Frequently Asked Questions

Why do you need a survey plan?

⁠Is your survey work recognized and registered with SURCON?

Yes. All our surveys are carried out and certified by registered surveyors in full compliance with SURCON (Surveyors Council of Nigeria) standards, so your survey plan is legally valid for land transactions, Governor’s Consent applications, and other regulatory processes.

Do you handle Governor’s Consent and other regulatory documentation?

Yes. Given our deep familiarity with the Land Use Act, Governor’s Consent processes, and overlapping regulatory bodies (SURCON, NIWA, NIMASA), we can guide clients through the documentation needed alongside the survey itself, reducing back-and-forth with government offices.

What documents or information do I need to provide before the survey?

Typically we’ll need proof of ownership or allocation (e.g., a Deed of Assignment, Allocation Letter, or previous survey plan if one exists), the property address or coordinates, and access arrangements for the site. If there’s an existing dispute or unclear boundary, any related documentation helps us plan the survey more ...

Do you only work in Lagos, or can you handle projects in other states?

While we’re based in Lagos, our surveying and geospatial services extend beyond it, including drone and bathymetric work that can be deployed wherever the project requires, subject to site access and regulatory clearance in that state.

What types of surveys does CBO Geospatial handle?

We provide land surveying, GIS mapping, drone (UAV) surveys, and bathymetric (underwater/waterway) surveys, covering everything from residential plot verification to large-scale topographic and coastal/marine mapping for developers, government agencies, and private clients.

How long does a typical survey take, and what affects the timeline?

Turnaround depends on the project; a standard land survey may take a few days, while drone or bathymetric surveys on larger sites can take longer due to site access, weather, and data processing. We give a clear timeline estimate after an initial site assessment.

What makes drone surveying different from traditional survey methods?

Drone surveys (like our DJI M400 operations) capture large areas quickly and with high precision, making them useful for site planning, progress monitoring, and terrain mapping, while traditional ground survey methods remain essential for boundary verification and legal plan certification. We often combine both for the most accurate and cost-effective ...

How much does a survey cost, and what determines the price?

Cost varies based on the type of survey (land, drone, GIS, or bathymetric), the size and location of the site, terrain complexity, and how urgently the work is needed. We provide a clear quote after an initial site or project assessment, so there are no surprises.

⁠How can I verify that a survey plan is genuine and properly registered?

A legitimate survey plan carries the registered surveyor’s official seal/stamp and reference number, which can be verified through SURCON’s records. We’re happy to walk clients through this verification process, and all plans we issue are fully traceable and SURCON-compliant.
