• Contour and Detail Surveys:
  (80% of jobs within Urban Ipswich are $1,500 – $3,000 + GST. Can be more depending on scope and size of project)
  These surveys are essential for capturing site features, including natural ground levels, vegetation, and existing infrastructure. They support architectural design and development applications.

• Construction Set-Out Surveys: Our team ensures precise placement of buildings and infrastructure during construction, critical for compliance with approved plans and local regulations.

• Flood Level Surveys:
  Flood level surveys are required by councils to determine the lowest natural ground level and flood hazard overlays, often necessary for properties located in flood-prone areas. This service is particularly relevant in regions such as Ipswich, Somerset, Scenic Rim, and Toowoomba.

• Mapping Surveys: We provide large-scale land surveys that are ideal for land use assessments, zoning applications, and infrastructure planning. These surveys are frequently used for larger developments in regional South East Queensland.

• As-Constructed Surveys: Typically conducted after construction, these surveys map the final position of infrastructure, such as drainage systems and roads, to ensure compliance with council requirements before project sign-off.

We also offer Title Search & Survey History Research, Lease Surveys, and Certification Surveys.
