What does a property line survey establish?
A property line survey investigates where a boundary lies using relevant records, survey evidence and field measurements. The assignment may focus on one line, several lot limits or the information needed for a particular improvement. We clarify whether you need markings on the ground, a drawing or a more comprehensive property report before the work begins.

Frequently asked questions
Can I rely on the existing fence?
Not as boundary confirmation by itself. Share your plans before relying on its position.
Is this the same as a topographic survey?
No. A topographic survey focuses on terrain and site features. Include boundary work explicitly when you need both.
Can a survey resolve a neighbour dispute?
It supplies boundary information. A dispute about legal rights may also require your lawyer's advice.
