Why Choose TGCI for Your DPS:

Total Geomatics & Consulting Inc. (TGCI) provides DPS as an essential tool for architects and designers to develop accurate construction drawings and site plans. Our surveys deliver comprehensive exterior information about existing structures, adjacent buildings, and plot measurements.

​

DPS is crucial for ensuring proposed developments adhere to zoning and planning regulations. The insights gained from our surveys guide the overall design of your project, factoring in local context and specific site challenges.

Components of a TGCI DPS:

Our DPS includes:

• On-lot and neighbouring dwellings.

• Frontal and side views of surrounding structures.

• Tree locations and geodetic elevations.

• Street infrastructure details like gas lines, hydrants, and signage.

• Overall block schematics, aiding in informed planning and design.

When is DPS Needed?

Before seeking a municipal development permit, especially for infill constructions or major exterior renovations, a TGCI DPS conducted by a registered Alberta Land Surveyor is indispensable.

Renovation Considerations: DPS may be required for various renovations, including:

• Infill construction projects.

• Secondary suite additions.

• Front setback alterations.

• Front garage additions.

• Second story and other significant home modifications.

Ensuring Compliance:

Our surveys enable architects and city planners to confirm that your proposed changes meet all regulatory standards and guidelines.
