Q: What is land surveying?
A: Surveying or land surveying is the technique, profession, and science of accurately determining the terrestrial or three-dimensional position of points and the distances and angles between them. One of the primary roles of a land surveyor is to determine the boundary of real property on the ground.
Q: Why do I need a survey done?
A: Municipal and Provincial Governments require surveys in conjunction with many of the applications made to them (subdivision, crown land acquisition, etc.) These surveys are required to be completed by a British Columbia Land Surveyor.
Surveyors work together with Engineers, Architects, Planners, Lawyers, and other professionals on a wide variety of projects.
At the beginning of your project we can advise you what services we can offer to help your project go smoothly.
Q: How long will my survey take?
A: Each project is different and therefore the timeframe will vary. We make sure timeframes are discussed at the beginning of a project and along the way with our clients. The timeframe will also depend on the size of the project and on what type of surveying is required.
Q: How is payment for my project handled?
