Subdivisions and housing groups

A subdivision passes through the hands of the land surveyor at every stage: before design, during the works, at acceptance, and then to create one land title per plot.

For whom

  • Public or private developers and subdividers.
  • Roads and utilities (VRD) contractors.
  • Owners of land to be divided into building plots.

The steps

  1. Survey control. Traverse and levelling benchmarks (Standard 09 of the ONIGT, the National Order of Surveying Engineers).
  2. Land base. Boundaries defined from the title, alignment check.
  3. Setting-out. Corners of plots or blocks, road centrelines, manholes.
  4. Monitoring of the works. Trench bottoms, kerbs, iron plot-corner markers.
  5. As-built survey and acceptance. Plan of the completed works compared with the authorised plan.
  6. Cadastral file. Subdivision filed and the title split into one title per plot.
