Surveying and Contracting for Projects in Fayoum
Fayoum is a natural depression whose land falls gradually towards Lake Qarun, with farmland terraced along canals and Bahr Youssef. That makes levelling and irrigation levels more important than almost anywhere else, and desert land on the edges is turning into projects.
What we most often do here
- Levelling terraced land for irrigation planning
- Farmland boundary surveys and subdivision
- Desert-edge land surveys before building
- Surveys and setting out near Lake Qarun
Technical note
Fayoum lies in UTM zone 36 شمال (وأطرافها الغربية قرب حد المنطقة 35) and in the 36N (its western edge is near the zone 35 boundary) of the Egyptian grid. We agree the coordinate system of the deliverables at the start so the plans match what the authority requires.

Services available in Fayoum
- Certified land survey: A certified survey measures a plot or building on site and produces a drawing of its boundaries, lengths, area and coordinates, in a form accepted by the body you will submit it to: the real-estate registry, the district office, the permit authority, or a court in a boundary dispute.
- Topographic surveying: A topographic survey turns a site into a map of the ground shape, its levels and everything visible on it, such as roads, buildings and utilities.
- Setting out: A small setting-out error can put a column in the wrong place and lead to demolition and rework.
- Grid levelling: Grid levelling measures ground levels on a regular grid, showing where the land is high or low and how much cut or fill is needed to reach the design level.
- Quantity surveying: A quantity take-off answers a simple question: what will be built, and how much of it? A clear table helps owners compare bids, helps contractors price and track work, and bases payment reviews on measurement instead of estimates..
- As-built surveys: Many existing buildings have no drawings, or drawings that differ from what was built.
- Land and boundary surveys: Before buying, dividing or building on land, you need to know its corners and real area on the ground.

FAQ
Why is levelling so important in Fayoum?
The land falls towards Lake Qarun and irrigation depends on gradients, so knowing levels prevents water and grading problems.
Do you survey land in Youssef El Seddik and the edges?
Yes, once we know the site, area and type of work.
