Fencing your plot: why a boundary survey should come first
Clotoides helps you determine the boundary of your land so that you can fence your plot with the certainty of doing it precisely and respecting the property limits.
It is highly advisable to carry out a topographic survey before fencing a plot right on its boundary, since this type of work provides detailed information about the land and its layout.
How the boundary is measured
The topographic survey is carried out using specific instruments and techniques that make it possible to measure precisely the dimensions, heights and slopes of the land, as well as the exact location of the plot boundaries.
Avoiding disputes with neighbours
This information is fundamental to ensuring that the fence is built in the right place and respects the property boundaries, avoiding possible disputes with neighbours. The topographic survey will also reveal the characteristics of the land, which can be useful for deciding what type of fence to build and for planning the installation of gates or access points.
In summary
Although it is not compulsory, it is highly advisable to carry out a topographic survey before fencing a plot, especially if the fence is going to be built right on the boundary.
