CADASTRAL SURVEY
The purpose of a Topographical Survey is
to collect survey data of natural and man-made features of the land and its elevations.
​Existing features, such as trees, buildings, streets, walkways manholes, utility poles, retaining walls, that are visible from the ground are identified and measured. Spot levels are also taken to provide the contour of the land.
The resulting topographic maps provides a detailed and accurate picture for architects, engineers, and building contractors to use in their planning and design stages of work.
