Surveying and Contracting for Projects in Minya
Minya is a long governorate along the Nile, with a narrow strip of farmland between two deserts. Growth happens on the desert edge west of the valley and in New Minya east of the Nile, with strong demand for reclamation surveys and dividing farmland between heirs.
What we most often do here
- Reclamation land surveys on the desert edge
- Farmland surveys and subdivision
- Surveys and setting out in New Minya
- Survey sketches for building and registration
Technical note
Minya lies in UTM zone 36 شمال (والأجزاء الصحراوية الغربية البعيدة في المنطقة 35) and in the 36N (the far western desert parts are in zone 35) of the Egyptian grid. We agree the coordinate system of the deliverables at the start so the plans match what the authority requires.

- The written quote covers site work, office work and travel arrangements.
- We deliver the files digitally and go through them with you after delivery.
Services available in Minya
- 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
Minya is far from Alexandria. Do you work there?
We accept work once scope is agreed and set out travel and accommodation in the quote. Large or grouped work in one visit is more economical.
Do you survey large reclamation areas?
Yes, with RTK GNSS, delivering boundaries, area and levels.
