McKechnie Surveying is the result of 3 generations of land surveyors.  We are proud of this History.

 

Clayton McKechnie operated Construction Surveys in Toronto from 1961 to 1984.

S. McKechnie Surveying (Toronto) was formed in 1984 as the result of amalgamation of Construction Surveys and Stewart McKechnie Surveing Ltd.

In 1993 the Toronto company was sold when Clayton McKechnie retired at age 65.

 

Interestingly, Stewart McKechnie and Clayton McKechnie  enjoyed parallel careers separated by one generation. Both worked for Marshall Macklin Monaghan, Surveyors and Engineers and Proctor and Redfern, Engineers.

 

Stewart McKechnie has practiced solely in the Waterloo region since 1993. His brother Dean McKechnie operates a resurrected Construction Surveys in the Toronto area providing survey services to professional land surveyors.
