Cadastral Surveying

Comprehensive education in one’s chosen field is necessary for all professionals. Continuing Education and training are the backbone of professionalism as it allows the practitioner to refresh those areas of knowledge not utilized on a regular basis and to become familiar with new developments and advancements within their chosen field. Professional Land Surveyors are frequently required to express their professional opinion and render decisions on which land titles, boundaries, and visible improvements are the essential issues. In these situations, as with all aspects of surveying, the process of gathering, examining, rendering an opinion, and presenting collected data in a clear and defensible manner is vital. As these decisions may result in litigation and involve judicial review, surveyors must ensure that the information collected and presented is complete, accurate, precise, legible and conforms to the standards to which the surveyor has certified on the face of the survey plat, drawing or surveyor’s report. These materials are designed to assist you, the professional surveyor or engineer, in the development of a thorough, logical, and knowledgeable approach to the exercise of your profession.
