Three professions, one firm, one set of answers.

Land, value and cost are usually handled by three different firms who never talk to each other. We keep surveyors, valuers and quantity surveyors in the same office, so a land deal or building project gets one consistent answer.

Pick the situation closest to yours. We’ll show you what’s involved and what to have ready, then you can send us the details in one step.

Check it before you pay: a land search and a boundary opening.

How it works

  1. 1We search the title at the Ministry of Lands zonal office for the registered owner, caveats and mortgages.
  2. 2A registered surveyor opens the boundary on site and shows you the beacons.
  3. 3You get a written note of what we found, including anything that doesn't match what the seller told you.

What to have ready

  • A copy or photo of the title
  • The seller's name and phone number
  • Directions to the land

Registered professionals sign every report.

We traded as TWI Generations Limited for over five years. When the Surveyors Registration Board ruled that limited companies could not carry out surveying, we re-registered as a partnership of registered surveyors: I&G Max Consults.

That’s why the names below matter. Each partner is personally registered and accountable for the work that leaves this office.

Questions we hear every week

Something else? Ask us on WhatsApp.

Will my bank accept your valuation report?

We are retained valuers for Centenary Bank, KCB Bank and FINCA. For any other lender, tell us the bank when you get in touch and we'll confirm whether we're on its panel before any work starts.

My neighbour says the fence is on their land. What do I do?

Ask for a boundary opening. A registered land surveyor uses the survey records for your title to re-establish the original beacons on the ground, in the presence of the neighbours, so everyone sees where the line actually runs.

How do I check a title is genuine before I buy?

Before paying, get a land search done at the Ministry of Lands zonal office and have the boundary opened on the ground. Together they confirm who the registered owner is, whether there are caveats or mortgages on it, and that the land you were shown is the land on the title.

Can I get a title for land I bought on a sale agreement?

Often, yes. It starts with a fresh survey of the land and depends on the tenure: customary, mailo, freehold or leasehold. Bring the sale agreements and any letters you have, and we'll tell you which route applies.

What do I need for a valuation?

A copy of the land title, the owner's contact, directions to the property, and approved building plans if there are buildings. If a bank asked for the valuation, bring its instruction letter too.

Why value a building for insurance?

Insurers pay out against the sum insured. A reinstatement valuation tells you what it would really cost to rebuild, so you are not paying premiums on too much cover or left short after a loss.

What is a bill of quantities and do I need one?

It lists every item of work in your building, measured from the drawings. Contractors then price the same list, so you can compare bids fairly and control variations while you build. For anything beyond a small extension, it saves more than it costs.

Can you tell me what my house will cost to build?

Yes, from your drawings. Send the architectural and structural drawings and the site location, and our quantity surveyors will prepare an itemised estimate.

Do you work outside Kampala?

Yes. Our work has covered Kabale, Hoima, Buliisa, Mubende, Buvuma, Jinja, Ibanda and more, and we have processed titles in Kamwenge, Ntungamo, Mbarara, Wakiso and Mukono.
