Description
Resolving boundary disputes requires a combination of technical expertise, clear communication, and practical judgment rooted in legal awareness and evidence-based reporting.

- Surveyor conduct matters: Professionalism, non-confrontational meetings, and client-focused communication help prevent disputes from escalating.
Learning Objectives
