Surveying of plans

What it is and why it is important

A survey is the technical process of measuring and providing a detailed graphic representation of a property or piece of land, with the aim of obtaining an accurate representation of its current state. This service is essential for carrying out renovation, rehabilitation, expansion projects or for processing various urban planning licenses. The plans generated from a survey of this type are essential for making informed decisions about the use and intervention in the property.

Contents of the Plan Survey

The survey includes a detailed graphic representation of the physical characteristics of the property or land, and may cover the following aspects:

Building floor plan: Detailed representation of the dimensions, distribution of spaces, location of doors, windows and other key construction elements.
Elevations and facades: Drawings that show the exterior view of the building, with the proportions and details of the facades and their construction elements.
Section of the building: A cross section is made to represent the heights, distribution of floors and structural characteristics.

Facilities: In some cases, plans include the location of the building’s facilities, such as plumbing, electricity, heating, gas, etc.
Construction details: More precise graphic representations of specific aspects of the property, such as foundations, finishes, windows, roofs, and other construction elements.
Topography: In the case of land, the survey will include details about the topography, such as slopes, boundaries, access areas, etc.

When is it necessary to carry out a Plan Survey?

A survey is required in various cases:

Rehabilitation or renovation projects: To have an accurate database on the current state of the building and to be able to carry out an intervention that respects the existing conditions.
Extensions or modifications: If you want to extend a property or modify its layout, it is essential to have updated plans that serve as a basis for the project.
Change of use: In situations where you want to change the use of a building (for example, from housing to commercial premises), it is necessary to have a survey of plans that complies with regulations.

Management of licenses and permits: In many cases, urban planning authorities require updated plans for processing building permits, use permits or authorizations for any intervention in the property.
Buying or selling property: When purchasing or selling a property, having an updated survey of plans helps to know the layout and condition of the property.
Technical inspections and appraisals: For the correct evaluation of a property, whether for inspection or appraisal, having detailed plans is essential.

Benefits of having a Floor Plan Survey

Accuracy in design: Having up-to-date plans ensures that renovation or rehabilitation projects are carried out on a solid and accurate basis, reducing errors and optimising the use of space.
Compliance with regulations: Facilitates compliance with urban planning and construction regulations, as it provides the necessary information to comply with licensing and permit requirements.
Improved planning of works: Allows for more effective planning of interventions, as the plans allow the exact dimensions and characteristics of the property to be known.

Resource optimization: Drawing up plans helps to detect possible distribution or construction problems, which allows for optimizing resources and reducing costs during renovations or rehabilitations.
Property valuation: Having a detailed plan of the property makes it easier to value, whether for sale, purchase or appraisal, as it offers a clear view of the building’s layout and characteristics.

Preparation of the Survey of Plans

The plan-raising process is carried out in several phases:

Technical visit to the property or land: A specialized technician carries out a detailed inspection of the property or land to obtain the measurements and characteristics of each element.
Taking measurements and data: During the visit, the exact measurements of each structural component of the property or land are taken, such as walls, heights, windows, doors, among others.

Graphical representation: With the data obtained, the plans are drawn up using design software tools (such as AutoCAD or other modeling programs).
Delivery of plans: Once the survey is completed, the plans are delivered to the client in the required format, which may include 2D, 3D plans or digital files depending on the needs of the project.
