Boundary setting-out in Varna

What boundary setting-out is

Setting-out is the reverse of surveying. We take the coordinates of the plot's boundary points from the cadastral map and find them on the ground with GPS or a total station. Each point is marked with a stake.

You don't need to prepare stakes: we bring our own, 40 cm tall and marked with red spray paint. The boundary is then easy to see and can be used for a fence, a building or a conversation with your neighbour.

When you need it

• You are building a fence and want it exactly on the boundary.
• You suspect your neighbour has encroached on your plot, or the other way round.
• You are buying a plot and want to see on site exactly what you are buying.
• You are starting construction and need to know where the regulation or building line runs (see construction surveying).
• The old boundary markers have disappeared.

Documents required

• proof of ownership;
• a sketch of the property.

If you don't have a sketch, we can tell you how to order one or obtain it as part of the service.

What you receive

• boundary points marked on site;
• an on-site explanation of which point is where and how the boundary runs;
• if the fence and the cadastral map differ: clear information about the difference and your options, including a cadastral map amendment project.

How to prepare

Send us a copy of the proof of ownership and the sketch in advance, so we can check the coordinates before the visit. If the plot is overgrown, clear access to its corners as far as possible. If you suspect a dispute with a neighbour, it is a good idea to notify them and have them present: the boundary is then shown to both sides at once and misunderstandings are avoided.
