Strata
Plans
A strong expertise lies in the preparation of bare-land, townhouse
and apartment strata plans required under the Strata Properties
Title Act. Morgan Stewart and Company has prepared many thousands
of strata lots in the Vancouver area and throughout the province.
Building Leaseholds
To facilitate leasing of space by building owners, we prepare
surveys and plans to define leasehold areas under the Land Title
Act. Past projects include the prestigious Bank of Hongkong
building, Cathedral Place, the new downtown SFU campus and numerous
Vancouver office buildings.
Mortgage Certification & Real Property Reports
We conduct location surveys for residential and commercial buildings
for mortgage and insurance requirements.
Subdivision Design and Layout
From small, single acre residential subdivisions to industrial
mega-sites spanning thousands of acres, we have created thousands
of lots throughout the province.
Rights-of-Way and Easements
Our experience includes rights-of-way and easements for Hydro
lines, transmission lines, telecommunications, including cable,
microwave systems, fibre optic systems, oil and gas pipelines
and B.C. provincial highways.
Topographic Surveys
Creating an accurate vertical and horizontal 'picture' of land
parcels from city lot size to thousands of acres, for urban
designers, planners and engineers.
Control Surveys
For large-area construction, mapping, survey control, or irrigation
projects, we conduct the precise surveys used to create the
control networks for these projects.
Hydrographic Surveys
Projects such as marina developments, underwater pipeline construction
and dredging operations, require detailed bottom surveys.
Mining Surveys
We survey mineral claims and placer lease claims. For existing
mines, we provide surface and sub-surface surveys of old workings,
prior to redevelopment.
Property Boundary Redefinitions
An exhaustive search of Land Title Office records and other
official records is combined with careful and detailed searches
on the ground for original survey evidence, prior to re-establishment
of a boundary.
Surveys of Crown Land - Provincial & Federal
Under instruction of the Surveyor General, we conduct surveys
of Crown Land being leased, purchased or developed. Work has
included tree-farm license surveys for the B.C. Ministry of
Forests, and on federally administered Crown Land, surveys of
Indian Reserves and a joint USA/Canada survey of part of the
Alaska Highway.
Construction Layout
Our crews have years' of expertise completing construction layout
projects. From layout of a single family house to complex high-rise
construction, Provincial highways to large scale heavy construction
works, we have completed all types of construction layout projects
in all types of conditions.
GPS Surveys
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is changing the way surveys
are being completed. Morgan Stewart and Company has expertise
using GPS technology in completing large scale control surveys
over hundreds of kilometres as well as smaller more detailed
surveys for mining and forestry clients.
GIS Systems
In conjunction with GPS technology, the advent of GIS systems
has allowed us to lever the information desired by a client
by creating and maintaining GIS databases. Gathering and correlating
vast amounts of information into a seamless system increases
the productivity and effectiveness of the information provided
to the client.
Pre-Engineering Surveys and Design
We offer a preliminary planning service for engineering projects,
which includes budget preparation and costing for construction,
prior to engineering design.
Complete Civil Engineering Design
For municipalities and land developers, we offer a full civil
engineering design service: detailed topographic surveys, preparation
of 'as-built' drawings, engineering design for roads, sewers
and all municipal services, construction management and field
supervision. Recent civil engineering projects range from single-lot
subdivisions to Panorama Mountain, a multi-million dollar destination
resort in the East Kootenays.
Management and Liaison for Land Planning
Our specific and detailed knowledge of sites and regulations
is brought to bear on cost-effective projects for developers
and investors. We offer management of complete projects from
start to finish including:
- Municipal
