The key idea is converting existing blocks shown in approved graphical cadastral surveys and mapping into a system of numerical cadastral lots, with the computations and plotting carried out within the cadastral project. This specific process is called a conversion survey because its purpose is to take the block-based representation and assign numeric lot numbers, calculate areas, and plot the definitive cadastral plan that will support titles and registration. It’s distinct from boundary surveys, which focus on establishing the exact limits of a parcel on the ground, often for disputes or title refinement; it’s not a general cadastral survey, which covers establishing boundaries or creating cadastral maps in broader terms; and it’s not a topographic survey, which maps terrain features rather than legal parcel boundaries and numbers.
