Re: Site boundaries 9Nov 15, 2013 9:01 pm I will suggest that don't finalize anything unless and until the boundaries are made clear. Believe me, if you go ahead with the uncertainties in the first place, you will end up paying more than that what you may have accounted for. Source: Personal Experience. Re: Site boundaries 10Nov 16, 2013 8:56 am Once the pegs are re-instated, photograph them all with measurements. Thus you know where they should be if they go missing again. Also , as you complete your fences, you should mark the placement permanenty by replacing with a steel rod embedded in a little bit of cement to serve as a permanent marker. Thus in the future you have a permanent reference and no need to re survey. I always do this on my properties as a courtesy to myself and future residents.

I dont know what your boarder would be doing under the fence , but the fence border itself might be right on the boundary, so obviously then you would have to put the permanent marker as close as possible to the actual reference position ,and keep documentation in respect of its relative placement. Re: Site boundaries 14Nov 24, 2013 5:12 pm Two things that are important. 1. The builder and the owner should know exactly where the boundary is located. 2. The builder is usually entitled to require the owner to find or place pegs. One must read the relevant contract in order to be certain, but this is normal. cheers Re: Site boundaries 17Dec 02, 2013 7:29 am JackT Hello Wazza78, You should contact or ask your builder because he give you better advice then others. And you should read these threads in total , instead of just reading the first post and commenting as you have here and elsewhere. If you had read above , you would see the relying on the builder for advice is not always reliable. A survey must’ve completed by a certified surveyor.
