Land and cadastral surveying

Land and cadastral surveying begins with the purpose of the assignment and the records available for the property. Maplas reviews the location, title or parcel references, survey plans, registry information, previous coordinates, site access and the decision the client needs to make. Depending on the confirmed scope, support may include boundary identification or verification, beacon establishment or re-establishment, parcel measurements, subdivision or amalgamation support, survey-plan interpretation, coordinate recovery, site reconnaissance and technical due diligence. Fieldwork is planned around the required accuracy, site conditions, control information and applicable procedure. Results are checked before agreed outputs are prepared, which may include coordinates, measurements, plans, sketches, maps or a technical explanation. Landowners, buyers and project teams should provide all available documents early and should not move, place or rely on boundary marks without appropriate professional confirmation. Regulated survey work is undertaken through an appropriately licensed survey partner and in accordance with applicable Kenyan requirements.
