Frequently Asked Questions

  • How is a construction survey different from other surveys?

    A construction survey translates architectural or engineering designs into real-world site marks. It involves physically pegging out the location of proposed buildings, roads, utilities or other infrastructure according to approved plans. This ensures everything is built in the correct position and elevation. Construction surveys may include checks like slab level verification, setouts for columns or services, and floor height compliance. It's a key part of quality assurance during a build and helps prevent costly mistakes or non-compliance with design approvals.

  • What is a detail and level survey?

    A detail and level survey combines topographic data with surrounding contextual information, such as neighbouring property details, road features and street levels. It helps capture a broader understanding of the site for planning or design purposes. This survey type is often used in urban developments where the relationship between properties is important. Architects and planners rely on this data for designing buildings that align with streetscape, drainage or height regulations. The accuracy and depth of the survey make it valuable for both small and large-scale projects.

  • Why are easements important in land surveys?

    Easements are legal rights allowing others to access or use part of your land—commonly for services like water, sewer or electricity. Surveys identify existing easements that may restrict building locations or land use. Understanding easements is essential before starting construction, subdividing land, or purchasing property. A land survey will show the dimensions, locations, and impacts of any easements, helping property owners avoid breaching legal boundaries or service provider requirements. Knowing where they lie helps prevent costly surprises or development delays.
