Understanding property boundaries is important for landowners, developers, and real estate professionals. The boundary survey process provides a clear picture of what land ownership looks like and can even help prevent disputes in the future.

What Does the Boundary Survey Process Look Like?

When you hire us at Meridian Geomatics LLC to complete a boundary survey, we will follow a fairly standardized process. This process will look somewhat like this:

  • We will start with an initial consultation, where we will discuss why you need a boundary survey. We will also gather information about your property, including information about previous surveys, deeds, and any existing boundary disputes.
  • We will conduct thorough research in preparation for your boundary survey using public records, historical maps, and legal documents to determine the boundaries of your property. This stage may also include contacting local zoning and planning offices.
  • We will visit your property to conduct a physical assessment. Using advanced tools like GPS and total stations, we locate existing boundary markers, measure distances, and establish precise boundary lines.
  • After collecting the field data, we will analyze it and compare it with historical records. This analysis helps us identify any discrepancies or encroachments on the property.
  • We will prepare a detailed report, including maps and diagrams, to clearly outline your property boundaries. This document is crucial for legal purposes and can be used in any future property transactions.
