Builder of adjacent property had some sub contractors who dumped construction trash onto my property. They also removed some surveying stakes. Crews removed trash, but markers are still misiing. I need to ge the stakes replaced. Any recommendations?
A big 2nd for Southwinds (Lynwood Jones is the owner & a local CS guy). Howard in his office helped me with a survey a few months ago. Good Work, nice to work with & we are happy. 773-0262 BUT- Surveys are NOT CHEEP.
That's why I say you might want to call who did the original survey because they have already done the work and may be cheaper than someone else who had to start over.
The original surveyor would be able to do it somewhat cheaper than a different one. However since its basically resetting a few irons on a single lot line, other than an hourly rate for a field crew being different between companies, the cost is basically the same.
i was under the impression it was the wooden markers that are missing. if the contractor pulled up the permanent corner that would be a criminal violation for removing landmarks. G.S. 14-147 includes property corners.
If they did it on purpose, then you are correct. Property irons get ripped out all the time, mostly from contractors and landscapers when they come in with their dozers and other equiptment. CP&L rips out a lot of them when they put in their services. This is why irons are burried a few inches below the ground since they also get tore out when people are mowing their yards. It happens. Chances are the contractor here was grading or whatnot and their equipement cought the irons and they tried to put them back in the same spot or if they are unable to, then sometimes they just lay them down close to where they were originally. Wooden stakes are never permanent property corners/markers. The states are reference markers that are drive in the ground next to the iron itself, or they are put on a straight line along the property line, mostly for people putting fences in.
Actually the irons get buried after the sod gets laid down but that is not the issue here. The irons are more than likely still there and if you have not found them yet let me know and we will see what we can work out.
Actually, by law, the irons are put in the ground when the map gets recorded. Not after any sod is laid or services are installed. Once the map, be it a subdivision map, recombination plat, boundary map or whatnot, if the surveyor marks IPS (iron pipe set) on his map, when he records it, by law, they have to be in the ground. Sod is put down by builders or contractors after the map is recorded. Map gets recorded, developer sells the lots, builder builds.
You are correct. A surveyor who issues a map whether it is recorded or not that shows IPS (Iron Pin Set) or EIP (Existing Iron Pin) had better have set them or found them because if not they have issued a map that is not Clear and Factual, which is part of thier requirements per GS 89C (Land Surveying Act for NC).
My husband is a surveyor and sub contracts for Southwind Surveying as well. He may have even been the actual person to do your surveying. As for Howard...lol....Anyways, JP Edwards Inc will ONLY use my husband as a surveyor. If you want it done right, he's the man. If it takes longer than quoted, your price will go down, but he'll still make sure its right. AS LONG AS the original surveyor didn't do anything major to mess it up, it shouldn't take longer than expected. Replacing those stakes should be a cinch. Oh, IPS is correct as first person stated....Iron PIPE Set...and EIP is Existing Iron PIPE. ;D I'm not trying to be sarcastic..I promise. And about Mr. Edwards, you can check my story with him if you like. Or try Danny Coates of Coates Grading and Hauling...they'll tell you.....Charlie Carpenter is the man!
Sorry for misleading you about what I meant but tell me how I said the irons were set after the sod is laid?? I was meaning the irons were covered up with the sod but I guess a little more could have been read into that than what I stated. Really didnt think getting into the legal issues of this is what was being asked for. If you are really wanting to know the legality of all of surveying start by reading NCGS 89C. I am well aware of the legality of what I do for a living and was also just answering a question for help in someone who is trying to locate his corners. And wolfcub by putting Preliminary on any map will cover the surveyor from 89C.
This was your post but really, its no big deal. Well....i do have around 750-800 maps recorded in the JC ROD department that i have drawn myself.
