Land Survey (How to make sense of it?!)

Does anyone have suggested links/websites/resources regarding how to read a land survey?
We are looking to build on a waterfront and are trying to determine if the size of properties will allow for the placement of a building while considering minimum Bylaw setbacks from water and roads etc.

Thanks :)

Presuming you already have a copy of your land survey,... just google " how to interpret a land survey " and you will get tons on hits.

It normally is not too challenging if you are dealing with your own property survey and not a survey for a development.

You also, can go back to the surveyor and simply ask for some help on interpreting the survey.
