We're a general service land surveying practice who focus on providing fast service without compromising quality. Having been established over 70 years ago and being one of the larger professional survey firms in the Western Cape, FBV is ideally positioned to attend to any survey request. Whether you're building a garden wall; a new house; starting a residential development; subdividing property; creating a sectional title scheme for apartments, offices or commercial space; redeveloping inner city spaces; struggling to get control of your facilities data; or applying for mining or petroleum rights we can assist you.

We specialise in detailed property boundary mapping, as well as custom mapping of farm land, urban areas and natural resources - any mapping.

Using a DGPS in WGS84 format all features, structures and improvements within borderlines and above ground are surveyed and plotted. Features and structures include windmills, water-taps, pumps, troughs, corrals, gates etc. We make use of the National Geo-Spatial Information database supplied by the Rural Development & Land Reform to accurately reflect land gradient. Perennial water and dam-lines are similarly determined and reflected. Various soil types and variety produce that can be grown have unique nutrient needs and therefore require different management techniques when it comes to fertilizing. Years of continuous fertilizing without monitoring the soil composition to identify the deficiencies and surpluses can lead to imbalances of soil elements and have an influence on harvests yielded. The goal, therefore, is to identify and analyse the different soil elements and make the necessary allowances in order to effectively manage soil preparation for optimum production.
