New ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standards. Introduction of “3-Dimensional Positional Accuracy.

David B. Toyos, B&B Geomatics Director, offers a seminar explaining the new ASPRS (American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing) Positional Accuracy Standards for Digital Geospatial Data, Edition 2, approved by the ASPRS Board of Directors on August 23, 2023.

In addition to a solid understanding of surveying principles, methodologies and laws governing the profession, surveyors must stay updated with latest technology and industry standards.

As leading providers of digital mapping, geospatial data sets, three-dimensional models, lidar products, and digital twins for various engineering and planning applications, our technical staff is on top of new developments in sensors, technologies, and industry practices that impact the quality, accuracy and effectiveness of our solutions.

Mr. Toyos presented an overview of Edition 2, reemphasizing that “the RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) is still, a straightforward accuracy measure that is easy to understand and compute”.

Edition 2 was developed by community consensus, with specialists from private companies, public agencies, and academia contributing to its development. For the first time, four state departments of transportation contributed to these standards. This paradigm of participation was created to expand the standards to the wider community of mapping, remote sensing, and engineering practices.

Mortgage Survey vs. Boundary Survey

“Today, people accept title and title transfer to real property. With the present high value of property, delineation must be exacting and interpretation made with extreme caution. The property surveyor must have an adequate understanding of the background of land titles to approach property problems intelligently.”

Brown, Robilland, Wilson

Evidence and Procedures for Boundary Location, Third Edition.

A Mortgage Survey is the same as a Boundary Survey. It must be performed with the same rigor as a Boundary. It must comply with Board regulations and must be prepared under the supervision and direction of a registered Land Surveyor and Mapper. The only different is that it is used for Title Underwriters to make exceptions to Title Insurance Policies and it is always a requirement by lenders before granting a mortgage. Usually it is certified to all the parties involved in a real estate transaction and lists any visible encroachments over easements or adjoining parcels, as well as points of interests that the title professionals might deem necessary.

Why choose Bello & Bello for your Mortage Survey:

  • Hiring Bello & Bello for the original mortgage/title survey is a smart decision. We will apply to that survey the same standard of quality that guides all our survey/mapping services.
  • We will tailor that survey to meet the lender’s and closing agent’s requirements and will produce a clear sketch that mirrors actual field conditions.
  • We will list all the encroachments, apparent uses, gores or overlaps, if found.
  • We will plot all the encumbrances and easements of record that affect the parcel.
  • We will carefully evaluate any discrepancies found between records and field.
  • We will be able to tackle any title issue, encroachments or problem that might directly affect your initial investment.
  • You will save money in the additional necessary services, not having to hire another survey company, but simply calling us for an update once you decide to remodel, rezone, develop or simply refinance.
