Supporting Local Projects with Precision

Working on a property in Maitland comes with its own set of challenges—whether it’s older blocks in established suburbs, new developments or semi-rural lots. That’s why we tailor every land survey to suit the location, the layout and your project goals.


We’ll assess site features like trees, fencing, driveways and terrain, along with nearby boundaries and infrastructure. This data gives your architect or planner exactly what they need to create smart, compliant designs from the start. We use modern equipment to ensure every measurement is accurate, and every plan meets council expectations. Throughout the process, we’ll keep you informed and explain what each part of the survey means in real terms.


What sets us apart is our approachable service and commitment to helping you move forward with confidence. Whether you’re building for the first time or managing multiple projects, we’re here to make the survey process straightforward. Get in touch with our team today to get started.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are the costs involved in surveying?

    Surveying costs vary based on property size, location, complexity and the type of survey required. For example, a boundary re-mark on a residential block might cost a few hundred dollars, while detailed development or subdivision surveys could run into several thousand. Additional costs can arise if historical records are incomplete, if site conditions are challenging, or if multiple visits are required. A reputable surveyor will provide a clear quote upfront and explain what’s included, helping you plan around your budget and project goals.

  • What is an environmental survey, and when is it needed?

    An environmental survey assesses a parcel of land for potential environmental impacts or constraints. This might include identifying wetlands, flood zones, protected vegetation, heritage areas or contamination. These surveys are typically required as part of development applications or planning approvals, especially for larger or environmentally sensitive sites. An environmental survey ensures your project complies with local, state and federal environmental regulations. It also helps developers make informed decisions about land use, minimising risk of legal or planning issues down the track. Surveyors may collaborate with ecologists or environmental planners during this process.

  • What is a planning survey?

    A planning survey gathers spatial and legal information to support planning applications, rezoning proposals or land development strategies. It combines elements of boundary, topographic, easement and zoning data to provide a complete picture of what’s possible on the land. This type of survey helps town planners and developers meet council requirements, determine land capability and assess compliance with local planning schemes. It’s particularly useful when looking to change land use, increase housing density or subdivide. The planning survey forms part of the broader submission for development approval.
