Building measurement; implementation

The Offices for Digitization, Broadband and Surveying are legally obliged to document the current building stock in the real estate cadastre. A map of the property boundaries without buildings on it would also only be of limited use.

In addition to the plots of land, the real estate cadastre also records the building stock. The buildings are shown and described in the official real estate cadastre information system (ALKIS).

The recording of buildings in the real estate cadastre is a valuable contribution by the Offices for Digitization, Broadband and Surveying to securing ownership (and therefore legal certainty) and for planning by public or private bodies.

The Offices for Digitization, Broadband and Surveying record all changes to existing buildings (e.g. new buildings, demolitions, extensions, changes in use) as quickly as possible. This includes the floor plan as well as building heights and roof shapes. The measurement of buildings is a statutory task and is therefore carried out ex officio without an application. The Surveying and Cadastre Act obliges building owners to bear the costs of surveying and cadastral treatment of building changes.

If you have commissioned a surveyor for surveying in construction to supervise your building project or if you intend to do so, the surveyor can also carry out the building survey under certain conditions. For further information, please contact your local Office for Digitization, Broadband and Surveying.
