Case study / GeospatialCity mapping and plot boundary digitisation

Paper city maps became planning-ready CAD data.

Paper-based georeferenced drawings for Spanish urban planning were converted into CAD-ready plot and infrastructure data enriched with zoning, size and property attributes.

Paper-based georeferenced drawings for Spanish urban planning were converted into CAD-ready plot and infrastructure data enriched with zoning, size and property attributes.

The challenge

Outdated paper maps made real-time land-use planning and property tax assessment difficult.

The work required more than line conversion because every plot needed useful metadata for municipal workflows.

The approach

SBL converted georeferenced drawings into high-fidelity CAD outputs and enriched plot boundaries with zoning, area and property details.

The team aligned outputs to Bentley CAD expectations so municipalities could use the data in existing planning systems.

Stage 01

Capture

Review and prepare paper-based georeferenced drawings.

Stage 02

Digitize

Convert plot and infrastructure features into CAD geometry.

Stage 03

Enrich

Attach zoning, area and property attributes for planning use.

The result

The client gained an urban mapping layer that could support planning, taxation and zoning decisions with less manual lookup.

  • Plot boundaries and infrastructure became digital CAD assets.
  • Zoning and property attributes were tied to mapped features.
  • Planning teams gained more searchable urban data.
  • Outputs were prepared for municipal CAD workflows.
