Land Surveying

Land Surveying is the measurement and mapping of the surrounding environment using specialised technology and equipment. Surveyors measure just about anything on the land, in the sky or on the ocean bed.

A modern society depends on Surveying to ensure order in the physical world around us. Without Surveyors, we would not know where to position roads, build homes or develop cities.

Surveying also frames the work of architecture and engineering. It is integral to sustainable land development.
Surveyors use satellite imagery, GPS, laser scanners, total stations and mapping software to measure things and represent them in two and three dimensional plans. They work on a diverse variety of projects from land subdivision and mining exploration, to tunnel building and major infrastructure construction.

Land Surveyors work individually and in teams, plus liaise with an extended network of professionals such as engineers, urban planners and architects.

Surveyors are indispensable to the world we live in. Their work is the first step in bringing new developments to life and the basis of all property titles.

A Licensed or Registered Land Surveyor is the only person who is legally authorised to determine land or Cadastral boundaries. They perform the following tasks:

Apply the laws & procedures relating to land ownership, boundaries and titles when undertaking surveying work;
Accurately determine the positions of boundaries where land is subdivided, bought or sold
Plan, develop & redevelop urban planning, land and buildings
Manage and execute projects from, design through to approval and construction for development in urban, rural and regional areas
Utilise cutting-edge technology such as GPS and laser technology in performing the above tasks
