Marine Surveyors handle boat inspections which can be conducted for those that wish to purchase boats or owners that simply which to ensure that their vessel is safe and sea worthy. The Marine Surveyor conducts the boat inspections according to very specific and standard lists which detail issues that could cause problems on the boat.

 

 

 

Each type of boat was created with a specific purpose in mind and Marine Surveyors are employed to be sure that the boat can be utilized for that purpose safely. A Marine Surveyors will check the vessel to see if it may need repairs immediately or if repairs will be needed in the immediate future.

 

 

 

They will check the mechanics of the boat, such as the engine and engine parts, to make certain that each part is working properly. A Marine Surveyor will also check the outside of the boat to be sure that there are no leaks or holes on the boat which could cause it to sink.

 

 

 

Finally the Marine Surveyor will check the interior of the boat to see if there are any issues which could cause safety problems, such as leaks or water which should not be there. They will also check to see that all safety items on the boat are present, such as life jackets, to ensure that every detail has been checked on the vessel, in order to ensure the safety of all occupants.

A Building surveyor is very similar to a building inspector, as they help to enforce local building codes to ensure safety. A Building surveyor may first examine building plans to see if they comply with all rules, regulations and laws. They will likely inspect the building as work is completed and again when the building is complete.

 

 

 

Building surveyor jobs are generally found through municipalities, as they are generally in charge of enforcing building codes to ensure safety of the residents and workers in the community. However, many large constructions companies also have Building surveyor jobs in order to be sure that their workers follow all regulations and  avoid the potential for fines when building codes are ignored or accidentally misinterpreted by workers.

 

 

 

Building surveyors first approve building plans for those buildings which are planned in their community. They will likely approve or deny the plans based on key factors. For example, the height of a building within smaller municipalities can be determined by the height at which fire trucks can reach. There are in fact, many municipalities that do not allow structures over two stories, as they cannot ensure the safety of residents in those buildings.

 

 

 

The Building surveyors will also oversee construction as it happens, to see that the construction process is happening as it should and that construction workers are not skipping important steps in the building process. Finally the Building surveyor will do a thorough inspection after construction is complete to ensure that each and every building code has been met.

Surveyors can have a variety of jobs, including the measurement of land and the accurate placement of boundaries around that land. Land surveyors must also be able to draw and interpret surveys. There are surveyors who help construction projects to stay on budget, as well as those which inspect completed projects to ensure that the structure is up to code. There are also marine surveyors who inspect vessels to be sure that they are sea worthy, as well as check for any parts of the boat which may cause safety issues during use. Regardless of employment, surveyors must be detail oriented, as well as able to decipher specific measurements and complicated drawings, such as those used on construction sites.

 

 

A property surveyor makes determinations about the borders or property, based upon past surveys and other public records which help to indicate the borders of surrounding properties. Surveyors also share their surveys with one another, so that they can more easily determine the boundaries of the property and surrounding properties.

 

Surveyors have specialized tools which are meant to measure distances to a very fine point on a piece of land. The property is measured according to legal and recorded documents, such as old surveys and then the property is roped off as the surveyors complete their full measurements.

 

The roping off of properties is used for a variety of purposes. Surveyors can help property owners to determine where they may legally place improvements or permanent boundaries such as fences, as they must be placed a certain distance from a property line.

 

A surveyor also helps homeowners that wish to sell their home, so that potential buyers can clearly see which portions of property they will own and which pieces are under ownership of another. Without a land surveyors work, it can be difficult to ascertain which pieces of property go together, as many are without boundary distinctions such as fences.

 

Property surveyors can also help in making determinations during property ownership disputes. There are in fact recorded surveys and deeds which overlap boundaries and a surveyor can help settle those disputes by examining surveys from the area, recorded previous to the dispute.

Surveyor background 

 

 

Surveyors must be able to make accurate measurements of land, in order to complete an accurate and updated survey. In addition to excellent math skills, surveyors must be able to decipher and draw surveys, in order to get the most accurate land measurements possible.

 

 

 

Land Surveyor

 

 

 

Land surveyors can be employed privately or through companies such as banks and insurance companies. The land surveyor must take accurate measurements for the survey, which will be recorded with the county and can be utilized for property boundary disputes.
