Cadastral lifting-comprehensive guide to the cadastral lifting service and its importance in real estate and engineering projects (with the services of Abak office)

Cadastral lifting is an essential step in any engineering or real estate project, it is the basis on which everything is built later from Plans, Designs and obtaining building permits. With the expansion of urban projects in Saudi Arabia, the need for reliable engineering offices specializing in Cadastral lifting has become an absolute necessity.

Abak engineering consultancy stands out as one of the leading offices providing accurate and certified surveying lifting services in Riyadh, with providing comprehensive engineering reports that meet government requirements and ensure the highest accuracy.

In this comprehensive guide, you will learn about the concept of cadastral lifting, its types, importance, implementation steps, devices used, as well as the role of your father's office in providing this service with high efficiency.

Quick points about Cadastral lifting

Cadastral lifting is the accurate determination of the boundaries of the land, its area and coordinates.

It is a prerequisite for obtaining building permits and updating sukuk data.

Your father's office provides accurate spatial lifting according to approved standards.

It is carried out using modern devices such as GPS, the Total Station and drones.

The service protects against conflicts and reveals space differences.

It is necessary before buying and selling, and during construction, and when drawing up schemes.

What is Cadastral lifting

Cadastral lifting is an engineering process to accurately measure the Earth by determining:

Limits of its ownership

Its natural and industrial features

Elevations and attribution

Coordinates and reference points

This is done using advanced Cadastral techniques, and then the measurements are converted into an official Cadastral plan that can be submitted to government agencies or used in engineering design.

The APAC office offers a certified Cadastral lifting service that complies with the requirements of secretariats and municipalities, which makes it a reliable option for landowners and real estate developers.

The importance of cadastral lifting in engineering projects

Cadastral lifting is of great importance, and its most prominent benefits include:

1. Ensuring the correctness of the land area

Cadastral lifting helps to determine the exact area, which prevents errors during the sale or purchase of land.

2. Determination of official boundaries

5. Reduce operational risk

Correct lifting prevents construction problems such as:

Exceeding the neighbor's limits

Implementation of foundations in the wrong locations

Differences in attribution affect the quality of the building
