Real Estate Brokers need to know basic surveying Three elements of space in surveying Cardinal direction in surveying How Real Property described What are the different kinds of land survey Read maps? Map symbols Scale Topographic maps Important informations in a map?

WHAT IS LAND SURVEY? MAP? SITE? LOCATION? METES AND BOUNDS ? SUBDIVISION / CONSOLIDATION SURVEYS ? SKETCH PLAN ? PARCELLARY SURVEYS ?

Cadastral Survey = creates or re-establishes, marks, and defines boundaries of tracts of lands. Hectare = 10,000 square meters Kilometer (km) = 1,000 meters Meridian (or line of longitude ) = true north and south line extending from an initial point in both direction

True Meridian = Line or plane passing through geographical north pole and geographical south pole Ante meridiem ? (from Latin Meridies or mid-day) Post meridiem ? Magnetic Meridians = is an imaginary line connecting the magnetic south and north poles and can be taken as the magnetic force lines along the surface of the earth. Magnetic Declination = angle between the magnetic and the true meridian Metes and Bounds = A common method of land description that identifies a property by specifying the shape and boundary dimensions of the parcel, using terminal points and angles.

Original Survey = cadastral survey which creates land boundaries and marks them for the first time Plat = A surveyed map of a town, section, or subdivision indicating the exact locations and boundaries of individual properties, streets, easements, and public recreation areas. Setback = Zoning restrictions on the amount of bare land required surrounding improvements; the amount of space required between the lot line and the building line Subdivision = Land that has been divided by the owner ( subdivider ) into individual parcels or lots which have been grouped into blocks. These lots, together with streets, alleys, parks, schools, planned commercial areas, and public utility easements, are recorded on a plat

Survey = The process by which boundaries are measured and the locations or forms of land areas are determined Easement = areas of land owned by the property owner, but in which other parties, such as utility companies, may have limited rights granted for a specific purpose. Right-of-way = a parcel of land granted by deed or easement for construction and maintenance according to a designated use. This may include highways, streets, canals, ditches, or other uses Latitude = A measure of relative position north or south on the Earth's surface, measured in degrees from the equator, which has a latitude of 0, with the poles having a latitude of 90 north and south Longitude = is a geographic coordinate that specifies the east-west position of a point on the Earth's surface

Prime Meridian = the longitude that passes through the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, England, establishes the position of zero degrees longitude. Mean Sea Level = is a measure of the average height of the ocean's surface (such as the halfway point between the mean high tide and the mean low tide) Datum = is a reference from which measurements are made Contour Lines = a line on a map joining points of equal height above or below sea level Topographic Map = is a type of map characterized by large- scale detail and quantitative representation of relief

Find the location of the point in the map Look for the Index Contour Find the elevation Determine the direction of the slope Count the contour intervals Interpolate http://raider.mountunion.edu/~mcnaugma/ topographic%20maps/contour.htm

Bearings = Bearings are used to indicate angular orientation with respect to the earth Benchmark = A survey mark made on a monument having a known location and elevation, serving as a reference point for surveying. Tie Line = A survey line that connects a point to other surveyed lines Property Line = describes the legal boundary of a parcel of land BLLM = Bureau of Lands Location Monument

TCT = Transfer Certificate of Title OCT = Original Certificate of Title Free-Patent = is a legitimate proof of ownership of public land in the Philippines granted by the Philippine government. It is an agreement between the government and the grantee, that he or she is charged of developing the land within a specified period of time. Consolidation and Subdivision Survey = land survey of more than two contiguous lots merging to form a single lot, and a single lot subdivided into two or more lots, respectively.

CAD = Cadastral Survey Csd = subdivision survey of Cadastral Lot Psd = subdivision survey of a titled properties. All Psd surveys are conducted by a Private Geodetic Engineer Bsd - Is a subdivision survey on government titled properties conducted by a Government Geodetic Engineer. If a private titled land is being surveyed by a Government Geodetic Engineer thru court order, the resulting survey is a Bsd. Psu - is a survey on original land (not yet surveyed) by a private Geodetic Engineer. This kind of survey will be used by titling thru judicial proceedings (means thru court order). FP - Free Patent survey by a Private Geodetic Engineer

Triangulation = a series of connected triangles which adjoin or overlap each other, with angles being measured from determined fixed stations Trilateration = uses electronic distance measuring equiAMent to directly measure the lengths of the sides of triangles from which the angles can be calculated Traverse = consists of a series of lines, whose lengths and directions are measured, connecting points whose positions are to be determined open traverse begins at a point of known position and ends at a station whose relative position is unknown. closed traverse begins and ends at the same point whose position is known

Leveling is the operation of determining differences of elevation by measuring vertical distances directly on a graduated rod with the use of a leveling instrument such as a dumpy level, transit or Theodolites. This method is called Direct Leveling or Differential leveling Indirect leveling can be done using the principle that differences in elevation are proportional to the differences in atmospheric pressure Radiation is a surveying technique often used in conjunction with a plane table

FOR REAL ESTATE BROKERS

is the science and art of making all essential measurements to determine the relative position of points or physical and cultural details above, on, or beneath the surface of the Earth, and to depict them in a usable form, or to establish the position of points, or details. Surveying Uses : Mathematics Geometry Trigonometry Physics Engineering Law

Plane surveying = considers the earth to be a flat surface-- a plane Geodetic surveying = takes into account the true shape of the earth.

Detailed Engineering: These are carried for engineering feasibility studies, ground terrain analysis, design planning and during actual construction phase. Topographic Survey Contour Mapping Hydrographic Survey Construction Layout Highway & Bridge Design Survey As-built Construction Survey TYPES OF SURVEYING ACCORDING TO USE

Ground Control Establishment : These are carried in surveys that require a high degree of accuracy with regards to both relative and absolute geodetic position. GPS Geodetic Control Survey Vertical Control Leveling

Property Boundary : These surveys are carried primarily to determine and establish the legal boundary of real properties. Cadastral Survey Parcellary Survey Subdivision Consolidation Survey Boundary Relocation Survey

Route Alignment : These services are required during the design & actual construction of road alignment and river embankment structures to determine the condition of the existing terrain. Road Alignment Profile Cross-Section Survey River Survey TYPES OF SURVEYING ACCORDING TO USE

DISTANCE = the extent or amount of space between two things, points, lines, etc. DIRECTION = a position on a line extending from a specific point toward a point of the compass or toward the nadir or the zenith zenith ELEVATION = height above a fixed reference point

NORTH SOUTH EAST WEST

PACING Distance = Pace factor Number of Paces

Homework: A Real Estate Broker walked along a given straight line in a horizontal ground that was known to be 60 m long, in order to determine her average unit pace. She paced the line five times, recording 78, 76.5, 77, 87, and 76 paces, respectively. a. Determine her average unit pace, or Pace Factor (PF). b. If the said broker then counted an average of 123.5 paces while pacing off the line of unknown distance, what is the distance? Remarks: Pace Factor (PF) = Distance Average Paces

Taping EquiAMents clisimeter Transit, or Level; and stadia Total Station EDM

A simple measuring wheel mounted on a rod can be used to determine distances, by pushing the rod and rolling the wheel along the line to be measured. An attached device called an odometer serves to count the number of turns of the wheels From the known circumference of the wheel and the number of revolutions, distances for reconnaissance can be determined with relative accuracy of about 1:200.

WHAT IS A COMPASS ? is a navigational instrument that measures directions in a frame of reference that is stationary relative to the surface of the earth The frame of reference defines the four cardinal directions (or points ) north, south, east, and west. cardinal directionsnorthsoutheastwest Intermediate directions are also defined. a diagram called a compass rose, which shows the directions (with their names usually abbreviated to initials), is marked on the compass.compass rose

What is a compass survey? (BONUS PRESENTATION FOR YOUR INFO STUDY LATER )compass survey It is used for you to find north. The arrow that stays in a direction points north. Can used for orienting a map Can be use to find direction Can be use to find location

Orienting, or aligning, the map is really easy with just 3 steps: Lay your map out on a relatively flat, smooth surface. Turn your declination-adjusted compass dial so due North is at the index pointer. Place your compass on your map with the edge of the base plate parallel to the north-south meridians on the map. Turn the map and compass together until the compass needle is "boxed" in the orienting arrow

The Shadow-Tip Method 1. Place a stick upright in the ground so that you can see its shadow. Alternatively, you can use the shadow of a fixed object. Nearly any object will work, but the taller the object is, the easier it will be to see the movement of its shadow, and the narrower the tip of the object is, the more accurate the reading will be. Make sure the shadow is cast on a level, brush-free spot. 2. Mark the tip of the shadow with a small object, such as a pebble, or a distinct scratch in the ground. Try to make the mark as small as possible so as to pinpoint the shadow's tip, but make sure you can identify the mark later. 3. Wait 10-15 minutes. The shadow tip will move mostly from west to east in a curved line. 4. Mark the new position of the shadow's tip with another small object or scratch. It will likely move only a short distance. 5. Draw a straight line in the ground between the two marks. This is an approximate east-west line. 6. Stand with the first mark (west) on your left, and the other (east) on your right. You are now facing mostly toward true north, regardless of where you are in the world. This method is based on the fact that the sun moves across the sky from East to West.

Lines of Latitude Lines of Longitude Example: Equator = 0 latitude -Also called meredian -0 Longitude passes at Greenwich, England (by convention)

If you know where you are on the map, you should be able to look in any direction and see the objects represented on the map in the same direction. If you can see a known mountain in one direction and a lake off another way, then just lay the map out, and turn it so the corresponding marks on the map align with the distant features. You can verify the location of your subject property on the ground

LAND = the Earth's surface extending downward to the center of the Earth and upward to infinity, including permanently attached natural objects. SITE = a parcel of land which improved to the extent that it is ready for use for the purpose of which it is intended LOT = is a tract or parcel of land owned or meant to be owned by some owner(s), with documented defined boundaries (or borders) LOCATION = an economic characteristic of real estate composed of immobility, constant change, dependence, and elements of special distribution REAL ESTATE includes everything in the definition of Land, plus all things permanently attached to it naturally or artificially. REAL PROPERTY includes Real Estate plus the interests, benefits and rights automatically included with the ownership of the Real Estate - Possession, Control, Enjoyment, Exclusion, and Disposition.

Metes and Bound method = a "bounded by" description Uses = appears in instruments such as sale contracts, deeds and other agreements relating to the property Boundaries = uses physical features and geographical references to identify and describe the property's dimensions. Importance = legal description is also helpful in identifying property boundaries when making alterations or improvements, so a proper description is essential in preventing or deciding boundary disputes between neighboring property owners. Lot and Block System = With a subdivision plat or map, the plat or map is divided into smaller blocks, with individual lots demarcated within the blocks.

Map Scale = indicates the relationship between a certain distance on the map and the distance on the ground. Often located in the legend box Types of Scales: 1. Ratio or Representative Fraction (RF) Example: 1/100,000 or 1:100,000 2. Word statement "One centimeter equals ten kilometers. 3. Graphic Scale

Map of the Philippines LATITUDE LONGITUDE

1. Legend, or Key = will show the user what different symbols mean 2. Orientation / Direction = a north arrow (pointing in the correct direction) for user to determine direction 3. Scale = See previous explanation See previous explanation 4. Neatline = the border of a map, to define the edge of the map area 5. Title = provides important clues about the cartographer's intentions and goals 6. Color / Color Scheme = used on maps to signify a relationship to the object or feature on the ground 7. Latitude and Longitude/ Projection = See previous presentationSee previous presentation 8. Cartographer = The authority behind the composition of the map 9. Date of Production = needed for the user to determine the meaning and value of some maps since such as those relating to current affairs or weather are time sensitive. 10. Locator Maps = a "helper" or locator map that places the body of the map within a larger geographical context 11. Inset Maps = additional close-up, "zoomed-in" maps of these small areas 12. Index Maps = labels and other information
