CADASTRAL SURVEY

Cadastral Survey of Daraja Mbili Market

Client: Municipal / County AdministrationDaraja Mbili, Kisii Municipality, Kenya2023 - 2024

Scope: Tenure Regularization & Boundary Demarcation for High-Density Commercial Market

Comprehensive boundary definition and tenure regularization survey for the historic Daraja Mbili Market—one of Western Kenya’s most vital trading hubs. The project resolved historic boundary overlaps, mapped hundreds of trader stalls, and paved the way for secure land titling.

ChallengeHigh congestion with thousands of daily traders, contested perimeter borders with neighboring landowners, and absence of historic beacon markers.
SolutionDeployed dual-frequency RTK GNSS and high-accuracy total stations during dawn operational windows. Conducted participatory mapping meetings with county officials and vendor committees.
OutcomeSuccessful demarcation of clear market boundaries, delivery of approved Survey of Kenya cadastral plans, and formalized security of tenure enabling multi-million shilling market infrastructure upgrades.
TOPOGRAPHICAL SURVEY

Kenyatta University – Ruiru Campus Topographical Survey

Client: Kenyatta University / Project Civil EngineersRuiru Campus, Kiambu County, Kenya2022

Scope: Complete Topographical & Feature Mapping for Architectural Master Planning

Delglobe Consultants was commissioned to execute an intensive high-order topographical survey covering the multi-acre university campus grounds to feed into master civil engineering and structural architectural designs.

ChallengeVarying gradients, multiple existing academic blocks, underground utility lines, and drainage channels requiring sub-centimeter vertical accuracy.
SolutionEstablished a network of primary geodetic control stations tied to national trigonometric benchmarks. Carried out dense grid spot height leveling and complete 3D digital terrain modeling.
OutcomeDelivered AutoCAD 3D contour models, Digital Elevation Models (DEM), and utility maps that directly enabled zero-error civil earthworks and campus expansion design.

PROPERTY VALUATION

Valuation & Advisory Plan: LR No. 6001/3

Client: Private Family Estate BeneficiariesRift Valley / Western Region, Kenya2023

Scope: Asset Valuation and Subdivision Advisory Plan for Equitable Land Partition

A sensitive family estate matter involving the fair division of a high-value parcel (LR No. 6001/3). Delglobe conducted an exhaustive statutory and market valuation to ensure both brothers received equitable value, taking road frontage and terrain into account.

ChallengeDiscrepancies in perceived land value due to road frontage disparity and uneven topography across the parcel.
SolutionConducted a hedonic valuation assessing frontage premium vs. rear parcel agricultural fertility. Formulated an innovative subdivision advisory plan balancing square footage and economic value.
OutcomeBoth brothers and their legal counsels signed the amicable subdivision agreement without resorting to protracted court litigation, leading to swift title deed processing.
GIS SOLUTIONS

County Spatial Data Framework & LIMS Advisory

Client: Regional Planning DirectorateWestern & Nyanza Region, Kenya2023 - 2025

Scope: Geospatial Database Modeling, Cadastral Digitization & Valuation Roll Audit

Designed a modern geodatabase to capture county physical infrastructure, land tenure parcels, revenue collection zones, and zoning constraints into an integrated GIS portal.

ChallengeLegacy paper registry records that were fragmented, prone to transcription errors, and lacked coordinate references.
SolutionDeployed scanning, vectorization, and georeferencing pipeline with PostGIS and QGIS, building an interactive parcel search portal.
OutcomeIncreased municipal property rate capture efficiency and reduced cadastral search turnaround times from weeks to minutes.
