Thanks,

Now I would consider myself pretty technologically savvy but you have me scratching my head with the below statement.

I am open to having a professional survey done which is what I believe you are referring to...?

The reason we need to be so accurate is that when the construction is complete the event spans completely to the edge of property lines that local officials will not let us cross. So if one of our points is off by even a couple feet, everything needs to be remeasured.

Also what exactly do you mean by triangulation? I understand the concept from movies but how would I go about doing something like that?
