Services
Cadastral Surveys
Our cadastral surveys precisely determine property boundaries using modern robotic equipment and historical records research. This service ensures legal compliance for property transactions and development projects. We maintain detailed records dating back to 1988 and employ licensed surveyors with expertise in boundary law.
Surveyor's Real Property Reports
These reports identify property boundaries, encroachments, and improvements while including title searches to facilitate mortgage approvals. Our SRPRs help property owners prevent disputes with neighbors by documenting fences, buildings, and other structures relative to legal boundaries.
3D Laser Scanning
We utilize 3D laser scanning for forensic documentation, accident reconstruction, and complex mapping projects. This technology captures precise spatial data for legal investigations, structural analysis, and digital modeling applications across Ontario.
Historical Records Research
Our firm maintains extensive historical survey records from Muskoka and surrounding regions, including acquisitions from retired surveyors dating back to 1963. This research capability supports boundary determinations and property history investigations.
