Topographic and Grading

When engineering or detailed architectural design is required, a topographical survey of the lot will be needed to facilitate these designs in residential, commercial or industrial developments. Topographical surveys show all the features on a property, including all “man-made”, cultural and natural features.

Construction Surveys

We prepare plans for proposed subdivisions, construction layout, as-built surveys and grading. We can even handle or assist with the application process. Land developers who would like to create larger subdivisions will require a detailed road design depending on local subdivision by-law requirements. Surveying Engineers or Surveyors collect, analyze, and manage the global spatial infrastructure. They design, develop, and operate systems for collecting and analyzing spatial information about the land, the oceans, natural resources, and man-made features. They use sophisticated equipment such as Global Positioning Systems (GPS), electronic theodolites, levels, aerial photographs, satellite imagery for gathering, analyzing, and using information about the earth.  Modern Surveying topics include digital mapping, geodesy, photogrammetry, remote sensing, as well as more traditional surveying involving property surveys.

Legal Surveys

Our team of professional engineers conduct legal surveys to determine and interpret the location of boundaries, buildings, structures and other natural or man-made features on, over, or under the ground. We also perform legal surveys required for registration with land titles. This survey redefines the boundaries of a lot of land and re-establishes all corner pins and boundary lines. A fully certified survey plan is produced and registered in the Ontario Land Registry. Often these surveys are obtained to facilitate the sale of a property or when a property has been recently purchased. Our Legal Survey services include: Reference; Condominiums; Plans of Subdivision; Surveyers Real; and Property Reports.
