Abstract-
Cadastral surveys deal with one of the oldest and
most fundamental facets of human society, which is ownership of
land. They are the surveys that create, mark, define, retrace, or
reestablish the boundaries and subdivisions of the public lands in
Malaysia. Knowing exactly where the boundary lines are is
important for many different activities. If there any consideration
of constructing a building on the property, conducting a cadastral
survey is a requirement to avoid any possibility of encroaching
into a neighboring land. This type of survey can ensure that fences
and other improvements are located in exactly the right position
within the boundary. Originally used to ensure reliable land
valuation and taxation, today these surveys are mainly used to
solve boundary disputes. The boundary mark is important in
starting a Cadastral survey job. This is because the coordinate as
well as bearing and distance is a necessity to start the survey job
in determining all the boundary of a new or existing parcel. One
of the common issues in starting a new cadastral survey job is
finding the location of the work site or lot parcel. It may take a
long time to refer on the certified plan and locate the site
