Infill & densification
Existing services, neighbours, rights, levels and tight site logistics need a joined-up information base.
South African land intelligence
Measure the land. Understand the decision.
LandSight connects surveying, geospatial analysis and development advice so property teams can work from clearer evidence across complex sites and growing cities.

Service index / 01–06
From field evidence to development insight.
Services are scoped around purpose. A design base, boundary investigation, construction control and feasibility review are not interchangeable products, even when they concern the same property.
01 / SUR
Topographic surveys
Terrain, visible features, levels and project-specific detail for design and planning.
↗02 / CADBoundary & cadastral
Record review and coordination of statutory cadastral services with registered professionals.
↗03 / CONConstruction setting-out
Design information transferred to site with control, checks and issue records.
↗04 / GISGeospatial analysis
Spatial layers combined to test relationships, constraints, access and change.
↗05 / UASAerial mapping
Fit-for-purpose imagery and surface outputs through appropriately authorised operations.
↗06 / DEVDevelopment consulting
Early-stage land information organised around feasibility, risk and next specialist inputs.

A better brief
Accuracy only means something in context.
The required method depends on what the information will be used for, the site conditions, the coordinate reference, statutory requirements and the consequences of error.
- 01Define design, legal, construction or analytical purpose
- 02Confirm coordinate and vertical reference requirements
- 03Identify access, vegetation, traffic and safety constraints
- 04Agree feature detail, tolerances and exclusions
- 05Specify CAD, GIS, model, report and sign-off needs
Project sequence
Define before measuring.
The same site can support very different survey questions. We begin with the decision the information must support, then define method, control, format and responsibility.
01 / Brief
Frame the question
Site, purpose, authority, known records, programme and downstream users.
02 / Records
Review inputs
Title information, prior plans, coordinate systems and available base data.
03 / Capture
Measure the site
Agreed field or aerial methods, control checks and access constraints.
04 / Process
Build the dataset
Quality review, calculations, feature coding and fit-for-purpose modelling.
05 / Handover
Issue with context
Files, versions, limitations, coordinate reference and responsible sign-off.
South African project conditions
Land is never just a blank parcel.
Urban growth, infrastructure, title conditions, terrain, water, access and existing occupation can all shape what is possible and what must be investigated next.
Growth edges
Road access, terrain, drainage, service reach and land records become early feasibility questions.
Large land holdings
Scale, access, control, vegetation and limited existing information change capture strategy.
Linear corridors
Consistent reference systems, interfaces and data management matter across long project extents.
Active sites
Programme pressure does not remove the need for issue control, independent checks and revision clarity.
Multi-site decisions
Comparable spatial indicators can help prioritise due diligence before detailed site expenditure.
