Surveyors work best with complete reference material. Arriving prepared reduces repeat visits, errors and cost.

Bring the ownership records

The latest RTC, the registered deed and mutation extracts confirm who owns the parcel and its recorded extent.

Bring the geometry

The Tippani, Akarbandh and any earlier sketches let the surveyor align the ground measurement with official records and neighbours.
