What do land surveyors do during the preparation of an RPR?

During the preparation of a Real Property Report (RPR), land surveyors conduct a field survey. This involves physically measuring the dimensions and boundaries of a property, identifying any structures, and assessing the relationship of the land features to the legal boundaries. This information is crucial for creating an accurate and comprehensive RPR, which is a legal document that illustrates a property's boundaries and any improvements or encroachments.

The field survey conducted by land surveyors ensures that the data collected is precise and conforms to legal standards, providing assurance to property owners, buyers, and lenders about the property's layout and limits. This step is fundamental to the overall integrity of the RPR and helps in resolving any boundary disputes or compliance with zoning regulations.
