Land Surveyor’s in Perth

A reference plan (commonly known as an "R-Plan") is a specialized cadastral plan of survey in Ontario that describes and illustrates newly created or consolidated parcels of land. They are essential for legal processes involving the severance or consolidation of land parcels, easement creation, expropriation processes, among others, and are eventually filed & deposited with the Land Registry Office, becoming part of the public record.

Essential for:

• Subdivision of Land: R-Plans are often used to divide a larger parcel of land into smaller lots for development or sale.

• Parcel Consolidation: R-plans are completed when the owner of two adjacent parcels of land wishes to consolidate them under one PIN.

• Registration or Deletion of Easements: Easements, rights-of-way, and other interests are clearly defined and registered using an R-Plan.

• Development and Planning: Municipalities and developers use R-Plans to ensure land development conforms to zoning bylaws and planning regulations, including registering new parcels of land for Plans of Subdivision (parks & designated green space, utility easements, construction easements), and throughout any expropriation process.

A Plan of Survey in Ontario is a certified document prepared by a licensed Ontario Land Surveyor (OLS) that precisely delineates the boundaries and features of a parcel of land. It includes detailed measurements of property boundaries, easements, and may include topographic features. It is an essential document for land development, real estate transactions, construction, and land use planning.

Essential for:

Residential:

• Property Transactions: Ensuring accurate property boundaries for seamless buying and selling processes.

• Boundary Disputes: Resolving conflicts with neighbours effectively, or investigating particular areas of concern; resolving ownership of key features near a property boundary line.

Commercial:

• Site Development: Planning and developing commercial buildings, shopping centers, and industrial parks.

• Leasing and Sales: Defining lease boundaries accurately for smooth transactions.

• Compliance: Ensuring your developments meet zoning laws, building codes, and regulations.

• Utility Planning: Managing the installation and maintenance of essential utilities.

Topographic surveys are used for various purposes. They provide detailed information about the terrain, elevations, and features of the subject land, which is essential for architects and engineers to design buildings, roads, drainage systems, and other infrastructure. They play a valuable role in construction projects, land development, and environmental assessments.

Essential for:

• Design & Development: Our surveys provide crucial information for architects and engineers to design buildings, roads, and infrastructure with precision.

• Environmental Compliance: Assessing environmental impact and ensuring compliance with regulations by identifying features like wetlands and flood-prone areas.

• Infrastructure Maintenance: Maintaining and improving existing infrastructure by identifying areas in need of repair or upgrade.

• Legal Documentation: Securing accurate documentation of land features for legal purposes and property transactions.

• Utility Mapping: Mapping the location of underground utilities to plan new installations and avoid conflicts during construction.

Construction layouts involve the precise survey and positioning of physical features or structures on a construction site according to approved design plans and specifications. These layouts provide essential guidance for builders and contractors during the construction process, ensuring accuracy and quality control measures, compliance with regulations, and adherence to design requirements.

Monitoring, on the other hand, refers to the ongoing assessment and oversight of construction activities to ensure movement does not exceed a specified threshold, or to attain survey data to aid in analyzing or controlling movement of specified features. This can allow for compliance with approved plans, regulations, and quality standards. Both are essential for ensuring the success and integrity of development projects.
