According to the Association of Manitoba Land Surveyors (AMLS), “A Building Location Certificate (BLC) is a legal document prepared by a Manitoba Land Surveyor which shows the exact dimensions and positions of the land and buildings on a particular property. It reports any encroachments onto or from adjoining properties. No survey monuments are placed on the limits of the property, unless specifically requested.”

Our state-of-the-art drones make it easier to survey difficult-to-access pieces of land through aerial imaging technology. Aerial mapping and automated image processing have revolutionized the surveying and mapping industry and allow us to work with increased speed and affordability.
