  • When should I get a property boundary survey?
    A property boundary survey is essential whenever you plan to make improvements to your property or if there’s a potential boundary dispute with a neighbor. Whether you’re building a fence, adding a structure, or resolving property line conflicts, a boundary survey ensures that all work is within your legal property limits.
  • What is a strata survey, and when is it required?
    A strata survey is a type of land survey used for properties that are part of a strata development, such as condominiums or townhouse complexes. It defines the boundaries of individual units, common property, and shared spaces, ensuring clarity on ownership and usage rights.
    At Skyview Land Surveying Ltd., our expert team provides precise strata surveys that meet legal requirements and protect your investment.
  • What is a topographic survey, and when do I need one?
    A topographic survey maps the natural and man-made features of a property, including terrain, buildings, roads, vegetation, and other key elements. It provides detailed information on the land's physical characteristics, such as elevation changes, which is critical for planning construction or land modification projects.
    In most municipalities, a topographic survey is required for a building permit application. It also serves as the foundation for architectural design, ensuring that your project is accurately planned and complies with local regulations.
    At Skyview Land Surveying Ltd., we offer precise topographic surveys to help you move forward with your project confidently and ensure all requirements are met.
  • What should I prepare before my land survey?
    Before your land survey, make sure the property is accessible and free of major obstructions like overgrown vegetation or debris. If you have documents such as a legal property description, land title, or previous survey plans, have them ready — they can help speed up the process.

This may include topographic surveys, site plans, or other documents that are often needed as part of the permit application.
