Good decisions
start with accurate site information.

Before design begins, architects, engineers and developers need a clear understanding of the existing site. Our detail and feature surveys capture ground levels, structures, services and site conditions to provide reliable information for design, planning and construction decisions.

When A Detail Survey Supports Your Project

Design and planning

Accurate existing site information before engineering or architectural design begins.

Development projects

Understand site conditions, levels and constraints before design decisions are finalised.

Construction preparation

Confirm existing conditions and reduce uncertainty before works start.

F.A.Q.

A detail survey captures the existing features and levels of a site before design or construction begins. It provides accurate information about buildings, structures, services, ground levels, vegetation and other site features, helping architects, engineers and developers understand the site conditions and make informed decisions.

A detail survey is typically required before planning, design or development begins. It provides the existing site information needed for new buildings, extensions, subdivisions, infrastructure projects and construction planning. Engaging a surveyor early helps identify site constraints and reduce unexpected issues later in the project.

A topographic survey records the shape of the ground and the features on it, such as levels, structures, services and vegetation. A contour survey focuses on the levels and shows them as contour lines at a set interval. Contours can be produced from the same field data, so a single survey can cover both.

A detail survey shows the existing features and levels of a site, while a boundary survey establishes the legal property boundaries. Some projects require both types of survey information to ensure designs are based on accurate site conditions and correct property limits.

Every site is different. A small, open block can often be surveyed quickly, while a large or complex site needs more field work and more processing time. We provide clear timeframes based on your project requirements.

Depending on the job, we deliver DWG files with 3D terrain surfaces, 3D AutoCAD models, PDF plans and a survey report. If your design team works in a particular format, tell us when we scope the survey.
