Your questions.
Clearer next steps.

For design, start by discussing a topographical survey. For property boundaries, ask about boundary marking. For building positions, discuss construction setout. If you are unsure, send the address and describe the next decision you need to make.

Topographical surveys record existing site features and levels for planning and design. As-built surveys record completed work for documentation and project requirements.

Yes. Discuss a combined brief if you need located underground services recorded alongside measured site information. The extent and deliverables are agreed before work starts.

Yes. Early survey information can support your planner and designer while the proposal is being developed.

Urban and rural subdivisions, multi-lot developments, unit titles and cross-lease conversions. Contact us with the address and proposal to discuss the survey stages.

Most Auckland subdivision proposals require resource consent. We can manage the consent and survey stages with the relevant planners, engineers and consultants.

Yes. We manage the agreed stages from site assessment and consent applications through civil design integration, as-built plans, Land Transfer and final certification. Scope and responsibilities are agreed before work starts.

Timing varies with the proposal, design work, approvals and construction stages. We discuss the survey programme alongside your project team rather than promise a fixed timeframe.

Not necessarily. Discuss a boundary survey before relying on a fence position for new building or fencing work.

The current drawings and revisions, required positions and levels, site access details and contractor timing. We also need to know who can confirm the design instructions.

Discuss it before the relevant works begin so baseline measurements and the repeat-visit requirements can be agreed with your engineer.

The methods provide different evidence. Electromagnetic locating traces conductive services or tracer wires, while GPR can help investigate other buried features. Findings are compared with available plans and site observations.

No. Ground conditions, target depth and size, access and congestion affect detection. The report communicates findings and limitations; it does not guarantee that every service has been identified.

Yes. Discuss the report plus survey option if you need located features picked up and delivered as an agreed survey plan or DWG.

We cover Auckland and Greater Auckland, extending south to Hamilton, Tauranga and Taupo.

Lead times depend on the work type. For existing clients needing further work, we ask for 48 hours’ notice. Contact us to agree the scope and arrange timing.

Send the site address, a short description of the work, required timing and relevant plans. Include any brief from your architect, engineer or contractor.

Describe your project and the information you need. We can help identify an appropriate survey scope.

The scope depends on the site, access, fieldwork, deliverables and required visits. Send the brief so we can discuss a quote for your project.
