2. QUICK OVERVIEW
LAND SURVEYING
Philsurv Geodetic-Services recognizes the different uses of land surveys for the purpose of real estate management and engineering/architectural design. Our
surveys will provide cost effective and informative survey plans. Our products are designed to inform clients of possible boundary disputes, encroachments, errors
in technical descriptions, exact location of the land on the ground as per title and other land issues that need to be considered in land development. Our
engineering survey plans are designed to inform engineers and architects of the actual conditions on a construction site. These survey plans are made with close
coordination with the engineers and architects as to provide accurate information for their design requirements. It is our continuous goal to improve and revise
our systems to provide information that may be of use not just for the current issues but for the future issues that our clients may come across.

Description
The client had a large property and the locals were occupying the
land. They had us relocate the property with their titles, use the
drone to take aerial photos and establish control points. Based on
the aerial images, we were able to measure the existing structures.
At the same time, we were able to get elevations of the site for his
future land development.

base map. This is useful for lease area computation, structure
layout design, landscape plan or other land uses.
Description
The client wanted to expand their campus to open areas.
PhilSurv conducted an as-built and topographic survey. For better
representation of the area, a satellite image of the area concerned
was geo-referenced and made as the backdrop of the topographic
and as-built plan. Philsurv also made a slope analysis with 3D
perspective based on the land elevation data.
The client was able to give a basis for the architects of Joseph
Server and Associates for future development on the open space.
With the plans given, planning the drainage system and building
lay-out made the architect’s work accurate and faster.
