Surveying in the Cowichan Valley - Our Services
Parts of the Cowichan Valley were surveyed in the mid to late 1800s by settlers, and large parts of the area fell under the E&N Railway Grant. With its lush valleys, abundance of water bodies combined with a complex history of land surveys, the Cowichan valley is a challenging place to work with no shortage of adventures. Our daily work takes us from Ladysmith to the Malahat, to Lake Cowichan, Cobble Hill and everywhere in between. We have been involved in many intricate boundary surveys, natural boundary surveys and development projects around the valley and have gotten to know our community well. We enjoy helping landowners understand their boundaries and navigate the approvals process and we are always up for a challenge.

British Columbia Land Surveyors Location Certificates
Purchasing land in Cowichan Valley? Many banks require Building Location Certificates, or Mortgage Certificates as a component of financing agreements. These certificates outline the land, existing structures and rights-of-way on the lot including encroachments on or off the property. Polaris will research existing plans and previous records to establish property lines and all other structures on your lot. If you’re planning on renovating your home, topographical detail must be included in this plan to allow the municipality to establish that your renovation will comply with building zoning requirements. Our state of the art equipment allows us to conduct fieldwork with precision and deliver highly accurate plans. Contact our surveyors today for your Location Certificate needs in Cowichan Valley.
