Time spent verifying the location of a building or other structures will
help you avoid a costly embarrassment later during construction.
So, the answer to the question “Where are you?” in terms of land-
scape site design and site grading can be found using the USGS or local
jurisdiction referencing system. Once one or more property corners are
identified, these corners can be tied to the jurisdictional system. From
there, any point or series of points, lines, or objects existing within the
property can be precisely located based on a grid system overlaid on the
property. Proposed design elements such as a building or parking lot or
driveway are dimensioned using the grid reference system, to establish
property line corners based on nearby governmental bench marks that
can be researched at a local municipal, county, or state public works or
planning department.
