- Delivering the survey report. You can talk to our surveyors if you have any issues with the report. Every point of the report will be explained.
For every new construction or renovation, a topographic survey is to be carried out before working on the design and architecture. The survey report then needs to be submitted to the local authorities for approval along with the application for starting the construction work. Once the approval is received, only then the design can be worked on.
