Client FAQ: questions we get asked before every project
Every new client conversation tends to circle around the same handful of questions, so here are honest answers to the ones we hear most often.
How long does a survey actually take?
It depends on the service and site size, a straightforward cadastral survey on a standard plot can be completed in a day or two, while larger topographic, control extension, or Scan-to-BIM projects can run from several days to a few weeks depending on scope and site conditions.
Do I need to be present during the survey?
Not for most of the fieldwork itself, but we do recommend being available at the start to confirm boundaries, access points, and any site-specific concerns, and again at handover to walk through the deliverable together.
What do I actually receive at the end?
This depends on the service, a signed survey plan and coordinate schedule for cadastral and control work, contour maps and DTMs for topographic surveys, or a processed BIM model for Scan-to-BIM projects. We always clarify deliverable format before starting, not after.
Can you work on an already-developed site?
Yes, this is common for renovation, retrofit, and dispute resolution work, where an accurate as-built survey often reveals discrepancies from the original design or title documents.
What happens if a boundary dispute comes up during the survey?
We document what we find objectively and reference it against existing title and control data. We don’t take sides in a dispute, our role is to provide accurate, defensible data that helps resolve it.
Do you provide services outside Lagos and Ogun State?
Yes, we take on projects across Nigeria depending on scope and site accessibility.
If you have a question that isn’t listed here, ask us directly, we’d rather answer it clearly upfront than have it become a surprise mid-project.
