Our Story
Amray Land Surveying Ltd was founded by Raymond Yuan, BCLS, who brings extensive knowledge in geotechnical and structural work with over ten years of experience in land surveying. Our company's objective is to provide exceptional services to our clients, whether they are homeowners, businesses, governmental entities, or developers. We cater to both residential and commercial projects, and our mission is to offer the highest standards of work and expert advice to our customers.
Our Services
As an experienced land surveying company, we offer a wide range of services to cater to our clients' unique needs. These services include:
Cadastral Surveys
We specialize in cadastral surveys, which involve the survey and demarcation of land. This type of survey affects title to land, such as subdivisions, strata plans, rights of way, air space plans, and natural boundary surveys.
Construction/Engineering Surveys
Our team is skilled in laying out reference points and grid lines for various construction projects, ensuring that new infrastructure is located according to the building plan's specifications.
Building Location Certificate
A Building Location Certificate is an official document prepared by a licensed British Columbia Land Surveyor, detailing the location of improvements in relation to property lines, property dimensions, and encroachments. This document is crucial for real estate purchases and municipal inspection purposes.
Site Plans
We can prepare site plans that show existing and proposed topography, improvements, fences, proposed grading, and tree location. Our technical expertise ensures that all site information is presented in a format suitable for architects and other related professionals.
Monitoring
This type of survey includes monitoring techniques such as mining subsidence monitoring, structural deformation modeling for infrastructures like bridges, and monitoring existing structures in the proximity of construction activities for movement. We can provide an analysis of correct survey procedures for all types of monitoring surveys.
Topographic Surveys
Topographic surveys establish the different natural and man-made features of land, and are used in new home constructions, subdivisions, and land development projects. One of our most commonly requested services, topographic surveys provide exact figures of the size, height, and position of different site changes that have occurred over time.

Unprofessional Conduct
Both reviewers experienced unprofessional conduct from the surveying company. One reviewer, Pax Elle, reported that the surveyors entered their backyard without permission, damaged their garden, and woke them up from their sick bed with an attitude. The surveyor did not even know the name of the company they worked for, which raises concerns about their competence.
Inaccurate Surveys
Tmj Designbuild experienced poor survey service, where the company failed to provide accurate information. The survey only included the existing main house outline, excluding the concrete walkway layout. The proposed building envelop was also incorrect, and the company did not correct the mistake despite being reminded. The surveyors also missed the existing chimney of the main house and made errors in the site tree dimension and description.
Lack of Compliance with Laws and Regulations
Pax Elle mentioned that the company was not aware of the laws of British Columbia, specifically regarding permission and 24-hour notice requirements. This lack of knowledge and compliance is a significant concern.
