D. S. Dorland Limited, Ontario Land Surveyors

We recently worked with Dave Dorland to arrange a water easement with our neighbour. He was a wealth of information, so pleasant and so VERY helpful. It seemed like a smallish task, but not so! Don't know how we would have navigated all the red tape involved without their super competent help.

James, Will and the D.S. Dorland team did a fantastic job for us. As someone that regularly works with Surveyors across the province I was very impressed. Work was completed on time and under the estimated cost, would highly recommend and will be using them again in the future.

Unfortunately after not listening to a few contractors and random person in general conversation not to use this Survey company being honest when it comes to costs$$.I choose too as it was the original company that surveyed 18 months ago (purchased home 12 months ago).I needed and update, I called and spoke with James Dorland (owner), explained my situation and after some negotiations we agreed on 500.00 + HST to update my survey and filed with the government and city then which I e-transferred as requested.Survey was completed (great field guys).After 3 office meetings 2 which James was there explaining the delay on me receiving my new survey, I received another bill by email requesting balance of 500.00 + HST be paid immediately?!Obviously I thought there was a confusion, emailed back not to hear from any for 5 weeks with another request for payment!Went into the office and nobody was there to discuss this other than the secretary reading off emails and wasn’t informed at all other than this is your cost and you signed the addendum from Nick??No explanation from Nick what it was other than sign and send back to file the survey!No problem, so I did...Originally James asked for a 1000.00 we agreed on 500.00 so being sneaky and dishonest he got his $1000.00...Hopefully this helps the next person to be a little more cautious if they decide to use this company...And Listen to your friends or people that have experienced the same!Thx

Best surveyors in town

D. S. Dorland Limited provided top notch, professional survey work as we worked though all the necessary steps to build our new home. They completed an initial survey, elevation survey, worked through many iterations of the drawing to fit the house on the lot, and completed an as built drawing including drainage certification statements. DS Dorland field crew was fantastic. They were on time, courteous, and more than willing to answer questions. James Dorland and his team were excellent to work with on our project. They were always willing to answer questions and explain everything. I would definitely use D. S. Dorland Limited for a future project.

Slowest moving.

James and his team provided me with a boundary survey and placed new monuments on my older property. The entire process from quote to completed job was effortless on my part and very professional. They kept me well informed throughout the process and the groundwork was very well done. I would definitely seek their services again. Thanks to James and his team!
