Lot merger and subdivision technical documentation
Reconfiguring a property takes precise technical documentation that accurately represents the new layout of the land and supports the corresponding planning procedures.

The new layout of the land, precisely documented
At KAMON & CO. we prepare the technical documentation for lot mergers and subdivisions (englobe and desenglobe), producing drawings, area schedules and graphic representation based on the information provided by the client. These processes consolidate several properties into a single lot or divide a plot into new independent units, supporting development projects, sales, urbanization, permitting or land management. Properly prepared technical documentation reduces inconsistencies and makes the process with the competent authorities easier.
Illustrative exercise
Boundaries that merge and divide
Three neighboring properties are merged into a single lot, and that lot is subdivided into four. At every step the area schedule closes: the total does not change, the shape of the properties does. Illustrative dimensions and areas.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a merger and a subdivision?
A merger (englobe) joins two or more properties into a single lot, while a subdivision (desenglobe) divides a property into two or more independent lots.
When is a lot merger used?
A merger is the technical integration of two or more independent properties into a single lot. It is common in real estate developments, extensions, public facilities, industrial projects and urban planning processes.
When is a subdivision used?
A subdivision is the technical division of a property into two or more independent lots, in line with the applicable planning regulations. It is typically used for urbanization, partial land sales, inheritances, real estate developments or projects that need new legally independent lots.
Which documents do I need?
Ideally a georeferenced topographic survey, a cadastral or property plan, the public deed, the certificate of title (when applicable), available cadastral information, official coordinates if any, and any other information related to the project.
Do you carry out topographic surveys?
Not directly. If the project requires one, we can recommend or coordinate the service with specialist partners.
Can I hire the service before I have a topographic survey?
Yes, but the final technical documentation will normally require an up-to-date, reliable topographic survey.
Can you work with DWG or PDF files?
Yes, as long as the information provided is precise enough to produce the technical documentation.
Does the service include filing with the authorities?
No. KAMON & CO. prepares the technical documentation that supports the procedure. Filing, approval and registration are the responsibility of the competent authorities and entities.
How long does it take, and do you work outside Antioquia?
Yes, we work in other regions: when the available documentation allows, we provide the service remotely across Colombia. The timeline depends on the size of the property and the information available, or on the date the client needs: we assess the scope and confirm in the quote whether it can be met. We reply to every inquiry in under 24 business hours, and the formal quote takes 1 to 2 business weeks from the moment we receive the complete information.
What comes after the merger or subdivision?
Depending on the project, the next step may be a zoning analysis, architectural design, planning permits, BIM modeling or the technical development of the proposal.
