Balady Survey Decision (Survey Report) Through a Licensed Partner Office
The survey decision (also called the survey report) is the first step in many building transactions in the Kingdom, such as building and fencing permits. It is requested online through the Balady platform and can only be issued by an accredited, survey-classified engineering office inside the Kingdom. That is why EL EMAN offers this service through a licensed partner engineering office in Saudi Arabia, handling coordination and preparation with you from the start until the decision is issued.
How it works
We explain the steps and prepare the requirements with you; the licensed partner office carries out the field survey and issues the report through Balady.
- You send the property details, location and transaction type
- We review the documents and tell you what is needed before starting
- You authorise the partner engineering office from your Balady account
- The partner office surveys the site and issues the survey report
Usual documents
Requirements vary by transaction and municipality, but usually include:
- The title deed or ownership document
- The owner’s ID or power of attorney
- The plot location on a map
- The plan and plot number, if available
Good to know
According to Balady, a survey decision is valid for 3 years, after which a new one can be requested for the same purpose. The report shows the area both on the ground and according to the ownership document. If the deed area differs from the ground, there are procedures to resolve it, which we explain for your case.
