The challenge

A fence, a drawing, and a property description do not always tell the same story. Before you build, buy, or design, you need to understand what is on the ground and where the boundaries are.

How we help

Turn property questions into clear survey information.

Povey & Associates researches records, finds survey evidence, and measures your site. We establish boundaries and document existing conditions so your contractor, designer, lender, or real estate team has the information needed for the next step.

Serving Central Oregon since 1927, our licensed professional land surveyors use Trimble R10 GPS and Robotic Total Station equipment for field measurements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about land surveying services

A boundary survey establishes the exact property lines of a parcel of land. You typically need one when buying or selling property, building a fence or structure near property lines, resolving a property line dispute, or subdividing land. In Central Oregon, many properties have never been formally surveyed, making boundary surveys essential for accurate property identification.

The timeline depends on the type of survey and property complexity. A standard boundary survey for a residential lot typically takes 1-2 weeks from start to delivery. Larger properties, complex topography, or ALTA/NSPS surveys may require 2-4 weeks. We always provide a timeline estimate during your initial consultation.

A boundary survey establishes property lines and corners, while a topographic survey maps the existing features and elevation changes of a property. Topographic surveys show buildings, trees, utilities, drainage patterns, and contours. They're essential for construction planning, site development, and engineering design.

No, you don't need to be present during the field work portion of the survey. However, we do recommend meeting with you before or after to discuss the survey results and answer any questions. If there are access restrictions, locked gates, or dogs on the property, we'll coordinate with you ahead of time.
