Residential Land Survey in Winnipeg

Full transcript

Every residential land survey in Winnipeg begins in the office, where our team conducts a thorough title search to confirm the registered owner, legal description, and any encumbrances that could affect the property boundaries. Next, our surveyors dig into registered plans through the Land Titles system and review our own historical records — some dating back over 120 years — to identify existing survey monuments and understand the survey history of the neighbourhood. With research complete, the field crew heads out to the site, equipped with survey instruments, to locate monumentation across the neighbourhood so the Manitoba Land Surveyor can gather the best available evidence and form a professional opinion on where the property lines lie. Survey evidence can be found several blocks away, so the crew searches for iron bars and monuments along streets, lanes, and neighbouring lots, carefully measuring across the entire block to build a complete picture of the boundary evidence in the area. Back at the office, all field data — recorded both digitally and in handwritten field notes — is downloaded and organized, then handed to drafting staff who compile the measurements, title information, and survey evidence into the final survey document for professional review. A Manitoba Land Surveyor reviews all calculations, verifies the boundary determination, and signs the completed document before administrative staff finalize billing and deliver the finished survey package to the client — because a land survey is far more than just a site visit.
