You may want to order a title report to make sure you are working off what is of record.

And, why do you think the surveyor should have set corners for a condominium when the condo owner may not own the land?

I'm not sure a title report would have helped much. The (complete and total) lack of monumentation within the bounds of condo plat was between the municipality's right of way and an adjacent utility easement that the developer was preparing to pour a foundation right up to the limits of. Builder insisting that my client relocate when it was the developer and their surveyors that placed us there in the first place under a joint trench agreement. I ended up bringing control in from outside and reinventing the wheel because the developer's survey outfit that put us there in the first place, refuses to communicate. My conclusion being that even the slightest hint of any liability, their standard response is to clam up and not cooperate, rather than communicate and find the most practical solution so everyone can get on their merry way. Situation is resolved with no help from them and I have many other fish to fry.

End of rant. Carry on.

No, it isn't acceptable. We should call back our fellow surveyors.

The other Surveyor has no obligation to return your call but should extend the Professional courtesy of speaking with a fellow Professional.
