Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Title Boundary Survey?
A title boundary survey clearly identifies and marks the legal boundaries of your property. This is essential for property transactions, fencing disputes, or ensuring new construction is accurately positioned within your land limits.
When do I need a Detail and Level Survey?
You typically need this survey before designing a new home or major renovation. It provides architects with precise information on site features, terrain contours, and existing structures required for DA or CDC applications.
What is the difference between Subdivision and Strata?
Land subdivision divides a larger parcel into smaller separate titles. Strata subdivision allows for individual ownership of units within a building or complex while defining common property managed by an owners corporation.
How long does a standard residential survey take?
Field work for a standard boundary or detail survey usually takes 2-4 hours. Following the field visit, our team completes calculations and drafting with final certified plans typically delivered within 3-5 business days.
