Draw an area.
Get a CAD-ready base map —
with the buildings counted.

Real streets and their names, blocks, plots and buildings — each on its own layer, ready to open in AutoCAD or QGIS. Delivered as a DXF, minutes after you draw the area.

Built for fibre-optic (FTTH) network design, and just as useful for land subdivision, urban planning and mapping.

Who it is for

The same base map — blocks, plots, real streets and annotations — serves several trades. You get a clean DXF, layer by layer, reusable in your own tools.

Telecoms & FTTH

Area breakdown ready for a fibre rollout: blocks, plots and dwellings per building, with real named streets to route your cables along.

Land subdivision & surveyors

A regular plot layout laid on the true footprint of the area, to prepare, check or present a subdivision project.

Urban planning

A clear base of the area — buildings, streets, open ground — for planning studies, master plans and presentations.

Mapping & GIS

Clean georeferenced layers (UTM, any zone) exported as DXF, usable straight away in AutoCAD, QGIS or your own GIS.

What is in the file

One DXF, layer by layer, reusable in your own tools. No account needed on anyone else's platform, nothing to install.

Streets, as they really are

The existing street network and street names, reported as surveyed — not a grid drawn on top of your neighbourhood.

Blocks and plots

Blocks and individual plots on separate layers, with a setback strip between the road and the block, so the drawing holds up at working scale.

Buildings — and the dwellings

Each building typed and counted: villa, shared compound, R+1, R+2. This is the number you have to settle before sizing any fibre network, and it is the one nobody else hands you.

Where it works

Anywhere in the world the neighbourhood is on the map. You draw the area on a world map, type coordinates, or upload a .kmz boundary exported from Google Earth. There is no country list, no waiting list and no national coordinate system to match. The examples below happen to be African because that is where the work came from first — the engine does not know the difference.

Before / After — on real areas

Left: the actual satellite image of the area. Right: the base map produced by CadastreCI, untouched.
Streets, buildings and shops come from OpenStreetMap, queried live on every run: a street mapped yesterday shows up in your file today. The satellite backdrop is the latest image published by Google over the area.

Area 1 — large urban area (~230 ha, 3,500 plots)

Area 2 — Cocody, Abidjan: housing and a university campus

Satellite image of the Cocody district in Abidjan — BEFORE The area seen from satellite

Annotated base map: villas, schools, lecture halls and campus woodland — AFTER Villas, schools, lecture halls and campus woodland read correctly — no invented dwelling

Area 3 — a .kmz boundary (Monrovia, Liberia): the map follows your EXACT shape

Area 4 — Plateau, Abidjan: it recognises what cannot be lived in

Satellite image of Plateau, Abidjan: lagoon, railway station, stadium and parks — BEFORE The area seen from satellite

Plateau base map: station, railway, stadium, parks and lagoon identified and left out of the subdivision — AFTER Station and railway, stadium, worksites, parks and lagoon named — not a single plot drawn on top of them

Area 5 — Yopougon, Abidjan: a very dense district, counted building by building

Yopougon base map: villas, shared compounds, shops and schools with the dwelling total — AFTER Villas, shared compounds, shops and schools told apart one by one — 96% of the real building footprint covered by plots

In the delivered DXF, every element sits on its own layer — FRAME, ROADS, BLOCKS, PLOTS, BUILDINGS, WATER and ANNOTATIONS — ready to work with in AutoCAD, layer by layer.

How it works

Draw the area

Search a place name, drop coordinates, or upload a .dxf or .kmz boundary. Any shape — you are not limited to a rectangle.

Let it run

Around two minutes for a 49-hectare area. Large areas are split and reassembled into a single file.

Download the DXF

A DXF with clean layers, a PNG preview, and a quality score out of 100 on the drawing itself — so you know what you are handing over.

Simple pricing

Prices are in CFA francs (XOF), the currency of the eight-country West African monetary union. The euro figure is the fixed parity.

The engine is exactly the same on every plan — a base map that is right has to be right for everyone. What changes is the area size and how many you can run per day.

What this is not

CadastreCI is not a signed document. It is not a title, and it does not replace a licensed surveyor's work. It is the base map you start from — produced in minutes instead of days of drafting.

Streets, street names, schools, banks and other landmarks are existing survey data, reported as they are. Villas and shared compounds are estimates, and that is written on the drawing itself, next to the count. We would rather you know which number is measured and which one is estimated.

A note on language. This page is in English. The web application itself is currently in French, and an English interface is being built. If you want to be told when it ships, create an account — the sign-up form takes an email address and nothing else.

Data and licences

Streets, buildings and places come from OpenStreetMap, under the ODbL licence. Additional building footprints come from VIDA (Google Open Buildings + Microsoft), under CC BY 4.0. Every file we deliver carries these credits on the drawing, on their own layer — so the plan says where its data comes from even after it leaves us.
