Since our founding in 1977, we have completed hundreds of boundary surveys, primarily in Maine and New Hampshire. Because both Maine and New Hampshire were part of the original British colonies, boundary surveys of larger tracts often require deed research back to the King's grants (prior to the Revolutionary War) and a re-creation of original Proprietor's lotting. We have been asked many times to survey property involved in boundary disputes and have usually been successful at assisting our clients with negotiating agreements, but also have extensive experience in courtroom testimony.  

This service is also required by virtually every Subdivision, Boundary Line Adjustment and Site Plan Review. A representative sample of the project are described below.

So that perspective clients have a better idea of the services required in preparing a boundary survey, we provide this description of the process.

Boundary Surveys/Subdivisions Projects:

• Lakes Region Conservation Trust - 2000:  This project involved a Category 1, Condition 1, Boundary Survey and Boundary Line Adjustment, as defined by the New Hampshire Land Surveyors Association Ethics and Standards Bylaw, prepared for the Lakes Region Conservation Trust of a 37.34 acre parcel of land located in the Town of Wolfeboro, N.H, owned by Mr. Raymond Tuttle.  Concurrently, we also performed, on the Trust's behalf, a Category 1, Condition1, Boundary Survey of an adjacent 37.84 acre parcel of the Mary McBride Estate.

• Run About Bay Subdivision - 2000:  This project involved the subdivision of a 35 acre cottage colony located on Conway Lake in Conway, N.H.  The original parcel had, for many years, been a seasonal cottage colony.  Today, the property has been converted to a 21 lot subdivision with 8 waterfront lots.  What makes this project unique is the project's accessibility to the Conway Lake.  The project is serviced by a 1/2 mile paved road.  Virtually all other access to the lake involves long, narrow, windy, gravel roads with very little likelihood of upgrade.

• Settler's Green ALTA Survey - 1998-99:  An ALTA (American Land Title Association) Survey is an extremely detailed survey typically required for larger commercial financing transactions, where the Land Surveyor must locate and depict all visible detail on the property, including parking lot striping, utilities, ground covering material (i.e. distinguishing pavement from concrete), curbing, manholes, etc. and be certain to monument all lot line corners and angle points.  The greater the amount of detail, the more labor intensive the survey.  The Settler's Green parcel is comprised of 2 parcels of land equaling 22.30 acres in size with over 225,000 square feet of building space and approximately 60-70% lot coverage.
