Accurate boundary surveying ensures the land is rightfully marked out
Boundary surveying is a critical aspect of land development, and we pride ourselves on delivering accurate and reliable solutions. Alongside traditional surveying methods we also offer drone surveying for large areas or difficult terrain.
Our expertise includes the definition and relocation of boundaries, boundary adjustment, the removal of title limitations, unit title surveys, the subdivision of land, cross lease surveys and the survey of natural boundary surveys such as waterways and coastal areas.
With our precise boundary and title solutions, you can have peace of mind knowing your property boundaries are accurately defined. This ensures your development plans and consent applications are accurate and reduces the risk of costly disputes later on.

Whether you're subdividing a single lot or working on a large-scale development, our end-to-end project management services are designed to provide you with a stress-free experience.
As part of our land surveying services, we work with you through the entire project including:
