Where Cadastral Survey Matter
Architects
Architectural drawings should accurately reflect both legal property boundaries and local authority mandated setbacks i.e. the minimum distance a structure must be placed from a property line, road, or, or other defined boundary. These regulations ensure fire safety, privacy, and proper access to utilities.
Cadastral Survey Services are crucial is architectural designs in the following areas.
- Designing to setback or zero-lot lines
- Resolving boundary and fence alignments
- Working on heritage or irregular sites
Legal Boundary Requirements
Parcel Legal boundaries are accurately fixed by beacons as defined by survey plans for fixed boundary survey and achieved through demarcations reflected in the Registry Index Maps(RIMs) for general boundaries.
An Architect’s site plans must display the boundary lines, dimensions, easements, and their relationship to existing/proposed structures.
Setbacks in Architectural Drawings
Setbacks are regulated by local zoning/building codes and vary from city to local authority regulations. Site plans must indicate proper setback measurements for roadside, rear/sides from property lines, road reserves.
Cadastral surveys at project inception phase empower Architects to achieve centimetre-accuracy data to design responsibly and avoid post construction boundary and legal disputes.
