Comprehensive plot survey for private housing in Moscow and Moscow Region

We recommend ordering all four surveys as a package because together they provide a complete picture of the plot and the baseline data needed for sound design decisions. You immediately understand what and where you are permitted to build, which soils and groundwater conditions will govern the foundation design, how the relief and existing features will affect the siting of the house, site layout and drainage, as well as the environmental condition of the soil, background radiation and radon exhalation.

This approach acts as a sound investment in a well-engineered design and future construction. Designers will account for actual site conditions in advance, select the right foundation, and justify the required quantities of concrete and reinforcement. This helps avoid excessive material margins, unnecessary engineering measures, and costly rework. The cost of the package can pay for itself many times over during design and construction: you are investing in decisions that save money.

Yes, these surveys should be carried out before designing the house. Survey findings provide essential baseline data for the architect, masterplanner and structural engineer — specialists need to work from the actual site conditions right from the outset.

An urban planning analysis, topographic plan and environmental check can all be carried out without a house design. For the geotechnical survey, we agree in advance the proposed position, footprint and number of storeys of the house, and clarify approximate structural loads. A completed design is not needed to start the surveys.

On a topographic plan, underground utilities are plotted from visible surface features and available record drawings. Full topographic surveys (TS) are a separate scope of work that includes official sign-off of utility networks with asset owners. The right format depends on your goal, your designer's requirements and site conditions.

Our reports and covering letters describe all completed work in detail, with findings and conclusions presented in clear, accessible language. We will not leave you to navigate the documentation alone and will gladly explain every figure and recommendation both to you and to your designers.

Our support for completed work has no time limit. You can call us and ask questions about the report materials even long after handover, when you move on to the design stage or actual construction.

For an urban planning analysis, only the plot's cadastral number is required. For the other surveys, we will clarify the plot's location, your objectives and the known parameters of your future house together to determine the exact scope and cost of the work.
