What are the different steps of a staking? During a staking, a land surveyor gives his professional opinion on the property lines. In order to complete a new analysis, the land surveyor will look for all pertinent information available, such as property titles at the registry office and cadastral plans. A field survey to control the occupancy marks is also necessary. Following this, survey markers will be placed to indicate the property limits.
A staking certificate plan confirming the installation of survey markers will be provided to you. If some survey markers were not installed or if there are some anomalies , this plan will be accompanied by a report. It is important to note that if one boundary is uncertain, the land surveyor will not install the marker(s). If this is the case, a boundary settlement could be necessary since it would involve the neighbouring land owners.
What is a survey marker? A survey marker is a metal rod that is at least 60 centimetres in length and 15 millimetres in width. This metal rod has a sleeve with a minimum width of 3 centimetres or a cap with a minimum diameter of 5 centimetres. These caps are usually orange and are engraved with the information of the land surveyor assigned to the project.
