With the help of Miguel Guimarães, we have prepared an article with some questions and answers about the use of surveying in condominiums:
Question 1: How can issues related to land areas be resolved, whether for calculating percentage shares or for updating/correcting the registered areas of each parcel?
A: Through topographic surveys conducted by certified technicians, accompanied by a report that includes site plans.
Question 2: When structural defects appear in a building, how should the situation be assessed, its progression monitored, and its correction tracked?
A: Throughtopographic surveys conducted by certified technicians to create a “snapshot” of the current situation—which will serve as the starting point for engineers to design solutions—and through monitoring to track the implementation of those solutions.

Question 3: When it comes to repairing facades, how should the necessary corrections be measured and designed?
A: Through architectural surveys of the facade, in which the identified issues are georeferenced, it is also possible to accurately measure the quantities of the various materials to be used, and the resulting floor plan will enable the architectural team to design the proposed changes.

Question 4: What if the co-owners want to renovate their unit?
A:Laser-scanning surveys of the interiors of residential units for remodeling or interior design projects. The survey will serve as a baseline of the existing conditions for the architect or interior designer to develop their project.
Laser scanning technology enables the capture of every existing detail and its representation, whether as an image or a point cloud, contributing to the development of the project with greater precision and detail. Whether for structural, architectural, or decorative projects.
