Whether you are purchasing or selling property or applying for building permits, a land survey is a crucial part of the process. It helps you determine the proper boundaries, gives you information that is necessary for planning and construction, and also helps avoid legal issues regarding the occupancy of your land.

Land surveying is divided into different types to meet specific requirements. However, this means that sometimes more than one type of survey will be necessary. It also means that one should be fairly knowledgeable about choosing the right survey. Alberta Geomatics Inc. has been providing land surveying services in Edmonton for over 16 years.

The ease of owning and managing a condominium has made it a very popular choice among house hunters. An important part of the process of buying, selling, or building a condominium is the condominium survey report. It is essential for all the legal processes or paperwork, such as applying for building permits. The survey delineates the limits of ownership, both for each unit and also the shared ownership within the condominium association. It also states if the construction is a new one or the conversion of an existing building. Condominium surveys are governed by the Condominium Property Act and indicate the actual field measurements and dimensions. So, if you are planning to buy a condominium, a survey report helps you verify the allocated spaces. You can even check whether common elements, such as roof decks, are marked in the condominium plan as a common space or as an assigned space. Our team of land surveyors at Alberta Geomatics has been providing condominium surveys and real property reports for over 16 years.
