Land Surveying
Sun Country Engineering has specialized in land surveying for over 40 years. We have worked in the past with both private and public clients and no job is too large or too small.
Surveying or land surveying is the technique, profession, art, and science of determining the terrestrial two-dimensional or three-dimensional positions of points and the distances and angles between them. Surveyors measure and compare property records to determine the physical location of roadways, private and public property boundaries. In practical application, we create mapping products for many purposes in the land use business.
Boundary surveys are made to delineate a property’s location in relation to monuments and other adjacent properties. Often, boundaries are disputed as to the precise location. Often, two neighboring property owners desire to move the legal boundary between the two.
New construction will typically start with a topography survey, a map of the physical properties of a particular lot or parcel as a base map for design and land use planning. Some properties slated for development can be split into a few or many new parcels, such as a 3-lot partition or a multi-unit subdivision. These survey documents are filed with the County Surveyor to keep a perpetual record of all properties in the county.
