A FEW THINGS ABOUT US.

 


John Theed, British Columbia Land Surveyor, has recently taken over the day to day surveying practice of Robert Allen and Company, Professional Land Surveyors, who had been surveying the Sunshine Coast, British Columbia, and the Yukon Territory since 1972 providing legal surveys for: subdivisions, foreshore leases, rights of way, forest tenure boundaries, mineral claims, condominium surveys, Indian Reserve surveys, repostings, Crown Land applications and surveys, Real Property Reports (building location certificates), as well as engineering and construction layout surveys, topographical surveys, volume calculations, accident site surveys, photo control surveys, and historical research.

The owner of the new firm is John Theed, B.C.L.S. and Roz Stanton is the office manager.  Patrick Walker, B.Sc., (senior survey technician), Dan Fennings, Seamus Pope, Andrew McIver, and Chris Theed make up the rest of the main staff.  Andrew McIver was a summer student last year and he has now finished BCIT.  He is also now registered as a Survey Student with the Association of B.C. Land Surveyors. 

Mr. Theed was commissioned as a B.C.L.S. in 1986 after a four year article period to F. James Howett, B.C.L.S., in Burns Lake, B.C. and he moved to Sechelt in 1988 and started working for Robert Allen and Company.  Mr. Walker started with Robert Allen and Company in 1975.  Dan Fennings and Seamus Pope have both recently returned to the firm after leaves of absence.  Seamus is also registered as a survey student with the Association of B.C. Land Surveyors.

Mr. Theed is commissioned to do legal survey work anywhere in British Columbia.  Until recently, he was the Secretary of the Board of Examiners for the Association of British Columbia Land Surveyors and he has been the editor of the puzzle page of the Association’s magazine, THE LINK, since 1988.  At the Annual General Meeting of the Association of British Columbia Land Surveyors in January 2001, Mr. Theed was presented with the G.K. Burnett Award for Service to the Profession.

Mr. Walker is our digital terrain model specialist and prepares most of the topographical plans, cross section plans, and computes volumes from these models.

The firm specializes in work on our own area of the Sunshine Coast from McNab Creek to Port Mellon to Gibsons, Sechelt, Pender Harbour, Egmont, and Jervis Inlet.

Some of the major local projects John Theed (and Robert Allen and Company) have been involved in are: Regional Power's Sechelt Creek Hydro-Electric Project; Young Life's Mailbu Camp Hydro-Electric Project; Renewable Power's McNair Creek Hydro-Electric Project; Power's Bear Creek Hydro-Electric Project Construction Aggregates gravel pit in Sechelt; 50 kilometres of Westcoast Energy Inc.'s Vancouver Island Gas Pipeline right of way; Lafarge Construction Materials gravel pit layout and volumes at their Egmont pit and Texada Island quarry; Crown land surveys, legal surveys, and construction layout for Howe Sound Pulp and Paper at Port Mellon; resurveys of timber properties for Canadian Forest Products at McNab Creek and Howe Sound; resurveys of timber properties for TimberWest Forest Products at Egmont; survey of part of the boundaries of Tetrahedron Park for Interfor and also for Canadian Forest Products; Port Stalashen and Ebbtide Condominium projects; pick up and control for the Sunshine Coast Regional District water line expansion program; building and services layout for the Sechelt Public Library building; Gibsons Seniors' Project; and the engineering layout and legal surveys for most of the recent major subdivisions in Sechelt and Gibsons.  We have also worked on many repostings, topographical surveys, form surveys, and mortgage surveys on residential properties.

We have three pick-up trucks (two of which are four wheel drive), up to date survey equipment and computers with the best available survey software.

For anyone interested in obtaining a survey, please provide us with the legal description of your property and the type of survey you require.  We can then review our files, perhaps visit the site, and then advise you of the work involved and the approximate costs.
