PLOTTING

In plotting simple technical description of surveys appearing on the title, consult any acknowledge-able or experienced person, a Geodetic or Civil Engineer or an Architect.  However, for purposes of simply having a reference plan for any particular land with four corners, you may try to plot the map plan as follows:

1. Determine the proper or ideal scale to be used.  Analyze the suitable measurements that will possibly fit with the center of your drawing paper.  Normally, lots more than 1000 square meters in area, a scale of 1:200 up to 1:400 is used.  For larger lot areas, a higher scale of 1:500 or up is used.
2. using a triangular scale in circular or half circular protractor, plot and draw the boundary lines based on every bearing and distance between every corner indicated on the technical description of title.
3. Always orient the protractor towards the north and start planning from corner 1 up to the last corner, the bearing indicated in the lot description.  Then using the triangular scale, measure and draw the distance indicated therein.
4. Continue the same process from one corner or line to another up to the last corner line until it meets corner 1 which is the point of beginning.  This process should be done accurately to render the results correct.  Otherwise, plotting becomes a trial and error process which is costly in terms of time and material.
5. If accurately done, you can proceed in indicating the corner numbers, bearings and distances, lot areas, lot and block numbers, not only of the subject property but also the adjoining lots as indicated in the technical description of the title.
