Services
Residential Surveys
Residential surveys help property owners understand their land boundaries and prepare for construction. We create site plans for building permits, mark property lines for fence installations, and provide building location certificates. Our surveys ensure compliance with local zoning regulations and help prevent boundary disputes.
Cadastral Surveys
Cadastral surveys establish legal property boundaries for land transactions. We create subdivision plans, strata developments, and rights-of-way documentation. Our legal survey plans get registered with the Land Title and Survey Authority of British Columbia to create official property records.
Topographic Surveys
Topographic surveys map natural and man-made features of a property. We document elevations, buildings, utilities, and vegetation to create detailed site plans. These surveys support construction projects, environmental assessments, and land development planning across British Columbia.
Construction Surveys
Construction surveys ensure accurate project implementation. We provide excavation layout, foundation staking, and building location verification services. Our work helps contractors maintain proper grading and meet building code requirements throughout the construction process.
Environmental Surveys
Environmental surveys support ecological assessments and conservation efforts. We provide precise location data for riparian areas and monitoring wells. Our work helps environmental professionals track changes and implement protection measures for sensitive natural areas.

Questions
When is a land survey needed?
Residential surveys are recommended before property purchases or construction. Cadastral surveys establish legal boundaries. Topographic surveys support development projects.
Can I move property survey markers?
Only licensed BC Land Surveyors can set or replace official survey monuments. Moving markers without authorization can create legal boundary issues.
Are land surveys legal documents?
Yes, survey plans are legal documents prepared by licensed professionals. Registered surveys become official records with the Land Title and Survey Authority.
Do survey records become public documents?
Surveys registered with land title offices become public records. Municipal submissions may also become public, but some surveys remain private client records.
What technology do you use?
We use robotic total stations, multi-frequency GNSS, digital levels, and drones. This equipment ensures accurate data collection for various surveying applications.
