Boundary & Cadastral Survey

Legally defensible boundary demarcation, subdivision layouts and cadastral plans — using RTK/GNSS, total station and drone verification across Kenya.

Know where the line is — and prove it

Land disputes, subdivision approvals, title processing and development planning all start with the same question: where exactly is the boundary? We establish, re-establish and verify property boundaries using RTK/GNSS rovers, total stations and, where useful, drone imagery to provide the spatial context around the parcel.

You get a survey plan that holds up at the land registry, in a boardroom, or in court — with the control documentation, beacon coordinates and cadastral references behind it. We work with private landowners, developers, county governments and legal teams across Kenya.

What you receive

Everything the land registry, your lawyer or your development consultant needs — in one pack.

Survey plans and cadastral maps

Boundary survey plans prepared to the standards required for land registry filing, title processing or court submission.

Beacon coordinates and schedules

Precise coordinates for every boundary beacon, referenced to the national geodetic framework and your project CRS.

Subdivision and amalgamation layouts

Parcel layouts for subdivision or amalgamation applications, with areas, frontages and access points dimensioned.

Supporting drone imagery

Where useful, an orthomosaic or annotated aerial image that gives the visual context around the parcel — fences, structures, access, neighbours.

How a boundary survey runs

Whether it's a single plot or a 200-parcel estate, the discipline underneath is the same.

01
Title and records review
We pull the existing registry records, deed plans and any prior survey data before going to site.
02
Field survey and beacon establishment
RTK/GNSS and total station work to fix, re-establish or verify boundary points. Beacons are placed or checked.
03
Plan preparation
Survey plans, coordinates and supporting documents are prepared to registry standards.
04
Handover and registry support
Plans are handed over with the documentation needed for title processing, subdivision approval or legal proceedings.

Where it's needed

Almost every land transaction, dispute or development starts here.

Land transactions and title processing

Buying, selling, transferring or mortgaging land — the registry needs a current survey plan.

Subdivision and development

Breaking a parcel into plots for sale or development, with layouts that meet county planning requirements.

Boundary disputes and litigation

Independent, documented boundary evidence for mediation, court or county dispute resolution.

Lines that hold up

A boundary survey is only as good as the control behind it and the documentation around it. We deliver both — so the plan doesn't come back for questions.

Boundary & cadastral survey — common questions

Quick answers to the things landowners, lawyers and developers usually ask.

What's the difference between a boundary survey and a topographical survey?

A boundary survey establishes or verifies the legal limits of a parcel — beacon positions, boundary lines, areas — for registry, title or legal purposes. A topographical survey maps the physical features and terrain within and around a site for design and engineering. Many projects need both; we often run them together.

Do you place physical beacons?

Yes. We establish concrete or iron-pin beacons at boundary corners as required. Existing beacons are checked and referenced. If beacons are missing or disturbed, we re-establish them from the control network and registry records.

Can you help with subdivision approval?

Yes. We prepare the subdivision layout, parcel schedules, survey plans and the supporting documentation needed for county planning and land registry approval.

How long does a boundary survey take?

A single urban plot is typically completed in one to two days of fieldwork, with plans delivered within a week. Multi-parcel subdivisions and estates take longer depending on parcel count, access and registry records. We scope the timeline before starting.
