This is when our team was on-site at the Kabudula plot, walking the boundary and recording coordinate points to support the site sketch.

This is when our team was recording coordinates at the Kabudula plot, using GPS/GNSS equipment to capture boundary points for use in preparing the site sketch.

Qwathu Surveyors prepared a Site sketch of the Kabudula plot, showing boundary coordinates, bearings, and distances (A–N), a total area of 0.9878 ha (2.441 ac), plot location relative to the 24m and 6m road reserves, and an inset map indicating the plot's position within the surrounding area.
