Topography and land registry

Parcelling

Parcelling involves division of agricultural land or building plots for subsequent signing of sales deeds or transfer of ownership in general. The operation is performed through surveying of the reference points using GPS or total station instrumentation, drafting of reports and electronic sending to the Italian Inland Revenue Office (Agenzia delle Entrate) for final approval.

Updates of the cadastral map following the modification of a building

Following the construction or alteration of the profile of a building, land registry regulations require the land registry map to be updated with data collected at the site. This phase, too, requires an on-site survey (usually using total station or GPS), drafting of reports and electronic sending to the Italian Inland Revenue Office (Agenzia delle Entrate).

Updates of the building cadastre

The building cadastre, like the land cadastre, requires the updating of floor plans filed in the database both in the case of a newly constructed property and when changes are made to its internal layout. Every modification authorized by the relevant municipality must be followed by an update of the cadastral floor plan.

Crop variations

Crop variations involve updating the crops present on agricultural land. This activity is very important in the case of buying or selling property, as the type of crop affects taxation during the deed of sale, as well as the payment of property taxes.

Land registry transfers

Land registry transfers (volture catastali) consist in updating the land registry ownership data on properties. They are drafted by a notary (notaio) in the event of a sale, but may also be drafted in the event of a Declaration of Succession (Dichiarazione di Successione), Cancellation of Usufruct (Riunione di Usufrutto) or simply for correction of errors in the database.

Surveys with total station and gps

Our surveys are conducted using total station and GPS instrumentation. This enables us to work in both small and extremely large areas with maximum precision.
These on-site surveys are then written up in the office with the option of providing the client with a hard copy or a two or three-dimensional vector file and even superimposing the survey plan onto Google maps.

Boundaries reestablishment

The boundaries reestablishment involves retracing the original boundary marking, which consists of representing property boundaries on paper based on what is present on the land.
The boundary surveyor’s task is to perform the reverse process by marking on-site what is represented on paper, using floor plans, cadastral maps, and any other elements useful to accurately identify the correct boundary positions.

Survey of wooded areas

The topographic equipment used by the studio enables surveying in forested areas, which are notoriously difficult for GPS signal reception.
The accuracy achieved in such surveys is comparable to that obtained in urbanized areas.
