A Plan of Survey, sometimes referred to as a Boundary Survey, delineates property boundaries, identifies the location of constructed physical features located in the vicinity of the boundary lines, and records registered encumbrances, such as easements, affecting or adjoining the property. A Plan of Survey is an essential document for both property vendors and purchasers during a real estate transaction. Additionally, a Plan of Survey is a critical document when any improvements are planned on a property because it can help ensure that new construction or landscaping is designed and constructed fully within the property, clear of any easements, and in accordance with relevant zoning by-laws. Utilizing state-of-the-art technology, we deliver precise, accurate, and detailed boundary surveys that adhere to all legal and industry standards.
A Surveyor's Real Property Report is similar to a Plan of Survey but is prepared when dealing with single unit residential properties. A Surveyor's Real Property Report is of great importance to property owners, purchasers, and vendors as it provides a current depiction of a property's boundaries, the location of structures on the property, any registered rights others may hold over it, and highlights any potential encroachments. This information provides crucial insight for property management and real estate transactions.
Furthermore, the information provided in a Surveyor's Real Property Report can be vital for designing and planning construction and landscaping improvements. It can ensure that any proposed changes or developments align with the property's legal boundaries and easements, and comply with relevant regulations and municipal requirements.
Our topographic surveys provide detailed information about the natural terrain and human-made structures on your property. These surveys are essential for understanding the physical characteristics of the land, which is crucial for various applications such as land-use planning, architectural design, grading, and engineering design.
We ensure that our topographic surveys are clear, thorough and precise, providing you with accurate data that you and all your project consultants can rely on. Our standard scope of work for plan preparation is comprehensive, covering all the typically necessary aspects of the property. Additionally, we have the capability to work closely with your design team to incorporate any specific features or requirements, that are unique to your site, into the survey.
By choosing our topographic survey services, you can expect thorough and detailed information that meets the highest standards of accuracy and reliability, tailored to your project's specific needs.
Our construction surveying services are tailored to ensure the timely and cost-effective completion of your project. Collaborating closely with architects, engineers, and contractors, we employ the latest equipment, techniques and technology and stringent quality control measures to ensure the accurate staking of new structures and property improvements in accordance with architectural and engineering design drawings.
We provide essential surveys necessary for your project's design, including grading drawings and construction stakeouts for excavation and shoring, as well as for footing and foundation wall construction. Upon completion of the foundation walls and flooring system, we deliver the final "As-Built" Surveyor's Real Property Report, a prerequisite for municipal approval of the foundation stage. Furthermore, upon the installation of the final sodding, we inspect the "as-built" grading on-site and furnish a grading certificate, as required.
Our experience, attention to detail, robust quality control and responsive approach will help to ensure the success of your project.
For those considering a severance or other consent application, our Reference Plans are designed to present a clear depiction of your property's surveyed boundary and dimensions, including any proposed severance limits and existing or proposed easements. Additionally, these plans will highlight any pertinent physical or documentary evidence that may impact the property's title.
We collaborate with your consultants to accurately outline a preliminary plan for your consent application and subsequently prepare a final deposited plan once all necessary approvals have been secured.
Furthermore, if you are pursuing an application for absolute title under the Land Titles Act, we work closely with your legal team to ensure a seamless and efficient application and final deposit process.
We collaborate with municipalities, government bodies, and other approval agencies to ensure the precise preparation of deposited reference plans and subsequent expropriation plans tailored to the specific requirements of each project.
Throughout the expropriation process, we work closely with your legal team to accurately depict all approvals, easements, excluded easements, and certificates, ensuring thorough and compliant plans.
