One monument can be confirmed correct in place with the finding of the original accessories that are in agreement with what is stated in the original document.
Apart from that, you must continue the survey until all doubt is gone.
Good point. Communication! Find out exactly what they need and give them an honest price.
I've done hundreds of existing one line surveys and never have never had to bring my hands.
I've tried to do one-line surveys here but each and everyone one of them complain that I'm charging too much.?ÿ ?ÿIt should be easy.?ÿ ?ÿFind one point, turn to the bearing that is on the deed and mark the distance, right??ÿ f they ask what it would cost to do the whole thing I give them the same price and they then realize that no matter what, I have to survey the whole property and still don't order the survey.?ÿ ?ÿOh well - I didn't need the liability anyway because most of them are arguing with their neighbor.
There are numerous properties where lines and groups of lines do not depend on the location of others for the same parcel. In those cases one line or group can properly be surveyed at what may be a substantial discount.
I've done a few hundred cell tower sites. Some of them sit on parcels spanning several sections. Surveying the entire property rather than the pertinent lines would cost more than the tower and antenna array. It would also be a terrible waste of the clients money...

I've?ÿnot come across anyone on this forum that would turn a bearing, measure a distance and set a pin. How would you determine the bearing? Sunshot, compass, Starshot, GPS? If you have two good be original found monuments it's a pretty simple process to "stake one line". Why would you need to survey the whole parcel?
Hey Mr. Surveyor, we need to ?ÿput up 250' of new fencing at the security gate to our facility (at the black arrow on the attached exhibit).?ÿ Can you provide me a fee for that?
Sure...$75,000
Hey Mr. Surveyor...this ain't Colorado, whatcha smoking.
Well, in order to protect your rights I'm going to have to retrace 2 miles of the original layout of both the B&O Railroad and the C&O Canal.
By all means then, go ahead...would you like me to cut you a check in advance?

Which part Pete. How do you determine a bearing when your surveying?
There's a big difference between locating one line on a parcel created by a fairly recent subdivision where you have original monuments on both ends of the line and the distance measured between them matches record closely enough?ÿ to not set off any sirens and your independent gps derived bearings match record fairly close. A check into a third monument in the subdivision and it's all good.
Another parcel that's only described by aliquot parts in a gobbed up section that's been broken down three different ways by three different surveyors. You have some mangled rebar with no caps that may or may not?ÿbe the parcel corners, but the only way you'll?ÿknow?ÿfor sure is to do your own section breakdown. ?ÿClient points to the mangled rebar and says that's his corner. You ask how he knows this. His realtor told him. His realtor also told him it shouldn't cost more than a couple hundred bucks to get it marked so he could construct his $10,000 fence.
A big part of being a licensed professional is knowing better.

Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get me.
One side is frequently a section line in PLSSia. ?ÿIt ain't movin'.

if a neighboring owner's title, occupation, and record mapping does not conflict, then it is not moving either
parcel boundaries are a collection ... any one can be in question, but that one may not matter

How about a Government lot line? Can that move. A Section Line would have to have two original monuments at each end to not move wouldn't it?
There are different types of property, I do portions of?ÿparcels often. Doing a couple this week.
