Precision Land Surveying in Chennai
Frequently Asked Questions
Why can’t I just use a measuring tape instead of a surveyor?+
Measuring tapes stretch and cannot accurately measure angles or diagonals on irregularly shaped plots. This leads to incorrect area calculations, risking FSI (Floor Space Index) violations and CMDA approval rejection.
What is an FMB Sketch and why is it important in Chennai?+
The Field Measurement Book (FMB) sketch is a government record maintained by the Tahsildar office. We superimpose your physical plot dimensions over the FMB sketch to prove legal ownership dimensions before you build or buy.
Do I need a land survey before buying a plot?+
Absolutely. A pre-purchase boundary survey ensures you aren’t buying encroached land or a plot that is physically smaller than what is stated in the sale deed.
What is the difference between Total Station and DGPS?+
Total Station uses a laser to measure distances from a single point, ideal for smaller residential plots in dense Chennai areas. DGPS uses satellite signals for massive tracts of land or agricultural plots where line-of-sight is impossible.
