The importance of a precise property boundary

When you own a plot of land or a house, it's essential to know the exact boundaries of your property. A precise boundary protects you from property disputes and lets you know exactly how far your land extends. That's where a surveying firm like Hexagon Geosurveys comes in.

A precise delineation of your property offers many advantages. Firstly, it allows you to clearly define the boundaries of your land, giving you peace of mind about your land rights. By knowing the precise dimensions and contours of your property, you can avoid conflicts with your neighbors and protect your real estate investment.

In addition, a precise boundary is essential if you plan to carry out construction, landscaping or fencing work on your property. It enables you to plan and carry out these projects precisely, while ensuring that you don't encroach on adjacent land.

An engineering firm of surveyors uses state-of-the-art technologies such as GPS systems and sophisticated measuring instruments to carry out precise surveys in the field. Thanks to these cutting-edge techniques, they can establish benchmarks and milestones to precisely delimit your property.

The advantages of detailed topographic plans

Detailed topographic plans are essential tools in the field of surveyor-topographer engineering. They provide an accurate and comprehensive representation of the physical characteristics of a site, including its relief, slopes, watercourses, wetlands, trees and much more. Here are some of the key benefits of using detailed topographic plans:

• Understanding land configuration: Detailed topographic plans enable you to visualize and understand the physical configuration of a plot of land. They provide valuable information on slopes, gradients and variations in relief, which can be crucial when planning construction, landscaping or real estate development projects. By understanding the topography of your land, you can optimize its use and minimize potential problems related to natural constraints.

• Assessment of technical constraints: Detailed topographical plans help identify potential technical constraints on a site. For example, they may reveal the presence of watercourses, flood zones or areas of unstable ground. This information is essential when planning construction or renovation projects, as it enables these constraints to be taken into account from the outset and integrated into the project design.

• Accurate measurements and calculations: Detailed topographic plans provide precise measurements of distances, surfaces and volumes. This accuracy is essential in many fields. Professionals can use these measurements to perform precise calculations, make decisions based on reliable data and avoid costly errors.

• Visual support for communication: Detailed topographic plans are powerful visual aids for communicating complex information to the various parties involved in a project. Whether for customers, architects, engineers or contractors, detailed topographic plans enable terrain features, boundaries and constraints to be presented clearly. This facilitates mutual understanding, promotes collaboration and aids informed decision-making.

Administrative and legal assistance in land matters

When it comes to property management, administrative and legal assistance plays a crucial role in ensuring legal compliance and facilitating administrative procedures. Hexagon Geosurveys, a firm of surveyors and topographers, offers administrative and legal assistance services in the land sector. Here are some of the key aspects of this assistance:

• Handling administrative formalities: managing a property often involves a multitude of administrative formalities. An engineering firm of surveyors and topographers can assist you with these formalities, helping you to fill in the necessary forms, assemble the required documents and submit them to the relevant authorities. They will ensure that all administrative steps are followed correctly and on time, saving you time and avoiding problems caused by errors or omissions.

• Interpretation of laws and regulations: The land sector is governed by numerous laws, regulations and legal procedures. The administrative and legal assistance provided by a firm of land surveyors helps you to understand these complex aspects. They will interpret the laws and regulations in force to provide you with precise legal advice tailored to your specific situation. This will enable you to make informed decisions and avoid the potential negative consequences of legal errors.

• Permit management : In many cases, permits are required to carry out real estate projects, such as subdivision. An engineering firm can help you obtain these authorizations by preparing the necessary technical files, gathering the required plans and documents, and submitting them to the relevant authorities. They will monitor the progress of the application and inform you of the steps to be taken to obtain the required authorizations on time.

• Resolving land disputes: In the event of land disputes, the administrative and legal assistance of a land surveying firm can prove invaluable. They can analyze problems, gather the necessary evidence, prepare files and work with your lawyer. Their technical and legal expertise will enable you to defend your rights and interests effectively.

The stages of a real estate project accompanied by a topographic firm

When you embark on a real estate project, the support of a topographic firm can prove invaluable in ensuring that the project runs smoothly and complies with technical and regulatory standards. Here are the key stages in a real estate project accompanied by a topographic firm:

• Preliminary study: The first step is to carry out a preliminary study of the site. The topographic firm will carry out an in-depth analysis of the site, taking into account factors such as topography, environmental constraints, legal constraints and town planning regulations. This study enables us to assess the feasibility of the project and define the constraints to be taken into account.

• Topographic survey: Once the project has been validated, the topographic firm proceeds with the topographic survey of the land. This involves the precise measurement of various land features, such as contours, elevations, watercourses, trees, existing buildings, development paths, etc. This topographical data serves as the basis for project design, and enables the necessary plans to be drawn up.

• Site supervision: Once the necessary permits have been obtained, the topographic firm provides site supervision. This involves checking that the work carried out on site corresponds to the approved plans and complies with technical constraints. The firm can also make adjustments or recommendations if necessary.

• Final survey: At the end of the work, the topographic firm carries out a final survey. This means checking that all project requirements have been met, and that the work has been carried out in accordance with plans and standards. In the event of non-conformity, corrections or adjustments may be requested before final acceptance of the project.

• Cadastre and title splitting: In addition to the above steps, the topographic firm can also be called in to prepare the technical file for updating and co-ownership, if required. This involves updating the land title (from bare land to built-up land) and splitting the title into several private and common parts.

Remote videoconferencing services

In an increasingly connected world, surveying firms such as Hexagon Geosurveys also offer remote services via videoconferencing. This approach makes it possible to offer remote assistance and advice, offering greater flexibility and convenience for customers. Here are just a few of the remote services on offer:

• Remote site monitoring: Thanks to technological advances, it is now possible to monitor construction sites remotely. Customers can use online communication tools to share videos, photos or site plans with the firm's experts. The latter can then monitor progress, carry out checks and provide advice remotely, which is particularly useful for projects located in remote areas.

• Training and presentations: Videoconferencing can also be used to organize remote training sessions or presentations. Whether you want to train your team on specific surveying topics, present the results of a study or share best practices, remote videoconferencing services offer a practical alternative to physical meetings.
