Topographic survey (contour plan)

A contour (topographic) survey with UTM coordinates, if the one from step 1.15 isn't detailed enough. The state land-use filing (step 4.10) won't be accepted without it.

Why it matters

The state dictamen, the SEMARNAT check (step 4.6) and the architect's plans all start from it.

Who helps

What to do: Order a contour survey with UTM coordinates.
