As Built Surveys

As licensed surveyors, we conduct as-built surveys to accurately validate the precise locations and mapping points for all components of an infrastructure project, both during the construction phase and upon its completion. We create detailed as-built survey plans for developers, building and construction companies, property owners, as well as local Councils for infrastructure projects.

We also conduct immediate surveys in instances where unforeseen circumstances arise during a construction project and require amendments to the construction plans. We conduct surveys to document new coordinates on the site plan.

Detail Topographical Surveying

Detailed topographical surveying, also known as a site survey, is a comprehensive documentation process that captures the topographical features and contours of a property. At Definition Surveying, our experienced surveyors conduct topographic surveys to record essential features for the development of your site.

We use GNSS, total station, laser scanners and drones to efficiently capture 3D information, such as horizontal and vertical positions, feature lines, and surfaces. This process takes only a fraction of the time compared to traditional methods. The collected 3D data is subsequently utilised in design software to create plans and maps for specific parcels of land.

Whether you're a developer, architect, engineer, or involved in any industry requiring a digitised 3D representation of the real world, Definition Surveying is proud to offer its services to meet your unique needs.

Land Subdivision - Rural and Urban

When there is a need to divide a parcel of land into multiple lots, or when property owners plan to sell, transfer, or develop portions of their land independently, a land transfer subdivision becomes mandatory. However, the process is complex, lengthy, and involves compliance with local regulations and zoning requirements. It demands specialist knowledge and a pool of resources to efficiently complete the process.

At Definition Surveying, we can manage the entire process for you, ensuring that all regulatory obligations are promptly met with your council. Whether your property is rural or urban, we can help you make the most of your land. We provide services in Invercargill, Tauranga, Upper Hutt, Hastings, and all over New Zealand. If you need a surveyor in Hastings, or any other specific region, you can call us.

Boundary Redefinition/Identification Surveys

Locating property boundaries can be challenging at times. If you and your neighbour are considering erecting a fence, constructing a shed, or investing in a home extension, it's crucial to ensure you're building in the right place. Contact us today to conduct an accurate boundary survey to redefine property boundaries as it's always reassuring to have accurate property boundary information.

As Licensed Cadastral Surveyors, we have the necessary knowledge and licensing to accurately identify and demarcate property boundaries while adhering to all legal requirements. Our surveys serve as authoritative records of property boundary location to prevent any potential encroachments onto neighbouring land and eliminate disputes.

It’s imperative to have a reliable, experienced surveying team by your side to provide you with accurate set-out information you can rely on. We use state-of-the-art technology with a clear understanding of project requirements, to give your project a solid start.

Whether it's marking the locations of structures, foundations, or key elements of your construction project, we are committed to providing accurate set-out survey reports tailored to meet the specific needs of your project.
