Mortgage Certificates
Building location certificates may be required by lawyers/notaries and financial institutions during the process of purchasing a home. A building location certificate is a plan prepared showing all existing structures on site as well as their setbacks to the property lines.
Monitoring
Building construction, especially deep excavations, can sometimes cause adjacent buildings and roads to shift as the excavation proceeds. During construction, monitoring surveys are required to measure any movement, or lack of movement, to the millimetre. These values are then used by Geotechnical Engineers to evaluate the stability of the excavation and ensure the safety of those working in the excavation.
Subdivision Plan
Divides a property into two or more new lots and sets out the boundaries. The plan shows the surveyed boundaries, numbering and dimensions of lots, the location, width and names of streets. A preliminary plan is initially prepared for the municipality approval. Final subdivisions are electronically registered at the Land Title Office by the client’s lawyer or notary.
