Tips For A Successful Cell Tower Ground Lease


If you are a land owner that has been approached by a wireless cell phone company about leasing your land to them for the erection of one of their cell phone towers, you need to be aware of the different stipulations, laws and advantages that should apply to you in order to be profitable and successful with your lease agreement. When the cell phone company comes to you with an offer and you are considering leasing part of your property to them, it would be advantageous for you to have help from the inside armed with knowledge to help you get the most from your lease agreement.

You need to understand exactly what it is that you are getting into, what you are agreeing to and what rights to that piece of land in question you give up during the duration of the lease. Your goals are to maximize your revenue from the deal, and you need to minimize your obligations at the same time. How do you know what rights you have? How do you know what you give up? Can the phone company back out? Can they come onto your property at any time without your additional consent? There are some factors that you should take into consideration for these deals to achieve those goals when you talk with a carrier or with a vertical real estate company.

The first thing you should consider with the cell tower ground lease is the location and topography of your land. A carrier will want to hold an investigation of the site to determine how feasible it would be to put a tower up. Most of the time, a suitable site will be about 2,500 square feet in area with land that is flat, has few natural barriers and is easily accessible. You are not responsible for hiring people to do the survey, the phone company is.

Be sure that you are familiar with local ordinances that are in place to be sure that you will even be permitted to put a tower up on your property. Many municipalities require that the land owners get a variance granted (or at least an exception granted) before construction of a cell tower is in place and before a cell tower ground lease is signed. If you will need special approval for everything to go through, the lease agreement should have the carrier be the party that is responsible for getting all of the necessary permits. Should you have any questions about this, you can contact a company that serves as a liason between you and the cell phone company; in fact, you should not ever enter into an agreement without one of these companies being involved. They work not only for the cell phone company but also for you to make sure that your income from the lease is secure and that you are reaping the most benefit possible from the deal.

From Rocky Hillside To Five Star Luxury In Koh Lanta, Krabi


Our clients approached us in April 2007. After two years of searching for the perfect piece of land, they had finally found their ideal spot: nearly 6.5 rai on a steep hillside overlooking the breathtaking Kantiang Bay in the south of Koh Lanta. They wanted to create a family-friendly, villa-only resort, with large individual units and a central pool all with panoramic sea views. They had a clear concept of what was required: it was then up to us to transform that into reality.

Engineering challenge
Our first site visit gave us an idea of the task that lay ahead. The land then barren scrubland – is steeply sloping, and mostly rock with little to no topsoil. There was no water, electricity, or access road. Our in-house engineers did a thorough survey of the area, then worked alongside the architects to create strong and stable retaining walls, required both for the actual house construction, and also for the landscaping – to prevent erosion while allowing proper drainage. All foundations needed to be raised as it was impossible to embed them in the rock.

Design challenge
Our biggest challenge was to design a master plan, within the constraints of the topography, that allowed each villa an unrestricted 180 view of the sea, with no obstructions. The owners had bought the land for the stunning view; and they wanted all their guests to benefit from it.

We made models to reproduce the terrain and played with various layouts. The breakthrough came when we decided in keeping with the clients wish to have a modern Thai feel to the design to play with the roof structure. Traditional Thai roofs have steeply-pitched gables with low volume and these were rotated 90 on some villas to allow the view to be seen through the peaks.

The villa interiors are all identical with a contemporary look, featuring two separate bedrooms, each with ensuite bathroom and semi-open air shower, as well as a large outdoor terrace, again to take advantage of the views. Care was taken to make them child friendly; the whole resort is designed in this way.

Of course, the swimming pool also had to have a sea view and our architects created a stunning infinity edge pool, giving the impression that the water merges with the horizon over the sea – even though the pool itself is only slightly raised from the ground. This also required substantial structural engineering work, particularly in anchoring the foundations to the hillside.

Project management challenge
With the architects and engineers needing to collaborate more closely than usual, good management was the key to the success of the project. The limited budget had to be controlled when choosing materials and the cost of transport over to the island needed to be factored in.

Our foreman, architect and engineer were on site day and night to oversee the construction, as well as send daily progress reports to the clients. Communication for this project was in fact largely carried out by email and Skype, with the clients only required to make a handful of site visits, which was essential as they all had work commitments in Norway.

We made sure that all communication was clear and honest. Even as the project evolved and modifications had to be made to the original plans, I believe we succeeded in respecting their vision for the resort, as well as completing the project within the preferred timeframe.

Topographic Surveys – What Are They And Why Would You Have One?


Firstly of all it is necessary to explain what a Topographic survey is. Although it can have slightly different meanings in the USA and Europe, it is generally taken to mean the study of the shape of the earth’s surface and the depiction of these shapes on three dimensional maps.

In some parts of Europe the older meaning of the word which was a more general study of a place and included such measures as vegetation, man-made features and local history still pervades. In the United States, however, this meaning is used less and topography is specifically to do with ‘relief’ in other words the difference between changing levels of land. This is the meaning we shall be using for the remainder of this article.

You may sometimes hear topographic surveys referred to as Land Surveys, Level Surveys or Site Surveys and they provide architects, developers, authorities and land owners with vital information about the piece of land in question. This information is presented in the form of a three dimensional map.

The terrestrial position of points and distances and angles between them are determined by the topographic survey. Traditional tools and methods such as dumpy levels and clinometers are used although remote sensing technology has speeded things up and led to greater control over long distances. Surprisingly however, the direct survey still provides the basic framework and control points for all topographic work.

The fieldwork in a topographic survey consists of the establishment of a basic framework of horizontal and vertical controls and also the determination of the horizontal and vertical locations of details in the vicinity of each instrument point. The topographic control consists of two parts – the ‘horizontal control’ which locates the horizontally fixed position of specific control points and the ‘vertical control’ in which the elevations of specified bench marks are established.

Architects, engineers and buyers of land all need to have topographic surveys done. It is vital when the design of the building is being done, and also shows how the building should be constructed. Land buyers should also have a survey done when they are deciding what to do with the land.

High Definition Surveying Done Through Architectural And Engineering Outsourcing Via Digiscript Phil


DigiScript Philippines, Inc. offers High Definition Surveying and Point Cloud Conversion services to its clients as part of the companys four major service areas. The three other major service areas cover Building Information Modeling or BIM, 2D CAD Production Support and 3D Visualization. For High Definition Surveying, DigiScript Philippines, Inc. relies on the superb performance of the Leica Scanstation from Leica Geosystems. The company also uses the Point Cloud, Cloudworx and Cyclone applications of Leica Geosystems in complementation with the advanced digital technologies of the Autodesk software suite including Revit Architecture, Revit MEP, 3DSMax and AutoCAD.

High Definition Surveying is a technological development that has completely revamped the process of surveying in the real world. In the traditional surveying procedures, the surveyors had to physically trek through the entire areas that need to be surveyed in order to be able to measure the areas manually. This gave rise to numerous problems that most surveyors encountered. The worst of these problems could even involve possibly losing their lives in the hands of hostile groups. Sometimes, it is the areas geography and topography that poses risks and presents complications and difficulties in measurement. Because of these issues, errors in measurement are bound to occur. This would call for a repeat of the survey, giving rise to similar problems and issues again. Furthermore, the traditional survey procedures were quite expensive.

In the High Definition Surveying process, only a laser beam has to be emitted and swept over the areas that need to be surveyed. This creates hundreds of thousands of very tiny but exact measurements collected and stored by the computer, representing a complete coverage of the areas concerned. When the computer is asked to interpret the data, it produces a very accurate and highly detailed three dimensional image of the relevant areas. The output is crisp and looks just like a photograph. Since it is three dimensional, however, the image can be virtually flown over or walked through on the computer. This advanced surveying method can be used not only on geographical areas but also on buildings and other types of structures such as aircraft or ships.

Surveyors using High Definition Surveying can do the survey very discreetly. Even if an area happens to be hostile, the surveyors can stay safe by being unobtrusive. Since the new procedure is very quick, the surveyors can also leave the area immediately. It does not matter if the geography is complicated. Survey results are always accurate and almost never have to be repeated. To top all those benefits, High Definition Surveying is also much less costly that traditional surveying procedures.

Professionals in many fields rely on High Definition Surveying to ensure the most comprehensive and precise output for their projects. CAD professionals, architects, civil engineers, contractors, plant designers, archaeologists and forensic investigators are among those who use High Definition Surveying for site and engineering surveys; topographic and detail surveys; conceptual design and interference checking; profiles, volumes, and area calculations; fabrication and construction inspection; as-builts for retrofits and remodeling; manufacturing and reverse engineering; asset management; architectural preservation and replication; historical and legal archiving; archaeological documentation and crime and accident investigation.

DigiScript Philippines, Inc. is understandably proud of its excellent High Definition Surveying in Point Cloud Conversion, as well as its Building Information Modeling or BIM, 2D CAD Production Support and 3D Visualization and Imaging. Among its many services in these areas are photorealistic renderings, photomontages and site animations.

Bored Women Want Life In The Sun


Bored British women say a move abroad to start a new life in the sun might just be the thing to sort out their mood, according to a new survey. Over 3,000 British women were questioned for the poll which was carried out by Florette Fruit, and it seems like the cure to boredom is escaping the country.

A never ending routine that plays out every day, no social life and a poor job are the top three factors that the women cited as their reasons for being bored with their lives.

Getting out of Blighty seems to have been a recurring theme during the interviews, with six in ten women wishing they could just drive to the airport and get on the first available flight. In addition, the same percentage of women said they believed they would feel happier if they were to have more holidays during the year. However, many were not content with simply having more time off work and over one third of women asked said they would be happy to pack their bags and emigrate.

Of course there arent many people who would be able to simply get a taxi to the airport and get on the first plane. Most of us have ties in the UK along with a significant amount of possessions. It can appear to be a massive task getting your belongings to another country, but thousands of people do it every single year and its all thanks to the help of specialist removal firms.

International movers help individuals and families in the UK move to destinations all over the world on a regular basis and they know what it takes to make a relocation as straightforward as possible. Changing your life around and deciding to move to a new land is an amazingly daunting thing, and yet with a professional firm ready and willing to help you out with advice and a ready stream of knowledge, the task suddenly doesnt seem so arduous.

Boredom is not a good thing to live with, so if you are planning on mixing things up a little and moving to a new country then make sure you go online and find a professional international shipping company to help make the transition as smooth as possible.
