    The land title agency assigns the plan numbers.

  • I use the letter R, no particular reason, followed by the year and then the project numbers in sequential order from when I started surveying. Example :
    R-16497 and if it is a location certificate then I add the letters LC. These numbers as well as other client information is feed into a data base.
    • In our organization the project is given a job number at the time of receipt of a signed contract.  This started at Job 1 60 years ago.  All information related to that job contains that number along with the date it is added to the project file.  Maps are given that Job xxxxx number and if additional drawings then Job xxxxx-1 and so on.  Has worked for us.

    Hi, I use the date in this format: 160326
    (Year,month,day) & then if you have more than one project per day then add short or a abreaviated name or initials of the job.

How to use Forums
Our forums on Land Surveyors United are here to be used as much for finding help with problems in the field as the are for you to express your opinions on anything that has to do with land surveying in general. Feel free to share anything that is on your mind, as long as it isn't meant to damage another member's reputation. Please keep it clean and help insure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of being part of a community that grows together.

We are committed to allowing freedom of expression for all of our members, and that includes maintaining a safe space for people with opposing views to express themselves. We get posts from all over the country and even the globe, so needless to say, people come with different viewpoints on lad surveying practices and processes. We see this diversity and variety as a real strength-- dialogue and debate are an integral part of the educational process, as well as an important tool in exploring different sides of complex issues.

All Community Hubs inside the community have their own forum for asking specific questions to other surveyors, by location, equipment type, etc.
