I talked to my favorite surveyor, not to keen to that idea, switching to metric. Old surveys that have to be researched at County and State files would have to be converted to metric, and there's some math involved. There could be calculation mistakes that could be costly when doing conversions. I review surveys and catch a lot of mistakes in the land descriptions part that do not match the numbers on the survey drawings. it happens more than you think.
He indicated the state tried switching to metric once, but went back to standard measurement system.
We did it.
And you guys have probably done this in the past. Ever get a survey plan that used "chains" as the length of measure?
