Multiple parcels, one survey
Draw more than one boundary on the same site and see each parcel's area alongside the combined total.
Free for architects, surveyors and property professionals
Land Survey Studio
Draw a boundary on a map and get its area instantly, in square metres, square feet, acres or hectares.
Built for architects, land surveyors, developers, property owners and anyone else who needs to measure and document land, whether or not the parcel is listed on GetLegacyHomes.
A proper working tool, not a toy calculator
Land Survey Studio is a mapping tool built to be used on real projects. It uses OpenStreetMap and the same mathematics behind professional mapping software to calculate area, so the numbers hold up.
It is independent of any single listing or company. A surveyor documenting a client's plot, an architect checking a site before a design, or a family confirming the size of land they are about to buy can all use it the same way.
Everything a survey needs in one place
Every saved survey keeps its boundaries, documents and history together, so nothing has to be tracked separately.
Snapping to existing boundaries
New corners snap to nearby boundary corners and edges, so adjoining parcels line up instead of drifting apart.
A printable report
Generate a boundary plot with a scale and north arrow, plus a coordinates table, ready to print or save as a PDF.
Documents kept with the survey
Attach title deeds, Certificates of Occupancy, survey plans, permits and site photos to the survey they belong to.
A full record of activity
Every survey saved, document added and report opened is logged, so a project's history is never lost.
Built on open, free tools
Runs on OpenStreetMap and open mapping libraries. No licence fee, no subscription and no account limits.
From an empty map to a finished survey
The whole process happens in the Studio, in one browser tab.
Find the site
Search an address or use your current location to centre the map on the plot you want to survey.
Draw the boundary
Trace the parcel on the map. Corners snap to nearby boundaries automatically, and you can draw more than one parcel.
Read the area
The area updates instantly in square metres, square feet, acres and hectares as you draw.
Attach documents

Save and share
Save the survey to keep it in your own record, or print a report to hand to a client or colleague.

Common questions
A few things people usually want to know before they start.
Is this a substitute for a licensed land survey?
No. The area shown is calculated from a boundary drawn on a map, so treat it as a reliable estimate rather than a legal survey. For anything with legal or financial weight, a registered surveyor should confirm the figures.
Do I need a GetLegacyHomes account, or a property listed here, to use it?
You need an account to save a survey, attach documents or see your history, but the tool itself is not tied to any listing. It works equally well for land that has nothing to do with GetLegacyHomes.
Is it free?
Yes. It is built on free, open mapping tools, with no licence fee or subscription.
Can I keep more than one survey?
Yes. Every survey you save stays in your own record, each with its own parcels, documents and history.
