Residential & Commerical Survey FAQ's
What survey do I need for my construction project?
For new construction, you’ll typically need a detail survey for design, boundary identification for setbacks, and building setout surveys before construction begins. For larger projects, you may also need flood level information and height certificates.
How do I find my property boundaries?
A boundary identification survey is the only reliable way to determine your exact property boundaries. We research historical records and use precise measurements to mark your true boundary positions.
Do I need a survey for a new fence?
While not always required, a boundary survey is recommended for new fences to avoid disputes and ensure correct placement. This is particularly important if you’re sharing costs with neighbors or installing expensive fencing.
What's involved in a flood survey?
A flood survey determines your property’s flood risk and minimum floor levels required by council. We provide documentation showing flood levels, which is essential for construction approval and insurance purposes.
What is a cadastral surveyor?
A cadastral surveyor (also called a registered surveyor) is licensed to determine and mark legal property boundaries. Cadastral surveyors are legally certified to provide boundary surveys, subdivision plans, and other legal property documentation.
What is a contour and detail survey?
This survey shows the levels and features of your land, including slopes, buildings, trees, and services. It’s essential for design and planning, helping architects and builders understand how to work with your site’s characteristics.
What is a Form 16?
A Form 16 is a compliance certificate issued by a registered surveyor confirming aspects of your building work meet requirements. This often includes verification of building position, height, and floor levels.
How often should boundaries be checked?
It’s wise to check boundaries before any construction near property lines, when purchasing property, or if there’s uncertainty about fence positions. Some boundaries haven’t been surveyed for decades.
What's involved in a building setout?
Building setout marks the exact position of your new building on site. We transfer the architectural plans onto your land, marking key points for the builder to work from.
How long does a residential survey take?
Most residential surveys are completed within 5-7 working days from site visit to final documentation. Urgent services can be arranged when needed.
Do I need a height certificate?
We need your property address, the type of project you’re planning (e.g., renovation, new build, fencing), and any specific council requirements you’re aware of. Plans or sketches are helpful but not essential.
What information do you need to provide a quote?
We need your property address, the type of project you’re planning (e.g., renovation, new build, fencing), and any specific council requirements you’re aware of. Plans or sketches are helpful but not essential.
What documentation will I receive?
You’ll receive all necessary survey plans, certificates, and reports required for your specific project. These are provided in both digital and hard copy formats suitable for council lodgement.
Can you help with council requirements?
Yes, we’re familiar with local council requirements and can provide advice on what surveys you’ll need for approval. We ensure all documentation meets current standards.
How accurate are your surveys?
Our surveys meet or exceed industry standards and council requirements. For boundary surveys, we achieve millimeter-level accuracy using professional survey equipment.
What's involved in a granny flat survey?
Granny flat surveys cover boundary setbacks, site levels, and service locations. We provide the documentation needed for council approval and construction.
