01 · Survey scope
Ask which survey answers which question.
Legal or cadastral work addresses recorded boundaries and survey information. A design topographic survey records usable boundaries, road crown, site and adjacent levels, drain inverts, trees, structures, poles, chambers and a stable benchmark. Utility detection, geotechnical investigation and renovation measurement are separate scopes.
- Legal boundary and revenue records
- Topographic levels and physical features
- Visible, recorded and detected utilities
- Soil and groundwater sampling
- Existing-building geometry and accessible services
02 · Limits
Write what the information cannot show.
A compound wall may not be the legal boundary. A revenue sketch may not contain design levels. Utility detection cannot guarantee that every buried line is found. Boreholes represent sampled locations. A measured survey cannot see through every closed wall or floor.
- Survey date and coordinate or benchmark basis
- Client-supplied legal boundary
- Access and obstruction limits
- Detection method and confidence
- Assumptions requiring trial pits or opening-up
03 · Water and sewer
Check the receiving network before fixing levels.
Confirm BWSSB network availability and the likely connection point before freezing sump, pump room, sanitary outlet or inspection chambers. The current BWSSB service page lists application documents and may route work through a Board-licensed plumber. Requirements and published service targets must be rechecked at filing.
- Permanent and construction-water routes
- Meter, valve, sump and pump access
- Receiving sewer level and chamber
- Road-cutting and restoration
- Sanction, receipts and account records
04 · Electricity
Build the load schedule before the application.
List pumps, water heaters, cooking, air-conditioning, lift, EV charging, inverter, generator and solar before deciding the connection. Treat temporary construction power and the permanent supply as separate planned services. Use current BESCOM forms and a licensed electrical contractor.
- Connected and demand load schedule
- Sanctioned load and supply arrangement
- Meter and main-board location
- Cable entry and route
- Licence, test and energisation records
