If a client requests a survey without setting corners, what must the surveyor do?

When a surveyor conducts a survey without setting corners, it is essential to clearly note on the drawing or report that corners were not established. This ensures that anyone reviewing the survey understands the limitations of the findings and the context in which the survey was completed. This notation serves multiple purposes: it provides transparency to the client and any future users of the survey, protects the surveyor from liability, and maintains the integrity of the survey process.

Not specifying the absence of established corners could lead to confusion or misinterpretation of the survey, particularly if subsequent actions or decisions are made based on the survey report. By accurately documenting what was and was not accomplished, the surveyor fulfills professional standards and responsibilities, ensuring that all parties involved have a clear understanding of the survey's scope and conditions.
