What you post
A sample post
This is the kind of post that lands in your plan, here for Instagram.
Myth: The size on the sale deed is the size on the ground. Fact: Records and reality can differ. Old measurements, encroachments and road widening all change the picture. Survey before you buy or build.
Photo brief. Split card: a folded document with blurred text labelled MYTH, a total station on an open plot at sunrise labelled FACT.
Myths your customers believe
Posts that correct a myth earn trust. Your plan includes them, with your business name attached.
Myth. The size on the sale deed is always the size on the ground
Fact. Records and ground reality can differ because of old measurements, encroachments or road widening. A survey shows what is actually there.
Myth. A tape measure is good enough for a plot
Fact. For small rectangles it may be close. For irregular plots, slopes and larger areas, a total station or GPS survey is far more accurate.
Myth. A private survey settles legal boundary disputes
Fact. A private survey gives accurate measurements, but legal boundaries and title are decided by government land records and, if needed, the courts.
Myth. Contour surveys are only for big projects
Fact. Even a house plot benefits from knowing levels, for drainage, plinth height and earthwork estimates.
How to prepare for a land survey
- Collect property documents and any old maps
- Clear vegetation from boundary lines and corners
- Inform neighbours if boundaries are shared
Questions your customers ask
What does a plot survey include?
Measuring boundaries, corners and key features with a total station or GPS, then preparing a drawing showing dimensions, area and existing structures.
Is your survey legally valid?
Our survey gives accurate measurements for planning and construction. Official land records and measurements are issued by the government land records department.
When should I get a survey done?
Before buying land, before designing a building, before construction marking, and whenever boundaries are unclear.
What is a contour survey?
A survey of ground levels that shows slopes and high and low points, used for drainage, plinth levels and earthwork calculation.
Can you mark the building layout on site?
Yes. We set out the building lines from approved drawings so construction starts in the right place.
What documents should I keep ready?
Property documents, any old survey maps, approved plans if available, and contact details of neighbours where boundaries are shared.
