What to check when hiring surveyors in Canada
MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.
- Trade licensing in Canada is set by each province or territory. Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire.
- A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
- Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current.
- Get a written, itemized quote with scope, assumptions and a staged payment schedule.
How to judge a surveyor
Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each contractor’s public evidence above.
Verify before you hire
- Boundary, property-line and legal surveys must be done by a licensed land surveyor: an Ontario Land Surveyor (OLS), a BC Land Surveyor, or your province's equivalent, regulated by the provincial association of land surveyors. Verify the licence before you order a survey.
- Be clear which product you need: a building-location survey or Surveyor's Real Property Report (for fences, additions and lot disputes) is different from a home-condition inspection.
- Get the scope, the deliverable (a sealed plan), the price and the timeline in writing before work starts.
- Check professional liability insurance and that the plan will be signed and sealed by the licensed surveyor.
Warning signs of a rogue contractor
- Offers a 'boundary survey' but isn't a licensed land surveyor on the provincial register.
- Won't provide a sealed plan, or is vague about what the survey will and won't establish.
- No written fee or timeline, or a large deposit before any fieldwork.
- No professional liability insurance.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Are you a licensed land surveyor (e.g. OLS), and can I verify your registration?
- Will the deliverable be a sealed plan, and exactly what will it establish?
- What is the fixed fee and the timeline?
- Do you carry professional liability insurance?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy surveyor?
- Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A surveyor backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend surveyors for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Surveyors are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
- Where do the reviews come from?
- They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
- What should I check before hiring a surveyor?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the surveyor, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
