Professional survey expertise is the foundation of every successful project
Whether you're developing land, constructing a building, redefining a boundary, or requiring legal certification, experienced surveying and subdivision expertise provides the foundation for our projects success.
Our experienced land surveyors deliver precise, reliable information that supports every stage of a project, from early planning and concept design through to construction and legal completion.

Surveying Questions
Depending on the size of your property and project and availability of historical data survey costs can vary greatly. We provide an estimate of survey costs at the start of a project.
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. This is a core part of the services we provide. Land surveyors also undertake a wide range of other survey work required as an integral part of a development project.
