Mentoring Mondays: Tomorrow Night! Join us tomorrow night at 4 pm Pacific Time / 7 pm Eastern Time. Click on the link to register. https://lnkd.in/g3bUcDi Tomorrows session: NLC Three-Stage Boundary Survey Process (Part 1 of 3 ) NLC conducts every land survey using a three-stage process. Stage I Record Research, Stage II Field Work, and Stage III Analysis and Map/Report Creation. This three-stage process is followed to ensure that our opinions are complete, accurate, and robust. The sub-processes of each Stage may vary depending on the type of survey being conducted. Stage I Record Research Record research is key when conducting any type of survey, especially a boundary retracement survey. While most surveyors obtain the vesting deed, and some surveyors follow the chain-of-title beyond the vesting deed, it is not usual for surveyors to do a cursory Stage I, thus missing boundary line agreements, trial court cases, and other important conveyances. Without a thorough Stage I, it is impossible to conduct Stage II or Stage III properly. In tomorrow’s MM session, Tony will be discussing how NLC conducts Stage I and some of the key processes that are often overlooked by boundary surveyors.
