SG Diagram Copy

An official copy of the Surveyor General (SG) diagram — the approved survey plan showing the exact boundaries, dimensions and beacons of a property.

What is an SG diagram?

A Surveyor General (SG) diagram is the official, approved survey of a property. It is the authoritative plan of the land — defining the exact position, shape and extent of an erf, farm or sectional-title scheme far more precisely than any sketch on a title deed.

What the diagram shows

  • Boundaries and dimensions — the measured length of every boundary line.
  • Beacons and coordinates — the surveyed corner points that fix the property on the ground.
  • Registered extent — the official area of the erf or portion.
  • Servitudes — registered rights of way and other servitudes crossing the land.
  • Survey details — the land surveyor and the SG approval reference.

Who orders an SG diagram copy

Architects and draughtspeople preparing building plans, conveyancers and attorneys handling a transfer, land surveyors, and owners or neighbours settling a boundary question — anyone who needs the definitive plan of a property.
