Two Construction Workers Are Looking at A Blueprint on A Table — Duggan Mather Surveyors in Taylors Beach, NSW

Hunter Region Construction Surveyor

From the foundation to the final roofline, one wrong measurement can trigger costly rework or cause compliance headaches. That’s why builders, developers and contractors across the Hunter Region trust Duggan Mather Surveyors to deliver accurate, on-time construction surveys.


A construction surveyor physically marks the points where a new building or structure is to be positioned. The marks set by our team will accurately match the design and regulations identified in your plans. Our construction survey services include bulk earthworks set outs, building set outs plus floor and roof height compliance surveys.


Floor and roof height compliance surveys are usually carried out to confirm the height of floor slabs or roof heights to the Australian Height Datum, or the local council’s standard of ground level. Our surveyors will help you determine ground level before any design or construction work commences. This will help you identify if your site has any limitations to combat.


If you want a smooth start to your next project, call 02 4919 0293 and get it right from the ground up.

Keep Your Projects on Track

Construction surveying takes the guesswork out of building. Whether it’s a single home, commercial site or multi-unit development, we align everything to your approved plans and ensure your site is ready to build on.


Our team also checks floor and roof levels against the Australian Height Datum or local council benchmarks. This gives you peace of mind that your build is within planning regulations—and helps avoid unwanted surprises during final inspections. We flag elevation issues early so they can be designed around, not dealt with after the fact.


  • Bulk earthworks & foundation layouts
  • Floor & roof height verification
  • Construction-ready plans & markers


There’s no room for error in construction. Get clear setouts and expert guidance to keep your project running smoothly.

  • Why is construction surveying important for builders?

    Construction surveys help prevent costly mistakes by ensuring the structure is placed exactly where it should be. Builders rely on these surveys for accurate positioning, height checks, and boundary confirmation. Without this data, there’s a greater risk of breaching council rules, encroaching on neighbouring lots or needing to redo parts of the build due to misalignment.

  • When should I schedule a construction survey?

    Ideally, a construction survey should be done after you receive council approval and before earthworks or foundations begin. Early surveys ensure everything is set up correctly before materials are ordered or trades arrive on-site. You may also need additional surveys during the project, such as when checking slab height or roof elevation compliance.
