Question 1

What is Systematic Cadastre (PNCCF) and what are municipal obligations?

Accepted Answer

The National Program for Cadastre and Land Registry (PNCCF) is a national initiative to measure and register all land parcels and structures in Romania free of charge in the Land Registry. City halls (UATs) can access non-reimbursable funding provided by ANCPI for cadastral registration of urban and rural sectors. Megagis SRL executes end-to-end systematic cadastre projects—from centimeter-accurate field surveys to public consultations and final OCPI land registration.

Question 2

Is property registration 100% free of charge for property owners in systematic cadastre?

Accepted Answer

Yes, systematic registration is completely free for land owners and possessors. All costs for field surveys, cadastral plan preparation, and land registry extract issuance are covered by ANCPI funds allocated to the municipality. Property owners only need to grant access for measurements and provide copies of ownership deeds.

Question 3

What are the main stages of a Systematic Cadastre project?

Accepted Answer

A systematic cadastre project managed by Megagis follows 5 rigorous phases: 1) Public information campaign and collection of title deeds; 2) Precision field surveys (GNSS RTK Stereo 70) and boundary identification; 3) GIS data processing and technical document preparation; 4) Public publication of technical documents at the city hall and a 60-day rectification period; 5) Final OCPI reception and Land Registry extract delivery.

Question 4

What happens if area discrepancies or overlaps occur during the public display period?

Accepted Answer

During the official 60-day public display window, any property owner can submit a rectification request. Megagis engineers re-verify field measurements, analyze original title deeds, and perform technical corrections in the spatial database prior to final project closing.

Question 5

Why is the Local Green Space Register mandatory under Law 24/2007?

Accepted Answer

According to Romanian Law 24/2007 on urban green space administration, all local public authorities (city halls, municipal councils) are legally required to establish and maintain a Local Green Space Register. Failure to comply leads to fines from the National Environmental Guard and blocks urban planning approvals (PUG/PUZ).

Question 6

What is included in tree field inventory and individual phytosanitary cards?

Accepted Answer

Megagis georeferences every public tree in the national Stereo 70 coordinate grid using centimeter GNSS RTK. For each tree, a detailed phytosanitary card is generated containing: botanical & common species name, trunk diameter (at 1.30m), height, crown spread, health status, and management recommendations (pruning, treatment, or removal).

Question 7

How are RSV data delivered to city halls and what software formats are used?

Accepted Answer

Data are delivered both as printed maps/parcel cards and as geospatial digital databases (ESRI Shapefile, PostGIS, GeoJSON, DXF). Additionally, we provide cloud access to the Megagis WebGIS RSV platform for real-time querying and urban planning updates.

Question 8

What precision do Megagis topographical survey instruments provide?

Accepted Answer

Megagis SRL operates multi-frequency GNSS RTK receivers connected to the national ROMPOS network, achieving ±1-2 cm positioning accuracy. For detailed structural, engineering, and construction site surveys, we use Leica and Topcon robotic total stations capable of millimeter-level distance and 1-2 arcsecond angular precision.

Question 9

What is the difference between a site plan and a topographical survey?

Accepted Answer

A topographical survey is the physical field process of measuring coordinates and spot heights. A site plan (Plan de Situație) is the official technical drawing prepared from survey data, validated by OCPI, and required for Building Permits (PAC), urban planning certificates, and utility connection projects.

Question 10

How is first land registration or plot division (subdivision) performed?

Accepted Answer

For land registration or parcel splitting, our team surveys parcel boundaries, prepares the Site & Demarcation Plan (PAD), and generates e-Terra files (.xml / .cgml). We submit the dossier to the local OCPI land registry office and monitor approval until new cadastral IDs are issued.

Question 11

What is a WebGIS platform and how does it benefit public institutions or private companies?

Accepted Answer

A WebGIS platform transforms CAD and cadastral data into an interactive online map accessible in any web browser. Authorized staff can search cadastral IDs, overlay high-res orthophotos, verify utility lines, and generate reports in seconds without needing complex desktop CAD software.

Question 12

What professional GIS software systems are Megagis deliverables compatible with?

Accepted Answer

Megagis SRL delivers natively formatted spatial data for major software platforms: Esri ArcGIS (ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Enterprise 11.2, ArcGIS Pro), MapSys 10.x, QGIS, and OGC standards (PostGIS, GeoServer). We also generate XML/CGML files compliant with ANCPI e-Terra 3.

Question 13

In what file formats can GIS project data be exported?

Accepted Answer

We export spatial data in CAD vector formats (.DXF, .DWG), GIS formats (.SHP, .GeoJSON, File Geodatabase .GDB), ANCPI exchange formats (.XML, .CGML), and printable high-res PDF plans (.PDF, .TIFF).

Question 14

How are cadastral and GIS services purchased via SEAP/SICAP?

Accepted Answer

MEGAGIS SRL is registered on the Romanian Public Procurement Portal (SEAP/SICAP). For public contracting authorities, we provide technical advisory for drafting terms of reference, cost estimation, and direct contract publishing.

Question 15

What are the typical turnaround times for surveying and large GIS projects?

Accepted Answer

Individual topographical surveys and site plans take 1-3 business days on site, with OCPI review taking 7-15 business days (according to official ANCPI terms). Municipal systematic cadastre (PNCCF) or Green Space Register projects span 3 to 12 months according to contract milestones.

Question 16
