Surveying and Contracting in Port Said and Port Fouad
Port Said is a coastal city at the entrance of the Suez Canal, with historic buildings, new housing projects and an industrial and logistics zone in East Port Said. The land is low and close to the water, so levels and a fixed benchmark underpin all work.
What we most often do here
- Existing and historic building surveys
- Surveys and setting out for new housing
- Surveys and setting out in East Port Said
- Quantity take-off and work review
Technical note
Port Said 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.

Services available in Port Said
- 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 Port Said though you are in Alexandria?
Yes, after agreeing the type and duration of work; travel arrangements are set out in the quote.
Why do levels matter in Port Said?
The land is low and close to sea level, so any level error affects drainage and ground-floor level.
