Real Property Report - Elevations? (Trying to design a deck) - Calgarypuck Forums - The Unofficial Calgary Flames Fan Community

I'm trying to find out the elevations of my property, and the plot plans I've seen from builders usually have them on it, but I don't think I have my plot plan. I've got my real property report, which of course has the layout and measurements and stuff, but I don't see any elevations on it at all that I can tell. Is that normal?

Just checked, mine doesn't have elevations. It was done in 2004.

It's not on my RPR either, just on my plot plan. Just curious why you want it?

Get a GPS device. It will tell you elevation.

Make sure it has a barometer and you calibrate it. Without it a GPS is very innacurate when measuring elevation.

Are you talking the elevation, or the slope of your yard? There is a big difference.

If I have the elevations I can get a rough idea of the slope of my yard. They give 30m at the back and 32.98m at the front, plus a few points along the side. Not exact, but close enough for my needs.

I'm playing around with one of these deck designer programs, and I'm trying to get my house on there. Man these programs are awful, it's like they haven't changed the code since Windows 3.1!

EDIT: I found my plot plan so I was able to find them.
