Share the Requested References
Ask the contractor to identify what must be marked for the planned work. Send those instructions with the property address and explain whether the request concerns a whole parcel or a particular portion of it.
The contractor's intended use helps define the conversation. For a fence, say which sides are involved and whether corners alone provide the requested references. If a site plan or permit request describes the work, mention it so the office can discuss the relevant information.
Coordinate the Required Date
Tell us when the contractor expects to begin and when the marks need to be available. Discuss survey availability before arranging work that depends on the marking. A date entered in the inquiry is a requested date for the office to review.
If the construction schedule changes, let the office know. Ground disturbance or other work at the property can affect whether references remain usable, so explain how the site will be used between marking and the planned installation.
Confirm Project Requirements Separately
Physical property marks provide references within the agreed scope. Your contractor and the applicable reviewing authority remain responsible for identifying the requirements of the proposed project, including any plans or approvals they need.
Ask the appropriate local office about the submission requirements for a fence, pool or other improvement. They can differ by municipality and project. Send any written survey request to us so the marking and documentation can be discussed for that use.
