Reconstruction of buildings damaged by the earthquake

​​​The project included the renovation of buildings in the area of ​​the City of Zagreb, Krapina-Zagorje County, Zagreb County, Sisak-Moslavina County and Karlovac County. It included geodetic services for the preparation of geodetic situations of the actual state for design purposes (geodetic bases), geodetic studies for recording the actual position and for division or merger (parcelation), staking out building plots, staking out buildings, preparation of a statement by a certified geodetic engineer, geodetic studies for recording buildings.

In the public tender for geodetic services in May 2023, we were selected as the contractor by the investor, the Agency for Legal Transactions and Real Estate Brokerage (APN). The geodetic services included complete monitoring of the works from design (creation of a geodetic situational drawing of the actual state), construction (staking out the building) and recording the building in the cadastre and land registers (building registration).

APN is the investor in this proceeding who, on its own behalf and for the account of the Republic of Croatia, is carrying out the construction of multi-apartment buildings for temporary care in the municipal districts of Hrvatska Kostajnica, Kutina, Novi Sisak and Sisak Stari.

Within this contract for geodetic services, the construction of 35 buildings is foreseen, and the act on the basis of which they will be built is the Decision on the type project.

As part of this contract, we had the opportunity to work with all the construction contractors. Regardless of the standard projects, each of the contractors had different requirements in terms of staking out the building elements on the site. Therefore, good communication and good preparation before the site were two key things that we had to pay special attention to.

Given the short deadlines, it was crucial to go out into the field as soon as possible, preferably the next day after receiving the invitation, and then deliver the stakeout report that had to be on the construction site.

On most construction sites, we staked out on a drift scaffold using a total station, while some contractors requested stakeout without a drift scaffold. We made sure to measure the staked out elements, and the data was checked in the office, a field report was prepared, and a stakeout study was delivered. All stakeouts have been carried out correctly, precisely and accurately so far, and we have had to go out to some sites more than once because the stakeout marks were destroyed during construction or the construction contractor requested additional checks per floor.

FAQ

How much does a geodetic study cost?

A geodetic study is a document that is prepared for the purpose of implementing changes in the cadastre and land registers, and can have several purposes. Some of the purposes are: registration of a building, subdivision, change of culture, etc.

The price is defined depending on the purpose, location, size of the plot, compliance with the cadastre and land registry, etc.

When planning to request the services of a surveyor, the basic information you need to prepare is the cadastral plot number and the name of the cadastral municipality or the address of the building (if there is a building on the plot). Based on the information about the plot and the purpose of the study, the surveyor will be able to tell you what purpose the study you need is for and what the price of the service will be.

What documents are needed to create a geodetic study?

For the purposes of preparing the geodetic study, the party submits the title deed and the title deed extract or an extract from the land database (BZP). If there is an object on the plot, it is necessary to submit documentation about the construction of the object (building and use permit, decision on the completed condition, certificate of age before February 15, 1968, etc.).

Why are geodetic services crucial for complex construction projects?

Geodetic services enable precise determination of land boundaries, preparation of design bases, staking out of facilities and monitoring of work performance. Without proper geodetic preparation, it would not be possible to obtain a building permit or successfully implement a project.

What surveying services are required before construction begins?

Before construction, the following are most often required:
– Geodetic survey of the actual condition,
– Geodetic elaboration of subdivision (if new parcels are formed),
– Harmonization of cadastral and land registry status,
– Creation of geodetic base for design.

Who all participates in the geodetic part of a construction project?

Certified surveyors participate in the geodetic part of the project, collaborating with:
– investors,
– architects and designers,
– lawyers (for ownership issues),
– cadastral offices and – land registry departments,
– contractors and supervising engineers.

Why are large construction projects more geodetically complex?

Large projects cover large areas, often involve multiple cadastral parcels, complex ownership relationships, and the need to harmonize cadastral and land registry data. In addition, coordination between multiple stakeholders (investors, designers, lawyers, institutions) and working under tight deadlines are required.

How do surveyors help coordinate complex projects?

In addition to standard services (survey, foundation, staking), the following are often required:
– Mass subdivisions and preparation of studies for multiple plots,
– Data reconciliation between the cadastre and land registers,
– Staking out large systems of installations and roads,
– Professional geodetic supervision throughout the entire construction phase,
– Volumetric calculations (excavations, embankments),
– Detailed monitoring of deformations and displacements of objects.
