Our Services

Land development Surveys

  • Sometimes called a site survey, a topographic survey documents the topographical features and contours of your property. Our experienced surveyors will record features necessary for the development of your site.

  • The subdivision process can be complex, lengthy, and highly regulated. It takes specialist knowledge, resources and plenty of time. We’re here to guide you and manage the process for you to ensure all regulatory obligations are met with your council as quickly as possible. Whether you’re rural or urban, we’re ready and waiting to help you make the most of your land.

  • Property boundaries are sometimes hard to find, if you and your neighbour are looking to erect a fence, build a shed or perhaps invest in an extension to the family home, let us know, it’s always nice to know that you are building in the right place.

  • Legalisations are surveys undertaken to support public works and are typically associated with public infrastructure like roads and bridges. Parcels of land are created to support the acquisition or setting apart of land for public works or other public purposes under particular legislation. We have completed multiple legalisation surveys and have expert Licensed Cadastral Surveyors that can undertake this work.

  • We utilise high quality UAV technology to assist our clients with important data capturing.

    Aerial imagery is used for site context. Photogrammetry captures surface levels and site detail. This allows our surveyors to do complex volume calculations and progress reporting.
