You need to engage a private Registered Surveyor to carry out a cadastral survey of your property. For a list of the private registered surveyors, please visit the website of the Land Surveyors Board at http://www.gov.sg/minlaw/lsb.html. The Registered Surveyor has to submit the completed survey to the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) for approval by the Chief Surveyor. For subdivision of your land, the Registered Surveyor or developer needs to seek prior approval from the Planning Department, URA.

The amount of survey fee payable to the Chief Surveyor is governed by the Boundary and Survey Maps (Singapore Land Authority Fees) Rules. Your registered surveyor will be able to advise you on this as the fee depends on the size of the land parcel.

The service standard for the Chief Surveyor to approve the survey plans are:
- For processing RT job - Within 7 working days
- For processing CPST job - Within 10 working days
- For processing CP job - Within 14 working days
- For issuing new lot numbers - Next working day
The time frame for the above service levels does not include any period of time for the following situation:
- The query period from the date the Chief Surveyor notifies the Registered Surveyor of any query to attend to the date the Registered Surveyor returns the job upon attending to the query.
- All Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.
- Any period for which consultations are made with other parties to resolve any issue.
These periods, where applicable, are taken as stoppage time to offset such periods from the time frame of the service level.

Under the Boundaries and Survey Maps Act, every land owner should preserve the boundary marks erected on the boundaries of their land. If he is aware of any mark being destroyed or removed, he should inform the Chief Surveyor. The Chief Surveyor may direct the boundary mark to be restored. If the person who destroyed or removed the boundary mark cannot be found, the cost is to be paid by the owners of the adjacent lands as determined by the Chief Surveyor.

The area of the strata unit is calculated from the middle of the structural walls. Furthermore, internal ducts are common property which should be deducted from your measured area. Hence, measuring from the internal walls would give you an area that is different from the official area. You need to look at the Certified Plan to know what is included and excluded in the official area.

Shorelines, including sides of tidal rivers, are known as natural feature boundaries when they form the boundaries of land parcels. In the context of Survey Department's practice, these boundaries are defined by the 2.515m High Water Mark (HWM) abouve the Admiralty Chart Datum. The reduced level of the 2.515m HWM is 0.960m above Mean Sea Level which is the Survey Department's precise levelling datum. By definition, "land" is from and above the 2.515m HWM while "foreshore" or "seabed" is below this line.

One of the main reasons for implementing the coordinated cadastre is the utilisation of GPS. However, with the main supporting infrastructure being ISN, surveying can continue even without the use of GPS.

Your boundaries will remain as they are on the ground. However, coordinates of boundary marks would have changed under the new system.

One point is unique unless referred to different datums or projections.

Different countries are using their own system, but for most of the countries implementing a new system, they share one common point in that their coordinate system is also GPS enabled by referring to a geocentric datum.

Our system is somewhat similar to other countries in using the WGS84 spheroid that could reference positions using GPS surveying.

SIMRSN is a research collaboration between SLA (Singapore Land Authority), NTU (Nanyang Technological University) and UNSW (University of New South Wales).

SIMRSN could support surveying activities to make surveying more accurate using Differential GPS techniques. This could potentially enable GPS surveying to be conducted in Real-Time.

Although GPS surveying provide information regarding heights (ellipsoidal height), the official height recognition in Singapore is through levelling from benchmarks. However, it is possible for heights to be obtained using GPS surveying from a geoid model for Singapore.
