Not sure which one fits your project? Pick the closest match, or just send us your site address and we will point you the right way.

BOUNDARIES

Cadastral surveying

Mark, define or redefine your legal boundaries and prepare survey plans for titles.

Best if you are buying, building, fencing or settling a boundary dispute.

LEVEL AND FEATURES

Topographic survey

A measured site plan showing contours, levels and existing features.

Best if you are designing a build, applying for consent or setting out works.

LARGE OR COMPLEX SITES

Aerial and drone survey

Fast, high-detail mapping and 3D models of large or hard to reach land.

Best if you have a big site, steep terrain or need volumes and monitoring.

CREATING NEW LOTS

Subdivision survey

Scheme plans and survey work to split one title into new lots, start to finish.

Best if you want to subdivide. See our subdivision service →

OUR EXPERTISE

Accurate data your project can be built on

Surveying is more than measuring land. It is the reliable base every consent, design and build depends on. Here is what our Auckland and Northland team handles.

Cadastral surveying

Boundaries, titles and legal plans.

Boundary marking and redefinition. Precisely mark and define property boundaries for construction, subdivision or to resolve a dispute.
Easement surveys. Define and document rights of use over a property for access or utilities, so rights and responsibilities are clear.
Cross-lease and unit title surveys. Update or convert titles for properties split into multiple units, protecting value and legal clarity.

Topographic surveying

Site plans, levels and contours.

Building set-out and certification. Establish exact building positions for construction approval and compliance with local planning rules.
Height in relation to boundary. Verify building heights against boundaries to meet zoning and site specific requirements.
Levelling and monitoring surveys. Record land movement to inform construction safety, useful near reclaimed or unstable ground.
As-built surveys. Document the exact position of new infrastructure to Auckland Council standards once work is complete.

Aerial surveying

Drone mapping and 3D models.

Speed. Drones cover large areas in a fraction of the time of ground-based survey, which saves cost on bigger sites.
Detail. High-resolution imagery and precise measurement for close analysis and planning.
Safety. Access difficult or hazardous areas without putting a surveyor at risk.
Versatility. One dataset supports topographic mapping, construction monitoring, volumes and environmental assessment.

Frequently asked questions

How much does land surveying cost?

It depends on your project. The main factors are property size, terrain and access, the type of survey, and how much existing survey data is on record.

Send us your site address and what you need and we will give you a real price, not a guess.

When do I need a land surveyor?

A survey is usually worth it any time boundaries, levels or titles matter. Common triggers are:

Buying or selling property
Building, renovating or subdividing
Fencing near a boundary
Resolving a boundary dispute

Getting it right early usually saves money and avoids legal headaches later.

How long does a survey take?

Timeframes vary by job. Field work on a straightforward site can be quick, while complex or large sites and council processing take longer. We give you an honest timeframe with your quote so you can plan around it.

Which areas do you cover?

We survey across Auckland, the North Shore, Rodney and Northland up to Whangarei, working from our offices in Red Beach and Mangawhai. If you are not sure whether your site is in range, just ask.
