Our Services
Building Location Certificates
When Council needs to know that a building is in the right place in terms of the legal boundary we are the trusted experts. We can set out the building so that it is built in the right place and then verify it once the boxing is completed and the foundation is ready to pour.
Boundary Identification Surveys
We locate the old pegs and verify them. We can indicate the boundary location so things can be built in the right place. If there are any issues with the boundaries we can reinstate the boundary positions and submit plans to Land Information New Zealand as Licensed Cadastral Surveyors.
Topographical Surveys
We carry out topo surveys during the planning and feasibility study phase of projects. This detailed survey provides essential data and 3D models of the terrain such as rivers, streams, wetlands, and existing infrastructure like roads and pipelines to facilitate accurate planning and design.
Legalisation Surveys
When changes to boundaries are required we are the team to talk to. We complete Land Transfer surveys and Legalisation surveys to update and adjust boundaries.
Engineering Surveys
We specialise in Topographical Surveys for infrastructure projects. We provide a digital representation of the real world. We can deliver a digital file that can be used for design.
