Staking
Staking operations involve marking property lines by placing survey markers. This is a legal process that falls under the Règlement sur la norme de pratique relative au piquetage et à l’implantation of the Ordre des arpenteurs-géomètres du Québec. Staking physically delimits a property using visual markers and is conducted for the benefit of the client.
Expertise that makes layout planning easier
A wide range of applications
There are a number of reasons to consider staking services for ensuring safe work without encroaching on neighbouring properties. Whether you’re building a garage, putting up a hedge or fence, installing a swimming pool, expanding a house, or concerned about possible encroachments on your property or a neighbour’s, staking services can help.
Limit your risk
Staking minimizes the risk of crossing your property lines, helping to prevent disputes related to construction, structures, or the planting of vegetation. If, during their mandate, the surveyor notices that the survey markers they intend to place might disturb the current occupancy, they conduct an investigation. If a problem is detected, they do not place markers, but prepare a plan and a report explaining the situation and offering their recommendations.
Extremely valuable
Once staking has been done on the site, the land surveyor in charge of the file issues a staking certificate including a detailed plan showing the date of work, the position of markers and the occupancy of the site, if applicable. Staking can be useful to buyers, owners, financial institutions, municipalities, real estate developers, and land rights professionals.
