Site plan in Denmark
You may draw the situationsplan yourself — it must be measured, to scale and submitted as a PDF through Byg og Miljø. A certified adviser is required only in fire class or construction class 2–4.
Can you draw it yourself in Denmark? #
Yes, for simple projects. Applicants can prepare their own situationsplan, for example by marking up an existing or original situationsplan for the property. A certified adviser (certificeret rådgiver) becomes mandatory if the project falls in fire class or construction class 2–4.

What Denmark requires #
The situationsplan shows the whole matrikel with:
- The building's placement on the plot
- Distances to property boundaries
- Distances to other buildings on the plot
It must be measured and to scale (målfast), and submitted as a PDF in A4 or A3. Photographs of drawings are not accepted.
Where to get the base map #
The official cadastral map is the matrikelkort from matriklen, maintained by Geodatastyrelsen (the Danish Geodata Agency, under the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Utilities). It shows registered property boundaries. Address and property data come from BBR and DAWA.
How to submit #
All building applications must go through the mandatory national portal Byg og Miljø, using MitID login. The portal provides examples and step-by-step guidance, and routes the case to your kommune.
