Three Disciplines. One Accountable Deliverable.

Physical planning, geospatial analytics and environmental compliance — held in-house so that every spatial decision your project makes is defensible before county authorities and national regulators.

Physical planning — architectural layout drawings
01
Service Area 01

Physical & Spatial Planning

Designing spatial plans, structural layouts and land-use frameworks that respond to Machakos County's rapidly growing infrastructure while remaining defensible against county and national planning policy.

Subdivision Schemes

Preparation of residential, commercial and agricultural subdivision schemes — including parcel delineation, access planning, boundary reconciliation and submission-ready survey documentation.

Change & Extension of User

End-to-end preparation of Change of User applications — from site assessment, planning justification and lease extension strategy through to county lodgement and follow-up.

Master Layout Plans

Comprehensive site master planning for residential estates, mixed-use developments and commercial parks — incorporating circulation, utility corridors, open space provision and phasing strategy.

Structural Layout Design

Site-specific structural layout drawings showing building footprints, setbacks, parking provisions, access and drainage alignment, prepared to county approval specification.

Zoning & Land Use Advisory

Interpretation of county zoning frameworks for individual landowners, developers and industrial clients — clarifying what is permissible on a parcel before capital is committed.

GIS mapping and geospatial analysis

Service Area 02

GIS Mapping & Analytics

Utilising Geographic Information Systems to process spatial data, map terrain boundaries and analyse structural growth patterns — turning raw coordinates into decisions your project can act on.

Cadastral Mapping

Digital mapping of land parcel boundaries, registration blocks and cadastral frameworks — reconciled against registry records for accurate, defensible parcel geometry.

Topographic Analysis

Detailed terrain modelling showing elevation, slope, contours and natural drainage — essential for site feasibility, structural siting and stormwater planning.

Drone / UAV Aerial Surveys

High-resolution aerial capture producing orthomosaics, digital surface models and site progress records — ideal for large parcels and ongoing construction verification.

Boundary Verification

Field-verified beacons and boundary reconciliation using RTK GNSS and total station equipment — resolving discrepancies before they become disputes.

Geographic Database Management

Structured spatial databases that hold parcel, infrastructure and environmental layers in a single queryable system — supporting ongoing project decision-making.

Spatial Growth Analysis

Comparative analysis of structural growth and land-use change across time — used by developers and county agencies to anticipate infrastructure demand.

Who This Serves
  • Civil engineering firms
  • County government agencies
  • Utility and infrastructure providers
  • Land survey firms requiring GIS support
  • Research and planning institutions
Deliverables

Service Area 03

Environmental Consulting

Conducting Environmental Impact Assessments and waste audits that ensure regional infrastructure projects comply fully with National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) standards — and stay compliant after approval.

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)

Full-scope EIAs prepared and lodged for NEMA licensing — covering project description, baseline environmental conditions, impact prediction, mitigation design and public participation.

Annual Environmental Audits

Statutory annual audits for operating facilities — verifying that Environmental Management Plans are being implemented and that licence conditions remain satisfied.

Waste Audits

Structured waste characterisation and management audits for commercial and industrial premises — quantifying streams, evaluating disposal routes and recommending reduction strategies.

Effluent Discharge Plans

Preparation of effluent discharge licence applications and supporting technical documentation for industrial and commercial facilities discharging into the environment.

NEMA Licensing & Regulatory Compliance

End-to-end licence application support — from initial screening and scoping through to submission, response to NEMA queries and final licence issuance.

Environmental Management Plans (EMP)

Preparation of practical, implementable EMPs that translate assessment findings into operational controls contractors and facility managers can actually follow.

Who This Serves
  • Industrial developers & factory operators
  • Commercial construction firms
  • Real estate developers (post-approval)
  • Quarry, agri-processing and logistics operators
  • Institutions and facility managers
Deliverables
  • Full EIA study reports
  • Project Reports (licensed)
  • Annual audit submissions
  • Environmental Management Plans
  • Effluent discharge licence packs

How We Work

The Engagement Pathway

A structured five-stage workflow that takes your project from initial enquiry through to a fully documented, compliance-ready close.

01

Initial Brief

We take your site details, objectives and any existing documentation, and clarify the exact scope required.

02

Site Assessment

Field visit, boundary verification and spatial data capture using RTK GNSS, total station or UAV, as applicable.

03

Technical Analysis

Processing in GIS and CAD — terrain, parcels, constraints and planning context analysed into a defensible proposal.

04

Documentation

Drawing packs, planning justification reports or EIA studies compiled to submission standard.

05

Submission & Follow-Through

Lodgement with county or NEMA, response to queries, and support through to final approval.

Timelines depend on project scale and regulatory queues, but we scope and communicate them clearly at the brief stage — no ambiguity.

Why GeoLeric

One Consultancy, Full Accountability.

Most land projects fail at the seams — between the planner, the surveyor and the environmental consultant. We hold all three disciplines in-house, which removes that risk entirely.

The Practical Result

Shorter timelines, consistent data across all documents, and a single point of accountability if a county or NEMA query arises.

Compressed Timelines

No hand-offs between firms means no waiting for another consultant's queue to clear.

Consistent Data

The same parcel geometry, terrain model and boundary set appears across every deliverable you receive.

Local Knowledge

Working familiarity with Machakos zoning bylaws and approval workflows that external firms routinely get wrong.

Submission-Ready Output

Every document is compiled to the format county planners and NEMA reviewers actually expect to receive.

Common Questions

What Clients Ask Us First

If your question is not covered here, reach out directly and we will answer it against your specific site.

Ask a Direct Question

How long does a subdivision scheme usually take?

It depends on parcel size, access requirements and current county approval queues. We scope the technical work at the brief stage and give you a realistic window rather than an optimistic one.

Do I need an EIA before I can start construction?

Most projects listed under the Second Schedule of EMCA require either a full EIA licence or a Project Report. If you share your project type and location, we can advise within the first conversation which applies.

Can you work on a site outside Machakos County?

Yes. Our core operational base is Machakos, but we regularly extend mapping and environmental work to projects elsewhere in Kenya. Field logistics are quoted separately where travel is significant.

What do you need from me to start?

At minimum: the plot or L.R. number, location (sub-county), and a short description of what you want to achieve. If you have a title deed, deed plan or previous correspondence, include it — it speeds things up.

Do you handle submissions to NEMA and the county on my behalf?

Yes. Submission and follow-through are part of the engagement, not an optional extra. If a reviewer raises a query, we respond to it — you are not left chasing the file yourself.

Next Step

Tell Us About Your Project — We'll Scope the Right Pathway.

Whether it is a single parcel subdivision in Malaa, an industrial EIA in Athi River, or a full master layout along the Kangundo Road corridor, we can advise on exactly what is required.
