What is staking
Staking is an essential land surveying service that involves placing physical markers on a property to clearly define its exact boundaries. In Gatineau, staking is especially useful before installing a fence, pool, or shed to ensure compliance with municipal regulations and to avoid disputes with neighbors.
Alary St-Pierre Durocher, a trusted land surveying firm in Gatineau, assists property owners and professionals with staking services that meet all legal and regulatory standards.
Why carry out staking
Secure your projects
Before starting any work on your property, staking ensures that your structures are placed correctly and do not encroach on neighboring lots. This helps prevent boundary disputes and ensures compliance with municipal requirements.
Obtain an official document
At the end of the process, Alary St-Pierre Durocher provides a staking certificate. This certificate, along with a detailed plan, confirms the placement of the markers and the exact limits of your lot, serving as reliable proof in case of a dispute.
The staking process at Alary St-Pierre Durocher
Our land surveyors first review land registry records and cadastral plans. A field survey is then conducted to identify existing occupation marks. After these steps, markers are placed on your property, and a detailed plan is produced. If a boundary is uncertain, a boundary agreement (bornage) may be recommended.
