In 1991, Joseph M. Wichert LLS, Inc, was established in Manchester, New Hampshire. 2016 Marks the 25th Anniversary of the company. Starting as a two person firm, it has continued to grow since then. Currently we have a two person survey crew, a one person robotic/RTK survey crew and two licensed land surveyors who are also septic system designers on staff. Our field crews use new modern Topcon robotic and conventional total stations and Data Collectors along with our own Topcon Hyper V Dual Frequency GPS Receivers.
Have you ever purchased a piece of property with the hopes of starting a very specific construction project only to learn the land is unsuitable for your plans? If you have any doubts about a piece of property, you may want to order a land survey before making an offer.
Interpreting early land survey results can be challenging for many reasons, including the fact that measurement units weren’t fixed. In England, for instance, invasions by the Romans, Saxons, Angles, and Jules introduced a series of different measurements that weren’t standardized until the 16th century.
There is some debate as to the origin of the word "Theodolite," which is the name for the portable surveying instrument. The most plausible argument is that the first part of the word “theo” is a misspelling of the Greek stem “thea-,” which means “sight” or “observe.”
We will require some basic information before we begin a project. The most important data you can provide is the Parcel Identification Number (PIN) found on the property tax statement and a deed reference to a recorded plat.
