A topographical plan is the foundation for any construction or design work. We develop high-detail topographical information (ADTI) at scales 1:250, 1:500, or 1:1000. Our specialists perform not only on-site surveying but also coordinate all engineering utilities with their providers (TET, Sadales Tīkls, Liepājas Ūdens, etc.) and register data in the municipal database.
Who needs it
- Topography for design purposes
- As-built surveys for building commissioning
- Coordination with utility network providers
- Registration in the municipal database
How the work runs
- Field WorkSurveyors visit the site and measure the situation.
- Office WorkData processing and plan drawing in CAD software.
- CoordinationCoordinating the plan with utility providers (electricity, gas, water).
- RegistrationPlan verification and registration in the municipal ADTI database.
What you receive
Coordinated topographical plan in .dgn and .pdf format, valid for 2 years (or until situation changes).

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 is a topographic plan and what is it needed for?
A topographic plan is a detailed map of a land plot showing:
- Terrain – elevation marks and contour lines
- Buildings and structures – existing constructions
- Utilities – water, sewage, electricity, gas
- Roads and driveways
- Vegetation – trees and bushes
A topographic plan is mandatory for:
- Obtaining building permits
- Utility design
- Territory planning
The plan is typically valid for 2 years (depending on municipality requirements).
How to order surveying services?
Ordering our services is simple:
- Contact us – by phone +371 634 83194 or email info@topoprojekts.lv
- Free consultation – we'll explain the process and provide a quote
- Contract signing – agree on scope of work and timeline
- Work execution – we perform field measurements and prepare documents
- Delivery of results – you receive completed documents
Initial consultation is free! Feel free to call even if you just want to find out whether you need a surveyor at all.
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!
When do you need a topographic plan for construction?
A topographic plan for construction is needed for:
- Building project development – for architects and engineers
- Building permit application – mandatory attachment
- Utility connections – water, sewage, electricity
- Earthworks – if you plan ground level changes
Important: You need the plan before ordering the building project! It's the foundation for all design work.
We can prepare the plan within 1-2 weeks after field work.
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.
How long is a topographic plan valid?
A topographic plan is typically valid for 2 years, but this may vary:
- Municipality requirements – some municipalities may have shorter or longer periods
- Utility company requirements – may require a more recent plan
- Significant changes to territory – if construction or demolition occurred
Recommendation: Order the topographic plan when you're ready to start design work, so it remains current throughout the process.
If your plan has expired, we can update it for a lower price than a completely new plan.
