Subdivisions and Boundary Adjustments

Thinking about carving off a bit of your land or splitting it into separate ownership? We've got you covered.

  • Resource consenting (subdivision and land-use consents)
  • Project management and chatting with the powers that be (so you don't have to)
  • Preparation of scheme plans, land transfer plans and supporting documents (we'll handle the paperwork)

Cadastral Surveying

Need to figure out exactly where your boundary sits or mark it out with some shiny new pegs? We’ve got the gear (and the know-how) to make it happen.

  • Find a boundary peg
  • Mark out existing boundary locations
  • Locate or establish an easement (such as a right of way) or covenant area
  • Redefinition of your land parcel or title

‍Topographic Surveying

Need a clear picture of your site, from the rolling hills to the garden shed? We can accurately map your land and all its features to produce detailed plans, digital data, and 3D models for design and visualisation.

We can help with:

  • Detail surveys and site plans
  • Contour mapping and site levels
  • Ground and surface modelling
  • Levels to inform Flood Assessment Certificates (required by local authorities)

Construction Surveying

Making sure things end up where they're supposed to be. We handle the accurate positioning (or setting out) of proposed buildings, structures, and infrastructure - and can certify the final location when the dust settles.

  • Residential building set-out
  • Service and utility as-builts
  • Earthworks volumes
  • Building location certificates (BLC) to satisfy council
  • Site control and level checks

What we don't do

Large scale development –

We’re only a small team and don’t have the horsepower!

Drone, UAV, laser scanning surveys –

They call this ‘reality capture’, we know this stuff but haven’t got the kit yet. We’ll get there at some point soon enough.

Charge you for big corporate overheads –

Big corporates are often not geared towards smaller projects. We won’t be charging for layers of governance.

Talk nonsense to our clients –

Delivering on our promise is important to us. There’s too much bull in the world today and we reckon that you’ll probably agree

Our story–

We’re on a mission to simplify land surveying

We’re on a mission to simplify land surveying, offering a no-BS service that gives you exactly the solution you need – and nothing you don’t. With a long history in the corporate world of land surveying, we know how things tick. So, when it came to building our own company, we knew the pain points we wanted to eliminate: over-engineered solutions, expensive price tags and promises that fall short.

Director, Lead Surveyor

With a Diploma in Civil Engineering under my belt, I started my land surveying career in the corporate world ten years ago. For five years, I skilled up in topographic and engineering surveying, horizontal infrastructure and cadastral surveys.  
Adding to this, I built my civil engineering experience, including design modelling, contract admin and construction monitoring.
With a solid technical base, I moved into a project management role, leading a team and working closely with clients to deliver their jobs. It’s here I learned that every client and job is unique and warrants a different approach. I’m all about working practically to deliver a result that’s fit for the purpose.

Questions?
Here's what you need to know –
How much does it cost to hire a land surveyor?
black arrow pointing down
Ah, the $64 million question. Except that it’s not going to be $64 million (well, it’s unlikely!). Look, the honest truth is that it varies from project to project, depending on a whole raft of factors. What we can say is that we strive for a straight up approach that keeps costs down. We’re happy to have a good chat with you (free of charge) about your project and provide you with either an hourly rate or a quote, so you know what to expect from the get-go.
Do I need a Building Location Certificate?
black arrow pointing down
If you're putting up a new building, adding an extension, or making significant alterations, your local council may require a Building Location Certificate (BLC). This is to confirm that what's been built aligns with the consented plans and doesn't sneak over boundary lines, breach setbacks or poke its head into those all-important recession planes.
Can I subdivide my property?
black arrow pointing down
Maybe! It depends on your zoning, the size of your property, and a few other factors like access, services, and council rules. We can help you figure out what’s possible, guide you through the consent process, and handle the tricky paperwork – no headaches required. Got a subdivision dream in mind? Let’s chat
