SURVEYING
Land Surveying
This involves the pegging of the boundaries and producing various reports, calculations and plans that make up the Cadastral Survey Dataset. This work must be to LINZ e-survey standards and can only be carried out by Licensed Cadastral Surveyors.
Does your unit title or cross lease plan need updating? We can apply to the council to update the plan for you or convert the cross lease titles to full fee simple titles. Fee simple titles mean less hassle of insurance or defective titles and may even increase your property value
Unit Titles are a form of strata subdivision, generally, around a completed building, undertaken in accordance with the Resource Management Act 1991 and Unit Titles Act 2010.
We can prepare all types of BOMA Surveys (or renew) of new or existing commercial offices, retail and industrial premises to determine the rentable areas – all In accordance with the PCNZ/PINZ Guide.
Need to know where your boundary is? Constructing a new fence or building close to the boundary? Our survey team can redefine your section by pegging the corners of the site. Pegs can also be offset if required. Talk to our Licensed Surveyors to discuss your specific requirements for a Cadastral Survey.
Our site surveys are carried out promptly with expert equipment and provided in the latest digital software to architects and engineers.
We work with you to offer the best survey set out methods and appropriate certificates to supply to council.

The Need for Land Surveys
When initiating a land-related project, such as construction, subdivision, or property development, uncertainties about the land's boundaries, topographic features, and legal aspects can arise. A comprehensive land survey conducted by experienced and licensed land surveyors offers a clear solution to these challenges. It provides crucial data that facilitates informed decision-making and mitigates risks throughout the project lifecycle.
For instance, in a property subdivision surveying, a cadastral surveyor clarifies boundary lines to ensure legal compliance and prevent disputes among property owners in the future.
Similarly, in a new development project, a construction survey identifies potential obstacles such as underground utilities or environmental restrictions which allows architects and engineers to adapt plans accordingly and avoid costly mistakes during construction.
Thus, land surveys play a vital role in ensuring the success and efficiency of land-related projects while minimising risks and setbacks.
Property Surveyors Auckland NZ
Property ownership in Auckland, especially in mixed housing or densely zoned areas can be fraught with uncertainties—from unclear property boundaries to disputes with neighbours. Unclear boundary lines, encroachments, disagreements over easements, or conflicting property descriptions in legal documents can lead to tension, legal battles, and financial losses for property owners. Without a clear resolution, these disputes can escalate and lead to costly legal proceedings and damage to relationships between parties.
We are professional property surveyors Auckland who offer a clear and effective solution to these disputes. If a property dispute arises due to conflicting boundary descriptions, we conduct a property survey to determine the precise location of property lines, resolve discrepancies, and provide a legally defensible boundary description. Similarly, in cases of encroachment or easement disputes, we can gather evidence, create detailed maps, and provide expert testimony to help both parties reach a fair resolution.
