BOUNDARY & PLANNING CHECKS

A clearer comparison.
Before you commit.

Optional checks that connect the physical property with the records behind it, using 3D spatial capture, photographs and document comparison.

01 / BOUNDARY CHECK

The site on the ground.
The boundary on the map.

Our Boundary Check uses 3D spatial capture, generated with mobile LiDAR scanning technology, to document the site’s dimensions and visible physical features.

We compare those on-site measurements with the relevant registered boundary mapping and OSi mapping supplied for the property, looking for discrepancies that need attention.

A measured comparison

This check identifies apparent discrepancies. It does not determine legal ownership or resolve a boundary dispute. Findings depend on site access, capture conditions and the accuracy and scale of the mapping available.

FROM OUR WORK

See the comparison.
Understand the difference.

Examples from previous Boundary Checks show how site measurements and registered mapping are brought together, with apparent differences clearly marked.

EXAMPLE 01 / SOUTH DUBLIN

Site boundaries compared.

Registered and on-site boundaries shown together, with dimensions and a hatched area highlighting an apparent discrepancy.

EXAMPLE 02 / NORTH DUBLIN

Differences made visible.

Colour-coded areas show differences between the site and registered mapping, alongside an access route marked for review.

Each sheet has its own legend. These examples show how findings are presented; the scope and findings of your check will depend on the property.

02 / PLANNING CHECK

The drawings on file.
The building in front of you.

We scan the site and take photographs to record the building and works as they exist at the time of inspection.

We then compare that record directly with the relevant planning drawings to check for apparent differences between what was approved and what is on site.

A compact report setting out the works reviewed, how they compare with the planning drawings and any points that need clarification.

Record. Review. Understand. Report.

  1. Record existing conditionsRecord the accessible property and existing works using site scanning and photographs.
  2. Review the drawingsCompare that site record with the relevant approved planning drawings supplied or agreed for review.
  3. Clarify the findingsIdentify works that appear consistent with the drawings and highlight apparent differences that may need further investigation or clarification.
  4. Bring it together in a reportReceive a compact report summarising the property and works reviewed, highlighting those that appear compliant with the drawings, any apparent discrepancies and recommendations for following them up.
What the Planning Check covers

The review covers the drawings and works agreed in your instruction. A drawing comparison alone does not establish compliance with every planning condition, building regulation or legal requirement. Any formal certification is separately scoped.
