Clear Insights, Confident Decisions
Clear Insights That Drive Smart Decisions
Why Construction Surveying Matters
Our land surveyors provide the data and clarity you need to avoid costly mistakes, keep projects on track, and deliver results you can stand behind. From civil works to detailed building layouts, we bring precision and confidence to every stage of your build.
Accuracy & Precision
Our detailed site surveys use advanced tools to ensure every structure is positioned exactly to design specifications. That means no discrepancies or reworks, only clear reference points that keep your crews moving with confidence. Whether it’s a high-rise, subdivision, or residential build, precision is built into every survey we deliver.
Cost & Efficiency
Delays and errors are expensive, but they’re avoidable with the right data. Our construction set-outs and verification surveys confirm conditions on-site before work begins, preventing costly mistakes. By giving you reliable measurements and control points, we help allocate resources smarter, streamline workflows, and keep projects within budget and on schedule.
Safety & Compliance
Our construction and design surveys are designed to protect both your project and your people. Through site analysis and boundary surveys, we identify hazards like unstable ground or underground utilities before they pose a risk. We also ensure every project aligns with council requirements and building codes, so you can move forward with confidence knowing compliance is covered.
Quality & Risk Management
We make sure construction aligns with approved plans at every stage. This safeguards the integrity of your structure and reduces the chance of disputes or defects. By highlighting risks early (flood-prone land or unstable soil) we give you the foresight to act before problems escalate. Plus, the accurate data we deliver becomes a trusted reference for future stages of your project and long-term maintenance.

Frequently asked questions

What types of construction projects require surveying?
Most construction projects require some form of surveying, from residential homes to large commercial developments and urban planning.
Set-out surveys ensure buildings are positioned correctly, whilst as-built surveys provide final documentation for council compliance and adherence to zoning laws.
Civil works such as roads, drainage systems, and subdivisions rely on engineering surveys for accurate design, construction, and compliance with local planning and zoning laws.
How long does a construction survey take?
The duration of a survey depends on the size and complexity of the project. A simple residential set-out survey usually takes a few hours, while comprehensive site surveys for large developments may take several days. We provide realistic timeframes during your initial consultation and work efficiently to keep your project on schedule.
What's the difference between set-out and as-built surveys?
Set-out surveys mark the planned position of structures before construction begins, ensuring everything is located according to approved plans. As-built surveys document the final positions and dimensions after construction is complete, providing accurate records for council compliance and future reference.
Do you work with all types of construction sites?
Yes. We provide construction surveying services for residential homes, commercial buildings, industrial developments, civil infrastructure, and subdivisions. Our team has experience across small renovations, large-scale developments, and everything in between throughout the Sunshine Coast.
What equipment do you use for construction surveys?
We use advanced, professional-grade equipment to ensure maximum accuracy and reliability. This laser scanning technology for aerial surveying, total stations for precise measurements, RTK GNSS systems for accurate positioning, and 3D laser scanning for detailed site documentation and land surveying.

What is a construction surveyor?
A construction surveyor is a licensed professional who plays a critical role in the success of any building project. They measure, map, and monitor land, structures, and construction sites to ensure projects are built accurately, safely, and in compliance with local regulations and zoning laws.
Construction surveyors provide essential data for set-out surveys, which mark the precise location of structures before construction begins, and as-built surveys, which document the final positions and dimensions once work is complete. They also conduct engineering and civil surveys for infrastructure projects such as road construction, drainage, and subdivisions.
By delivering reliable, precise information at every stage, construction surveyors help builders, developers, and architects avoid costly errors, ensure regulatory compliance, and make informed decisions throughout the project lifecycle.
Are construction surveys required by law?
While requirements vary depending on project type and local council regulations, many construction projects, including residential, commercial, and civil developments, require surveys to meet compliance standards, verify boundaries, and ensure structures are correctly positioned.
Do I need a construction survey for renovations or extensions?
Yes, even renovations and extensions often require surveys. Set-out surveys ensure the new work aligns with existing structures and approved plans, while as-built surveys provide accurate records for council compliance and future reference. Having precise survey data helps avoid costly mistakes and legal disputes.
