04Who we work with
The right survey depends on who is asking.
Building, fencing, extending, buying or selling.
Know where your boundaries are before you build, fix a defective cross lease title, or convert to freehold before you sell.
Accurate base data for design and consent.
Topographic plans in DWG and PDF, spot roof heights and HIRB calculations, so your design starts from the site as it really is.
Setout, levels and as-builts on programme.
Survey control and setout for buildings, roading and drainage, as-built plans to council standards and earthworks volumes for monthly claims.
From feasibility study to new titles.
Feasibility, scheme design, consents, engineering, s223 and s224(c) certification and LINZ lodgement, handled by one team.
Rentable areas measured to PCNZ 2023.
Certified BOMA surveys for office, retail and industrial premises, plus unit title plans for strata buildings.
Titles, easements and covenants.
We work with your solicitor on easements and covenants for rights of way, services and overhangs, and on cross lease and unit title plans.

We recently had a boundary survey carried out and had a great experience. Communication was excellent, with quick responses to any questions along the way. Aruna, who carried out the work on site, was fantastic to deal with.

Can you handle urgent survey requests?
Yes, depending on our current workload. Call us directly to discuss your requirements and timeline.
What information should I provide for a survey?
Usually a copy of your property’s legal description, any previous survey records you have, and a clear outline of what you need surveyed. We will let you know if anything else is required for your project.
Do you provide reports or documentation after the survey?
Yes. We provide detailed reports, plans and digital data as required, prepared to meet the requirements of council, developers and anyone else involved in your project.
What is a cadastral survey, and why might I need one?
A cadastral survey determines and defines property boundaries. It is essential for establishing ownership, resolving boundary disputes and developing new structures, and is a legal requirement when subdividing so every party has a clear, accurate property description.
What happens if a boundary dispute arises?
Our licensed surveyors resolve boundary questions with factual survey data. We can provide mediation support and detailed reports that can be used in legal proceedings.
Do you help with resource consents?
Yes. We prepare and submit the documentation needed for resource consents and work closely with council so your application meets the required standards.
How can I make sure my new build complies?
We provide site analysis and building setout that follow local zoning and building rules, plus certificates and documentation you can submit to council to confirm compliance.
What are the benefits of 3D scanning?
3D laser scanning captures highly accurate data quickly, even in complex environments and structures. It is invaluable for redesign, construction and documenting existing features precisely.
