Why You Need Topography & Plans Before Building

No legal project in the Riviera Maya starts without a topographic survey and DRO-signed plans. Topography defines real levels, boundaries and soil type — key to designing the foundation on karst rock. Plans (architectural, structural and MEP) are required for land use, the construction license and, in Tulum, the SEMA environmental authorization. Good construction documents prevent overruns, delays and title problems.
