Most land development and subdivision projects require a topographical or “topo” survey which will detail the land contour and any other features on the land. The electronic data provided by a topo survey is then used in a number of ways in the development process– including geotechnical assessments, infrastructure design, ecological reports, archaeological reports, architectural design and landscaping reports.
Quite often your boundary isn’t where it appears to be! Our land surveyors are available to fix the position of your boundary.
If you are subdividing, Licensed or Registered Professional Surveyors are required to undertake the legal definition of a new land parcel for the purposes of creating new titles.

We believe “creating great places” should involve a cost-effective, environmentally sustainable approach to any project that involves a valuable natural resource, such as native bush or streams. We will offer minimum impact approaches to all our projects, the aim being not only to protect our flora, fauna and waterways but also to add environmental value where we can.
We have skilled ecologists who can provide most services, or can advise a specialist ecologist where a particularly complex issue may need to be investigated.

Unit title subdivisions are a common way of providing titles for higher density residential development such as apartments and industrial and commercial development where there are a number of premises on the one site. Unit titles require a building to be designed as boundaries ar based on the building premises. Once completed, unit titles can be sold off individually, usually with a share in common areas such as access and carparking.
