Surveying and Contracting in North Sinai and El Arish
North Sinai has a long Mediterranean coast from Bir El Abd to El Arish, sandy land and dunes, and development and farming projects. Sand moves, so surveys should be refreshed close to construction, and work in the governorate follows the permits and instructions of the competent authorities.
What we most often do here
- Topographic surveys of sandy land and dunes
- Farm and development land boundary surveys
- Surveys and setting out for housing and services
- Cut and fill on sandy sites
Technical note
North Sinai lies in UTM zone 36 شمال and in the 36N of the Egyptian grid. We agree the coordinate system of the deliverables at the start so the plans match what the authority requires.
How we work on projects outside Alexandria
- You send the location, the type of work and any drawings or documents you have.
- We define the scope, deliverables and number of site visits before travelling.
- 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 North Sinai
- 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
Do you work in North Sinai?
We assess each request by location, type of work and required permits, and reply clearly on whether and how we can carry it out.
Why refresh surveys on sandy land?
Sand moves and the surface changes, so old levels may not match the site at construction time.
