Survey Types Explained
Eight distinct survey methodologies used in Chennai residential, commercial, and industrial construction projects.
DGPS Survey
High-accuracy boundary mapping using RTK satellite receivers anchored to national geodetic reference points (±2–5 cm accuracy).
Drone Survey
Aerial mapping using UAVs for large plots, topographic analysis, volumetric computation, and orthorectified aerial imagery.
Topographic Survey
Contour maps at defined intervals for site planning, drainage design, and cut-fill earthwork estimation.
Land Survey
Boundary verification with FMB sketch overlay, encroachment checks, and corner pillar placement for ownership clarity.
Pile Point Marking
Foundation point layout transferred directly from structural drawings onto the plot using total station equipment.
Construction Layout Marking
Column grid stakeout on site aligned with approved architectural plans — essential before slab or excavation begins.
Soil Investigation
Bore log analysis and Safe Bearing Capacity (SBC) value testing to inform foundation design decisions.
Volume Survey
Cut-fill calculation for earthwork planning, pricing, and contractor billing verification on large sites.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a survey before applying for CMDA plan approval?
Yes. CMDA requires a site plan prepared from a licensed surveyor's measurements for any building plan approval. Without this, your application will be rejected at document verification.
What is the difference between DGPS and a regular survey?
A regular survey uses a total station (local reference), while DGPS uses satellite signals (RTK GNSS) anchored to national geodetic reference points. DGPS is more accurate (±2–5 cm) and produces deliverables with geographic coordinates usable in GIS systems.
Can your team mark pile locations directly from the structural drawing?
Yes. Our survey team can translate the column/pile grid from your structural drawing onto the actual plot using total station layout marking. This is essential before excavation or piling work begins.
Do you provide the FMB sketch along with the survey report?
Yes. We include the government-issued FMB (Field Measurement Book) sketch overlay in all boundary verification surveys.
