About this listen

Discover why your land surveyor isn't just another consultant—they're the

foundation professional who can make or break your construction project. Host

William Reid, a seasoned construction industry expert, reveals how these

"property detectives" uncover critical information about your lot

that can save you tens of thousands in construction surprises.

Learn about the six major restrictions cities use to control your

project, from Floor Area Ratio calculations to setback requirements. Reid

shares real examples of projects where assumptions about property lines led to

costly foundation relocations and explains why that fence in your backyard

probably isn't on your actual property line.

Whether you're planning new construction, a major addition, or

considering a property purchase, this episode provides essential knowledge

about when you need a survey, what they deliver, and how they integrate with

your design team. Perfect for homeowners who want to avoid expensive mistakes

and ensure their project starts on solid ground—literally.
