaries are the basis for all property transactions, including buying, selling, mortgaging, and leasing. A secure and strong property market requires certainty in the location of property boundaries. The location of property boundaries and knowledge of matters that may affect land ownership requires specialized training. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="font-weight:400;">GIS is the framework that provides the ability to capture, store, manage, and analyze spatial and geographical data. Polosoft Technologies, a leading </span><strong>GIS services</strong><span style="font-weight:400;"> provider in the USA and UK offer tailored </span><span style="font-weight:400;">GIS services</span><span style="font-weight:400;"> to our clients globally, for getting spatial information mapped and interpreted. Polosoft Technologies developed solutions that store, analyze, and display geographical information for better navigation. </span></span></p>
<h1><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;"><strong>Benefits of Land Surveying</strong>: <a href="{{#staticFileLink}}9542766870,RESIZE_1200x{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-right" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9542766870,RESIZE_710x{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="9542766870?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="710" /></a></span></h1>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Cost savings resulting from greater efficiency </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">It is associated either with carrying out the work process (i.e., labor savings from automating or improving a workflow) or improvements in the mission itself. A proper condition for both of the scenarios is not so common, which utilized GIS in logistics operations and has seen dramatic improvements. It considerably reduced the time taken for the dispatchers to create routes for their home delivery trucks by about 75%. It led to hugely benefiting and enormously reducing the costs of carrying out the mission (i.e., 12%-15% less drive time by optimizing routes) and in turn improving customer service, reducing the number of return visits to the same site, and scheduling all the appointments more efficiently.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Better decision making<span style="font-weight:400;"> </span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="font-weight:400;">This typically has to do with making better decisions about location. Common examples include real estate site selection, route/corridor selection, zoning, planning, conservation, natural resource extraction, etc. People are beginning to realize that making the correct decision about a location is strategic to the success of an organization.</span><span style="font-weight:400;"><br /> <br /> </span><strong>Improved communication</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="font-weight:400;">GIS-based maps and visualizations greatly assist in understanding situations and storytelling. They are a new language that improves communication between different teams, departments, disciplines, professional fields, organizations, and the public.</span><span style="font-weight:400;"><br /> <br /> </span><strong>Better geographic information recordkeeping</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">Many organizations have a primary responsibility of maintaining authoritative records about the status and change of geography (geographic accounting). Cultural geography examples are zoning, population census, land ownership, and administrative boundaries. Physical geography examples include forest inventories, biological inventories, environmental measurements, water flows, and a whole host of geographic accountings. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Managing geographically</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">In government and many large corporations, GIS is becoming essential to understand what is going on. Senior administrators and executives at the highest levels of government use GIS information products to communicate. These products provide a visual framework for conceptualizing, understanding and prescribing action. Examples include briefings about various geographic patterns and relationships including land use, crime, the environment, and defense/security situations. GIS is increasingly being implemented as an enterprise information system. This goes far beyond simply spatially enabling business tables in a DBMS.</span></p>

<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">Land surveying is one of the most important and widely used tools in the construction and engineering industries. It is used to measure and accurately map out land boundaries and to determine the size and shape of land parcels. Land surveying is also used to measure the boundaries of large tracts of land and to locate potential development sites. Land surveying is used to help in land development and construction projects. It can be used to map out existing and proposed roads and other infrastructure such as pipelines and power lines. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14pt;">Land surveying can also help to determine the best location for a building or other structure, as well as the most suitable land use for a given area. Land surveying is also used to ensure that all construction projects are built in accordance to the local zoning regulations and building codes. By using land surveying, the construction team can ensure that all construction projects are built in accordance to the local laws and regulations. This helps to protect the safety of the public and the environment by ensuring that all projects meet the necessary standards. Land surveying is also used to provide accurate data for legal and financial purposes. Land surveyors can provide accurate measurements of land parcels and boundaries. This data can be used to help to determine the value of a piece of land or to help to settle land disputes. Finally, land surveying is used to monitor and measure the environment. By using land surveying, environmental scientists can accurately measure changes in land use and water levels. This data is then used to help to protect the environment from the effects of development and industrial activities.</span></p></div>Where to Find Available Land Surveyor Jobshttps://landsurveyorsunited.com/articles/where-to-find-available-land-surveyor-jobs2021-06-30T18:24:45.000Z2021-06-30T18:24:45.000ZJustin Farrowhttps://landsurveyorsunited.com/surveyors/justin<div><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/9181390465?profile=RESIZE_400x&width=400"></div><div><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">We have a brand new way to both <a href="http://landsurveyorsunited.com/jobs">Find available Land Surveying Jobs</a> anywhere in the world as well as post open positions that you are aware of.

An <a href="https://www.nsps.us.com/page/2021ALTA" target="_blank">ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey</a> (formerly ALTA/<a href="http://landsurveyorsunited.com/acsm">ACSM</a>) must adhere to a set of national standards put forth by the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping (now NSPS) and adopted by the <a href="https://www.alta.org/" target="_blank">American Land Title Association</a>.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">These national standards seek to establish a common standard for commercial real estate transactions. The ALTA/NSPS standards require a more detailed report than the typical border survey and include:</span></p><ul><li><span style="font-size:14pt;">Easements benefitting or encumbering a property.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:14pt;">Possible encroachments across the boundary or easement.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:14pt;">Whether there is access to a public road.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:14pt;">Zoning setbacks.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:14pt;">Flood zones that may impact the property.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:14pt;">Evidence of any use by other parties.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:14pt;">Water boundaries within the property.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:14pt;">Evidence of cemeteries.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:14pt;">The names of the owners of the adjoining property.</span><br /> <span style="font-size:14pt;"> Quite a list, isn’t it? But wait…there’s more!</span></li></ul><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Before the surveyor even begins to measure the property some pretty in-depth research must be performed. The current title commitment is examined. The municipal and country records are searched for possible encumbrances. And the research itself provides some foreknowledge of the land and any possible conflict <em>before the direct survey begins</em>.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">In other words, the <a href="https://www.nsps.us.com/page/ALTANSPSStandards" target="_blank">ALTA/NSPS</a> Land Title Survey is the Cadillac of boundary surveys and, like a Cadillac, is more costly than a plain old Buick of a boundary survey. In fact, it often covers more than the state standards. But not always. To avoid confusion, a recent edition of the standards contained a clarification that stated if there was a conflict between the state standard and the ALTA/NSPS standard, the most stringent should be applied.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">The ALTA survey is also held to very strict standards of accuracy. The allowable error in linear feet for urban property is about 1 foot in just less than 3 miles. In other words, for every 15,000 feet the survey can only be off by as much as 1 foot.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">The standards loosen as population density and level land decreases.</span></p><h3><span style="font-size:18pt;"><strong>Why go to all this expense and trouble of ALTA Survey?</strong></span></h3><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Why go to all this expense and trouble? This is the type of survey often used when real estate is being purchased by an out of state party or a consortium of others that live outside the state where the property lies. The <a href="https://www.nsps.us.com/page/ALTANSPSStandards" target="_blank">ALTA/NSPS</a> is a national standard that puts everyone on the same page of expectations.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">The ALTA/NSPS does not license surveyors; only the state can do that. But a smart surveyor will still be familiar with the ALTA/NSPS standard in order to know which standard is in effect for each part of the survey. By meeting just one set of standards the surveyor could be open to a lawsuit if and when a conflict arises.</span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Also read: </strong></span></p><h3 class="entry-title"><a href="https://landsurveyorsunited.com/articles/new-alta-nsps-land-title-survey-standards-to-take-effect-in-febru">New ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey Standards to Take Effect in February 2021</a></h3></div>Collection of Surveying Articles to Learn Something Newhttps://landsurveyorsunited.com/articles/collection-of-surveying-articles-to-learn-something-new2021-04-09T20:52:28.000Z2021-04-09T20:52:28.000Z⚡Survenator⌁https://landsurveyorsunited.com/surveyors/Survenator<div><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/8777088480?profile=RESIZE_400x&width=400"></div><div><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Download this collection of <a title="Land Surveying Articles shared by Land Surveyors United Members" href="https://landsurveyorsunited.com/articles/" target="_blank">Surveying Articles</a> added to the community so far!

Without realizing it, we use the data collected by land surveyors on a daily basis for building, construction and maps. In today's guide we shall look at the role and purpose of <a title="Land Survey Data Collectors" href="https://landsurveyorsunited.com/page/data-collectors">land survey data collectors</a>.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><a href="https://landsurveyorsunited.com/topics/surveying-history" title="Survey History Hubs" target="_blank"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}8299919056,RESIZE_710x{{/staticFileLink}}" width="710" alt="8299919056?profile=RESIZE_710x" /></a></span></p><h3><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong><em>Purpose of Land Survey Data Collectors</em></strong></span></h3><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Land surveys have been around since almost the beginning of man, and there are examples of land surveys dating back to the ancient Egyptians in 3000 BC. (Learn more about <a href="https://landsurveyorsunited.com/hubs/History" target="_blank">Surveying History</a>)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Land survey data collectors have many purposes and it is in fact a very broad area. People require land survey data collectors for many different reasons, some for personal reasons whereas in many cases it's for government records and commercial ventures.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Before purchasing any real estate, people are advised to have a land survey data collector conduct a land survey of the property as it is a legal document that establishes land ownership and helps avoid any lawsuits that may arise in the future over the subject of land ownership.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Every single map that you have ever used and will continue to use is based around an original land survey. While the actual map you are looking at may not be a land survey, it will have originated as a land survey and developed into the maps you use.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">If a map needs to be redrawn or created from scratch then land survey data collectors are required to perform a land survey from which the map can be created.</span></p><p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong><em>So what exactly do land survey data collectors do to create land surveys?</em></strong></span></p><h3><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong><em>Role of the Land Survey Data Collectors</em></strong></span></h3><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">The most important part of creating land surveys is the data collection. Without accurate data there is no land survey. Land survey data collectors have the important role of setting up special land surveying equipment and taking precise measurements and collecting that data for use in a land survey.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">There are several different types of land surveys so the land survey data collectors need to be able to know what type of data and measurements need to be taken to create the land survey that is required.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">The two main types of land surveys are boundary surveys and topographic maps - however there are dozens of other categories that land survey data collectors need to understand. Boundary surveys require the land survey data collectors to establish the boundaries between land owners, essentially who owns what in the eyes of the law.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Topographic land surveys are generally much more detailed and require the land survey data collectors to measure the elevation of various points on a specific piece of land and use that data to draw contour lines on a plot.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Land survey data collectors are highly skilled professionals that must have a strong grasp of mathematics, physics, law and engineering to be successful in their role.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Below we shall look at some of the tools and techniques that land survey data collectors use to complete their work.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong><em>Tools and Methods Used By Land Survey Data Collectors</em></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Land survey data collectors need to use a wide range of methods and tools in their roles. The majority of land surveying is based around the fundamentals of mathematics, and some of the methods used for land survey data collection include <a href="https://landsurveyorsunited.com/main/search/search?q=trigonometry" target="_blank">trigonometry</a>, <a href="https://landsurveyorsunited.com/main/search/search?q=triangulation" target="_blank">triangulation</a> and geometry.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">There are a range of tools that land survey data collectors use, some a lot more advanced than others. Many of the tools that land survey data collectors use these days are electronic, such as a <a href="https://landsurveyorsunited.com/topics/total-stations" target="_blank">total station</a>, which allows the data they collect to be much more accurate.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><a href="https://www.smarketplace.org/equipment-software/gps-surveyors" target="_blank">GPS systems</a> are commonly used by modern land survey data collectors and are relatively accurate, however there is still room for improvement. The accuracy of GPS is affected by several factors including the amount of forestation surrounding the area that may affect the satellite signals. Land survey data collectors must be able to use a range of different methods to ensure the accuracy of the data they collect.</span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;">See More Learn More:</span></p><p><a href="https://landsurveyorsunited.com/video?q=Data+Collector" target="_blank" title="Data Collectors Videos">Land Survey Videos about Data Collectors</a></p><p><a href="https://landsurveyorsunited.com/photo?q=Data+Collector" target="_blank" title="Data Collectors Photos">Data Collector Photos </a>Submitted by Land Surveyors United Members</p><p><a href="https://www.smarketplace.org/equipment-software/data-collectors" target="_blank" title="Data Collectors for sale">Data Collectors for Sale in the Smarketplace</a></p></div>What are the six components of GIS?https://landsurveyorsunited.com/articles/what-are-the-six-components-of-gis2019-11-26T13:05:43.000Z2019-11-26T13:05:43.000ZLalit Tyagihttps://landsurveyorsunited.com/surveyors/LalitTyagi<div><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3742238377?profile=RESIZE_400x&width=400"></div><div><p><strong>Summary: </strong><span style="font-weight:400;">Maps are for locating and managing your city’s information. GIS mapping has been used to create highly convoluted and accurate maps from the given data. There are many useful benefits of GIS mapping apart from creating detailed maps of the cities. Let’s see how GIS mapping can be used in so many different ways. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400;">A lot of industries around the world are using GIS virtually to create maps that communicate, perform analysis, share information and solve complex problems around the world. Maps have made the professional environment easier and more efficient. GIS technology applies geographic science with tools for collaboration and understanding. It helps to gain actionable intelligence from all types of data.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:12pt;"><strong>Some of the amazing benefits of GIS mapping include:</strong></span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><strong>1. GIS Mapping Helps in Asset Management:</strong></p><p style="text-align:left;"><strong><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}3742286850,RESIZE_710x{{/staticFileLink}}"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}3742286850,RESIZE_710x{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="3742286850?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="558" height="314" /></a></strong></p><p> <span style="font-weight:400;">A GIS helps in sorting the infrastructure and utilities that lie beneath the city’s streets, curbs and sidewalks. GIS mapping is used to make detailed maps of these utility areas, like the age of the material and past maintenance reports. This makes it easier to track and manage that particular infrastructure.</span></p><p><strong>2. Leads To Improved Decision Making:</strong></p><p><strong><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}3742288255,RESIZE_930x{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-full" src="{{#staticFileLink}}3742288255,RESIZE_710x{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="3742288255?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="560" height="374" /></a></strong></p><p>GIS mapping has enhanced our ability to make informed decisions about the location of places. For example, knowing the age and type of pole can define the schedule and scope of a particular replacement project plan. Therefore, cities with older poles can be prioritized first.</p><p><strong>3. Cost-effective and Efficient:</strong></p><p><strong><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}3742289252,RESIZE_710x{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-full" src="{{#staticFileLink}}3742289252,RESIZE_710x{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="3742289252?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="563" height="292" /></a></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-weight:400;">Promoting cost-effective mechanisms and services, GIS has increased efficiency to a great extent. GIS especially helps regarding maintenance schedules, fleet movements, or timetable scheduling.</span></strong></p><p><strong>4. Display of Information and Management: </strong></p><p><strong><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}3742290564,RESIZE_710x{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-full" src="{{#staticFileLink}}3742290564,RESIZE_710x{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="3742290564?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="560" /></a></strong></p><p><span style="font-weight:400;">It has become a virtual world today, and it’s going to be bigger and better day by day. Clear visuals are enormously effective in making better decisions about a project. The GIS allows you to show all the layers of data all at once, in a clearer format. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400;">GIS is becoming an enterprise for information systems. Thanks to GIS, handling, compiling, and distribution of data has been made easier, Government and many other large corporations use GIS products to effectively share information and data.</span></p><p><strong>5. Geo-Marketing:</strong></p><p><strong><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}3742291354,RESIZE_710x{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-full" src="{{#staticFileLink}}3742291354,RESIZE_710x{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="3742291354?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="560" /></a></strong></p><p><span style="font-weight:400;">Did you ever think that GIS could help in the marketing process? Integrating the power of geography into marketing planning helps the organization to respond to customers and as well as market requirements. As a result, geo-marketing is formed. </span></p><p><strong>6. Easier Mapping and Charting:</strong></p><p><strong><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}3742291990,RESIZE_710x{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-full" src="{{#staticFileLink}}3742291990,RESIZE_710x{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="3742291990?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="560" /></a></strong></p><p><span style="font-weight:400;">GIS has the ability to produce and manage the specific data and map products according to the requirement. It’s used as an important tool for topographic, aeronautical, nautical mapping, and charting agencies. It helps in implementing an effective workflow for <a href="https://www.polosoftech.com/gis-services/gis-data-conversion/" target="_blank">GIS data conversion</a>, management, and delivery. </span></p><p><strong>Conclusion:</strong><span style="font-weight:400;"><br /> The GIS allows people to see the world from a different perspective, by mapping the position and quantity of things. It also helps to find out what is happening in a specific area through its highly detailed maps which provide the location information as well as different terrains of that particular area. Who would have thought that a collection of computer software and information can be curated to form something which can be useful in so many different areas and industries? <a href="https://www.polosoftech.com/gis-services/gis-mapping-service/">GIS mapping services</a> these days can solve complex problems and helps in the faster completion of the project. </span></p></div>GIS Mapping: The Ultimate Power of "Where"https://landsurveyorsunited.com/articles/gis-mapping-the-ultimate-power-of-where2019-10-31T07:51:13.000Z2019-10-31T07:51:13.000ZLalit Tyagihttps://landsurveyorsunited.com/surveyors/LalitTyagi<div><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3688823749?profile=RESIZE_400x&width=400"></div><div><p><span style="font-weight:400;">It’s fortunate that the world is realizing that common problems can’t be solved unless intervention is made and intervention is impossible without visualization, and thus without maps.</span><strong> Mapping </strong><span style="font-weight:400;">is a central function of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), which provides a visual interpretation of data.
