Topographic Survey in Quezon City
Elevations, contours, and existing features for design and permits.
What is a topographic survey?
A topographic survey maps the shape of the land: elevations, contours, slopes, existing structures, trees, drainage lines, roads, and visible utilities. Architects and engineers use it to design buildings, drainage, driveways, and retaining walls.
It does not by itself fix legal boundaries. Many clients combine it with a relocation survey.
