Building Location Certificate Services

At Axis Land Surveying, we provide Building Location Certificates to ensure compliance with municipal regulations and protect your property investment.

Why You Need a Building Location Certificate

1. Municipal Requirements: Often required before allowing foundation pours for new homes, additions, or accessory buildings.
2. Permit Applications: Essential for obtaining permits for building additions or for mortgage applications when purchasing a property.

What We Offer

Our experienced British Columbia Land Surveyors use state-of-the-art equipment to accurately determine property lines and building locations. Each Building Location Certificate includes:

• A clear plan view of your property.
• Information on existing buildings, boundaries, easements, and rights of way.
• Assurance that structures are within the parcel boundaries.

Key Benefits

• Buying or Selling Property: Confirms that buildings are correctly positioned within parcel boundaries, helping to identify any discrepancies before a sale.
• Constructing or Renovating: Verifies compliance with local zoning and setback requirements, often needed for building inspections post-construction.

Process Overview

• A field survey crew conducts a site inspection, typically lasting 1-2 hours.
• We draft and finalize the Building Location Certificate, which can be provided in digital or paper format.

Please note that Building Location Certificates are not centrally filed and cannot be re-issued without another site visit. We recommend keeping both paper and digital copies for your records.

Monitoring

Axis Land Surveying provides surveys for all aspects of monitoring from monitoring gauges on site preload to determine the point of sufficient settlement to monitoring movement on structures and buildings. We use high-accuracy instruments to make observations on targets mounted to the monitoring object and relate distance observations to off-site stationary reference points. The process involves monitoring specific locations at regular intervals. These intervals could be daily, weekly, monthly or yearly depending on the nature of the job.
