Do you prepare UTM plans for single-sheet title deeds?
Yes. UTM plans for single-sheet deeds and land-registry enquiries are one of the core surveying services, for both urban and rural plots across the Sowme'eh Sara area.
How are fees set?
Each fee depends on the service, the size and condition of the land, the amount of work and the distance to the site. After a call with the details, a clear price is given before any work begins.
Land Surveying
What is a UTM plan and why is it needed for a single-sheet deed?
A UTM plan records the corners of a property in a global coordinate system. The land registry requires it to issue a single-sheet title deed and for many enquiries, because it defines the boundary uniquely and without ambiguity.
How much does a land survey cost?
The fee depends on the area, the shape of the plot, access, the type of plan required and the distance to the site. Call +98 911 882 5331 with the details for a clear quote.
Which documents are needed for a survey?
If available, a copy of the deed, the sale agreement or any earlier plan makes the work more precise. The owner or a representative should be on site on survey day to point out the boundaries.
Structural Supervision
What exactly does a structural supervisor do?
A structural supervisor checks that foundations, reinforcement, concrete and the frame are built according to the approved drawings and the National Building Regulations, and records the result of every stage.
At which stages should the supervisor be on site?
The key stages are setting out the grid, before the foundation pour, before every slab pour and the inspection of the frame and its connections. None of these can be checked after the fact.
Why does supervision matter more in Gilan?
Because of the seismic risk, the high groundwater table and the soft soils across much of the plain, foundation quality and reinforcement detailing play a decisive role in the safety and durability of a building.
Building Drawings
What is an as-built drawing and when is it needed?
An as-built drawing shows a building or plot exactly as it exists today. It is needed for a change of use, renovation, adding a floor, a sale and many official enquiries.
Why combine drafting with surveying?
Drawings based on an accurate survey carry the real dimensions, angles and distances, so problems such as encroaching on a setback or mismatched dimensions do not appear during construction.
Civil Engineering Consulting
What should be checked before buying land in a village?
The key points are whether the real boundaries match the deed, road access, whether the plot lies inside the village's Hadi (guiding development) plan, setbacks such as river and road buffers, and soil and groundwater conditions.
Who issues building permits in villages?
In villages with a dehyari (village administration), building permits are issued by the dehyari under the rules of the village Hadi plan, in cooperation with the Housing Foundation of the Islamic Revolution. The details depend on the plot and are reviewed during a consultation.
