Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a contour survey?

    A contour survey maps the elevation and slope of a parcel of land by recording its vertical height at various points. This creates a set of contour lines on a plan, showing how the land rises or falls. Builders, architects and engineers use these surveys to understand how terrain affects construction or drainage. Councils may require a contour survey for development applications, especially on sloped or irregular blocks. It helps guide earthworks, retaining wall placement and stormwater design, ensuring buildings work with the landscape rather than against it.

  • What are site setouts, and why are they important?

    Site setouts involve marking where structures or infrastructure will be located on a construction site, based on architectural and engineering drawings. Surveyors use plans to determine exact coordinates and then mark points on the ground for foundations, walls, columns, service trenches and more. Accurate setouts ensure the building is constructed in the right position and meets local setback or zoning requirements. Mistakes at this stage can lead to costly rework or non-compliance, so precision is key. Surveyors also revisit the site to verify completed work or mark additional features.

  • How accurate are modern land surveys?

    Modern surveys can achieve millimetre-level accuracy thanks to advances in GPS, total stations and digital modelling tools. The level of accuracy depends on the purpose of the survey—for example, construction setouts require higher precision than a broad topographic overview. Licensed surveyors follow strict industry standards to ensure measurements meet legal and technical requirements. Accuracy is also influenced by the equipment used, environmental conditions, and reference data such as control marks or title plans. Clients can expect survey reports to be dependable, consistent and highly reliable.
