A map is the basic product resulting from the work carried out by a surveyor. A map can be used to visualize one specific phenomenon or several phenomena that are interrelated. A map can also be a generalization of the location of objects in space, and it can be an essential element in the implementation of projects that require notification of work or obtaining a building permit. A properly edited map is provided to the investor at each stage of the investment’s “life cycle.”
Types of maps in surveying:
1. Map for design purposes
Maps for design purposes are an essential element in the preparation of design documentation. It is based on materials: made available from the ODGiK (Land and Geodesy Office) resources and the results of surveying measurements; planning studies, other documents or information concerning a given area;
2. Geodetic as-built survey map
After the investment has been completed and the construction project has been implemented, in order to obtain a use permit, it is necessary to submit documentation for obtaining a use permit, an integral part of which is a map from the geodetic as-built survey. Such a map contains everything that was already part of the map and has not been changed or destroyed/removed during the works, as well as all new and modified objects.
3. Maps for legal purposes:
Maps for legal purposes are prepared for the purposes of property division, typical court and administrative proceedings. They are divided into:
maps with a property division plan
maps with a property consolidation and division plan
maps with an agricultural or forest property division plan;
maps with a land consolidation plan,
maps with a land exchange plan,
classification maps,
maps for adverse possession (maps of land covered by an application for confirmation of acquisition
of ownership rights as a result of adverse possession);
maps for establishing land easements,
other geodetic studies for legal purposes;
Maps for legal purposes are drawn up on a scale appropriate to the size of the study, ensuring the legibility of the map drawing – not less than 1:5000.
What does a well-designed map offer in the surveying industry – examples
Precise and professional map design, e.g. for design purposes, is of great importance for the implementation of investments based on it. If we provide the contractor with a map that is not fully consistent with the actual state of affairs, this may have legal consequences or, at the very least, result in significant delays and/or financial losses. In such a case, the map must be redrawn, which exposes us to increased costs and significant delays.
Take, for example, the work we did for one of our clients who were designing their project on a plot of land with undefined boundaries. Based on the analysis, measurements, and boundary determination activities carried out, we were able to move the boundary by 25 meters at the extreme and by an average of about 10 meters in favor of the investment. This translated into a larger area that the design team could develop for the project.
At ma.concept, in order to meet the requirements of all our clients, we prepare all types of geodetic maps.
