Frequently asked questions

When do you need a surveyor?

Surveyor services are needed in the following situations:

  • Buying or selling land – to clarify boundaries and area
  • Land division – dividing property among heirs or for sale
  • Boundary disputes – when boundaries with neighbors are unclear
  • Construction – topographic plan is mandatory for building permits
  • Building legalization – cadastral surveying of buildings
  • Establishing easements – road easements and utilities

If you're unsure whether you need a surveyor, contact us – we'll provide free consultation about your situation!

What documents are needed for cadastral surveying?

To start cadastral surveying, the following documents are needed:

  • Land register certificate or extract from land register
  • Owner's identity document (passport or ID card)
  • Municipality/council decisions – land commission decision on land allocation, address assignment or land use purpose determination (if applicable)
  • Power of attorney – if acting through authorized person
  • Existing land boundary plan (if available)

If you don't have some documents, we can help obtain them or advise on necessary steps. Initially, just the cadastre number is enough – we'll figure out the rest together!

How long does land surveying take?

The duration of cadastral land surveying depends on several factors:

  • Field work – usually 1-2 days
  • Boundary coordination – depends on neighbor availability (2-4 weeks)
  • Document preparation – 1-2 weeks
  • VZD registration – up to 10 working days

Total time is usually 4-8 weeks. In urgent cases, we can speed up the process. We can provide a more precise timeline after evaluating your situation.

How does land boundary determination work?

The land boundary determination process includes:

  1. Archive research – analysis of existing documents and maps
  2. Field measurements – surveying boundary points with GNSS or total station
  3. Boundary marker installation – metal or concrete boundary markers
  4. Boundary coordination – agreement signed by neighbors
  5. Documentation preparation – land boundary plan and certificates
  6. VZD registration – submitting data to State Land Service

We provide full service – from initial consultation to registration!

How to coordinate boundaries with neighbors?

Boundary coordination with neighbors happens as follows:

  1. Informing neighbors – we send notifications about planned surveying
  2. Boundary inspection – showing boundary points in person
  3. Signing the agreement – neighbors sign the boundary coordination act

If a neighbor disagrees:

  • We offer mediation and explain technical aspects
  • If agreement is not possible, the case can go to court

Our experience shows that 95% of cases reach agreement! We'll help even in difficult situations.

What is an easement (servitude)?

An easement (servitude) is the right to use another's property for a specific purpose:

  • Right of way – rights to travel across another's land
  • Utility easement – rights to place pipes or cables
  • Water easement – access to water source

Establishing an easement requires:

  1. Cadastral surveying to define the easement corridor
  2. Agreement between parties
  3. Registration in land register

An easement follows the land, not the owner – when ownership changes, the easement remains in force.

Do I need to be present during surveying?

Owner presence is not mandatory during field work, but is desirable in these cases:

  • Boundary coordination – when meeting with neighbors
  • Access provision – if property is locked
  • Specific requests – if you want to point out certain details

You can also:

  • Authorize another person
  • Provide access and communicate remotely

We'll adapt to your possibilities!

What is GNSS surveying?

GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) is a collection of satellite navigation systems including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and others.

GNSS advantages in surveying:

  • High accuracy – up to 1-2 cm
  • Fast surveying – no direct line of sight needed between points
  • Large area work – efficient for large objects

We use professional GNSS receivers that provide centimeter accuracy in real-time (RTK technology).

What is the difference between cadastral and topographic surveying?

Cadastral surveying:

  • Determines land boundaries and area
  • Result – boundary plan for VZD registration
  • Needed for: buying/selling land, division, boundary clarification

Topographic surveying:

  • Shows terrain, buildings, utilities
  • Result – topographic plan for design
  • Needed for: construction, design, territory planning

Often both are needed! For example, if you want to build on recently purchased land.
