The layout is the positioning in the field of a future construction. At the end of an implantation, the land surveyor delivers a certificate of coverage which is a written confirmation of the execution of the works.
Before delivering a building permit, municipalities often ask for a layout project. The land surveyor prepares a plan on which he indicates the projected building layout, compared with the property lines.
The layout operations are governed by the Regulation respecting standards of practice for staking and layout of the Quebec Land Surveyors Order. (L.R.Q., c. A-23, r.8.1.1).
