Key Challenges & Solutions  

The parcels were non-contiguous and governed by legal descriptions dating back to the 1930s, requiring detailed historical research and careful boundary verification.  

Using a combination of GPS technology and robotic total stations, Honor surveyed the subject parcels and adjoining properties to confirm boundary line locations, reestablish missing monuments, and produce detailed plat maps and a comprehensive surveyor’s report.
