Our Boundary Survey Process
At Highland Surveying, we follow a meticulous process to conduct Boundary Surveys:
Research: We gather historical records, deeds, plat maps, historical photos, and in some cases, parol evidence together with relevant documents that our client may believe to influence the application of fact in our retracement. All this is to understand your property’s history.
Site Investigation: Our experienced surveyors conduct on-site measurements using advanced equipment to gather special data needed for a proper retracement. During our site investigation, we are looking for points on the ground that may impact your property boundaries. How do we know what to look for, you might ask? Well, that is determined by the research phase. Commonly we will locate fences near a property line, structures on the property, ditches, property corner markers, centerline monuments, Section Corners, etc. There have even been cases where we were required to locate a buried axle for a proper retracement. We do the work beforehand to ensure we have the facts needed for your boundary retracement.
Data Analysis: The other two steps are your professional knowing where to look and what to look for in collecting facts. In the data analysis phase, we compare the spatial data to what we found in our research. In some cases, we may end up analyzing thousands of points and hundreds of legal documents. Through this process, we will locate any concerning discrepancies within the two data sets and determine the applications of boundary law that must be applied in your retracement.
Documentation: Professional Land Surveyors most commonly skip the step but not here at Highland Surveying. This is where we document and explain all of the facts considered in your property boundary retracement in the surveyor’s narrative. We do this in such a way that we label each line surveyed to a section of our narrative for clarity and ease in understanding your survey. We then highlight and call out significant facts on the map portion of your survey for a spatial understanding of their relationship to the rest of your property. We then file this report and plat map with the respective county according to state code. This approach is invaluable in protecting your property rights. Anyone who may be concerned with your property boundary will know all of the facts that were considered and the application of law used in retracement. We take all of the questions regarding your property boundary out of the equation and leave only answers.
