Strata Title Surveys
Our strata title survey services include unit entitlement calculations, common area delineation, and plan preparation for multi-ownership developments. We handle both new constructions and existing building conversions. Our Registered Surveyors ensure all legal and technical requirements are met for seamless property registration and ownership transitions.
Engineering Surveys
We provide engineering survey support for infrastructure projects like road construction and airport upgrades. Our services include site establishment, as-constructed records, and alignment verification. Recent projects include the Ulverstone Bypass and Devonport Airport carpark reconstruction, demonstrating our capability in both small and large-scale works.

We prepare comprehensive development applications with detailed survey plans and supporting documentation. Our team understands local government requirements and assists clients through the rezoning and approval process. This includes estate development layouts and infrastructure compliance assessments to ensure successful project outcomes.
Feature & Level Surveys
Our feature and level surveys capture detailed ground contours and existing structures for planning purposes. Using RTK GPS technology, we produce accurate digital terrain models and 2D/3D plans. These surveys form the foundation for engineering designs, drainage studies, and construction planning across diverse project types.
