For too many project development managers, the land surveying portion of the construction process is just a necessary evil—something that they must take care of before the real work can begin. However, if you use the right technology, the land surveying process can be a source of real business value for the project as a whole. By getting the project off on the right foot with high-quality land surveying services, you can set the foundation for a project that gets completed on time and within bud

Introducing America's Building Records

There is a box or drawer full of old plats, blueprints and survey drawings that are collecting dust somewhere at your surveying company.  Why not scan them into a file archive and monetize them?  Imagine being able to sell access to those old surveys, retain the rights and permissions and make money twice with them.  This is exactly what America's Building Records is providing the construction industry- the ability to do just that.  Land Surveyors United recently partnered with ABR and would lik

Student Surveyor

Not only are land surveyors expected to hold degrees or certificates in Land Surveying Management, Surveying Technology, Geomatics, or other similar disciplines, most states and governing bodies have continuing education requirements as well. This means school is nearly always a concern for land surveyors.

 

Here’s where things can get complicated. Land surveying jobs often involve lots of travel, sometimes to remote locations. It’s difficult for degreed land surveyors and other surveying crew mem

Below is an email thread that happened over the last couple of days related survey pricing and a request that came in from a potential client. I wanted to share it with surveyors and other potential clients for a number of reasons.

One is so that surveyors know they’re not alone out there. We all have gotten calls and comments like this. So, don’t get upset or offended when you do. Unfortunately our profession hasn’t had or developed the professional reputation that we would desire. Folks stil

For Recruiters

1198866670?profile=originalLast week a member who is currently seeking employment asked me how they could get in touch with a recruiter to find employment.  It dawned on me that although I had developed ways for recruiters to find job seekers, I had never added a category for recruiters.  So, today I changed that.   If you are a recruiter, simply visit Your Profile Settings and change the answer to the first question "I am here because I am...." to Recruiter.   Once enough of you have made this change, I wi
