Cadastral Surveys

Cadastral Surveys: Defining Property Boundaries

Cadastral surveys focus on establishing and defining property boundaries and property lines. They play a crucial role in determining ownership and ensuring clear land divisions. Our cadastral services include:

  • Subdivisions: Creating, altering, or adjusting property lines to subdivide land for new developments or ownership divisions.

  • Boundary Retracements (Restake): Accurately locating and marking the boundaries of a property on the ground, ensuring clarity and legal integrity.

  • Plan of Survey: A detailed plan that illustrates the relationship between property boundaries and surrounding features, providing a visual representation of land divisions.

  • Surveyor’s Real Property Report (SRPR): A specialized plan of survey designed primarily for lending institutions, providing detailed property information for financing purposes.

Pre-Engineering & Topographic Surveys

Pre-engineering and topographic surveys provide a detailed snapshot of a site's existing conditions, typically conducted before the design and construction phases of a project. These surveys are tailored to meet the unique needs of each client, ensuring that all relevant features of the site are captured for accurate planning and decision-making.

Key Features Typically Included:

  • Asphalt edges and road centerlines

  • Curbs and sidewalks

  • Storm and sanitary sewer structures

  • Power and communications services

  • Buildings and other existing infrastructure

Digital Terrain Model (DTM) The surface of the site is often represented as a Digital Terrain Model (DTM) — a computer-generated 3D model that depicts the existing ground surface. This model is crucial for performing accurate calculations and evaluating potential development options based on the current topography.

 Construction Surveys

Whether you're building a small home or undertaking a large industrial project, we’re here to assist with all your construction survey needs.

Services We Provide:

  • Siting and Layout: Accurate positioning of buildings on the property, including plot plans, grading plans, excavation plans, and blasting plans.

  • Foundation and Structure Layout: Locating foundation corners for excavation and formwork installation, as well as grid lines and building outline for excavation.

  • Building Outline & Grading: Marking building outlines, footing corners, foundation corners, and grades for proper excavation and construction.

  • Ongoing Layout Support: During the construction process, we ensure grid lines and grades are transferred to subsequent floors, formwork, rebar, and anchor bolt locations.

  • As-Built Surveys: Documenting and providing as-built surveys for completed works, ensuring everything matches the original plans and specifications.
