About the Owner:

Scott C. Sanborn, LLS #848 , after earning a degree in Electronic Engineering from the NH Technical Institute in  Concord, NH in 1983, made a career change and entered the Land Surveying field in 1986, apprenticing with the highly respected  North Sutton NH firm of Bristol, Sweet & Associates, Inc. under the mentorship of Douglas H. Sweet , LLS and Robert S. Bristol, LLS. He obtained licensure in 1996 , and remained with BSA until 2004  when he established Cardigan Mountain Land Surveys, LLC in his home town of Orange NH. He is a member of the NH Land Surveyors Association. In addition to his Land Surveying practice, Scott is currently the road agent and a member of the Planning Board for the Town of Orange, is a past Selectman, past Commissioner of the Upper Valley Lake Sunapee Regional  Planning Commission, has been active coaching youth sports, volunteers with numerous local organizations, and occasionally moonlights as a piano player.


Scott has years of experience in all types of land surveying activities and projects, from large, remote woodland properties to small in-town or urban lots, boundary surveys, topographic/engineering surveys and site plans, subdivisions, boundary adjustments, road layout, site grading, FEMA elevation certificates and much more. He is well respected by local land use regulatory boards and town officials, and can take your land subdivision project from the conceptual and planning stages through final approvals. 



A particular focus of Cardigan Mountain Land Surveys is in solving difficult boundary problems and assisting landowners and their attorneys with boundary, access and land use disputes. Scott has provided expert testimony to the courts in various types of cases since 2000. He is experienced in preparing Surveyors Reports for detailed and thorough assesment of boundary or other land related issues, and presentation of his professional opinion. He is adept at developing exhibit plans and drawings that present the salient facts in a clear, concise and easily understandable manner to assist the parties' and the court's understanding of the relevant history and how it relates to the present situation. Often - and this is always the goal - through a combination of thorough historical research, evaluation of current site conditions and physical evidence, and a comprehensible presentation of facts, dispute resolution can be facilitated prior to trial.
