Merging land plots
Surveys for merging adjacent plots into one: defining the common outer boundary, area calculation, scheme and coordinate list.
Merging several adjacent plots into one is usually needed when a site is being prepared for a larger building, a commercial facility or an apartment block, or when an owner wants to manage separately purchased plots as one. After merger you have a single boundary, a single area and simpler paperwork.
From a surveying point of view, the main difficulty is that the documents of neighbouring plots may have been prepared in different years, in different coordinate systems and with different accuracy. That is why the actual boundaries of each plot are surveyed again, documented coordinates are brought into one system, and gaps or overlaps along the shared boundaries are identified.
As a result, the outer boundary of the merged plot, its corner coordinates and total area are calculated, and the share of each original plot is shown separately. Legal formalisation and registration of the merger are the responsibility of the competent government authority; we prepare the accurate survey materials and schemes needed for that process.
