Surveying and Contracting for Projects in Hurghada, El Gouna and Safaga
The Red Sea coast from Hurghada to Marsa Alam has hotels, resorts and housing between the sea and the mountains. Land falls from the mountains to the sea and has flash-flood channels that must be identified in the survey before design.
What we most often do here
- Topographic surveys between mountains and sea
- Identifying flood channels and drainage falls
- Hotel and resort surveys and setting out
- Quantity take-off and work review
Technical note
the Red Sea governorate lies in UTM zone 36 شمال (وأقصى الجنوب الشرقي في المنطقة 37) and in the 36N (the far south-east is in zone 37) 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 Red Sea and Hurghada
- 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 do flood channels matter in a survey?
Floods run from the mountains to the sea; a building designed in their path can be damaged. A topographic survey shows the routes and slopes.
Do you work in El Gouna and Sahl Hasheesh?
Yes, once we know the site and type of work, following project management rules.
