Services
Subdivision Planning
We prepare legal subdivision plans for residential, commercial, and rural properties. Our licensed surveyors ensure compliance with council regulations and manage documentation for Land Victoria registration. Services include feasibility assessments, boundary adjustments, and multi-storey development planning.
Title Re-establishment
Our team locates and verifies property boundaries using historical records and field measurements. This service resolves disputes, supports fence installations, and addresses adverse possession claims through precise surveying and documentation for legal applications.
Feature Surveys
We create detailed site condition maps showing topographical features and levels. These surveys support architectural design, infrastructure projects, and council permit applications by providing accurate existing condition data in digital formats.
Set-Out Surveys
We translate architectural designs into physical markers for construction projects. Our surveyors accurately position building footprints and infrastructure elements for residential units, commercial buildings, and industrial developments using client-supplied data.
Application Surveys
We prepare survey documentation for legal title adjustments under the Transfer of Land Act. This includes Section 60 adverse possession applications, boundary correction plans, and field records required for Land Victoria submissions.
