Precision Surveying for Seamless Commercial Projects Across Northern NSW
A set out survey is a crucial component in the construction of any commercial project. It involves the precise marking of land boundaries and the positions of proposed structures, ensuring that every element of the project is built according to the design plans. This critical process lays the foundation for successful construction, preventing costly errors and ensuring that all aspects of the project align with the approved design.

A Building or Construction Set-out Survey is required for all new developments. It defines the exact position of a proposed structure in relation to the legal boundaries of a piece of land in accordance with the plans approved by council. Key points of your design are established and marked by the survey team to guide the building process from the foundations all the way through to floor heights if required.
Ensuring that your on-site drainage system complies with the approved design is critical not only for the safety and functionality of your development but also for meeting local council and regulatory standards. Without a compliant Work As Executed (OSD) plan, your project may face delays in receiving final approvals such as the Occupation Certificate, which can significantly impact the overall project timeline.
A Work As Executed (OSD) plan typically includes vital information such as the location, dimensions, and levels of the drainage system. These details are compared to the original design to ensure that the installation matches the approved plans. Any deviations are noted and must be rectified to meet compliance standards. The plan includes key elements such as detention tanks, pits, and stormwater drainage layouts.
If you're a developer, builder, or property owner involved in a project requiring an on-site detention (OSD) system, a Work As Executed plan will be necessary to demonstrate compliance with the drainage design. These plans are essential for projects of various scales, from small residential developments to large commercial and industrial constructions.
An as-built or existing conditions survey provides an accurate and detailed floor plan that captures the current layout of a building. This plan illustrates all existing features, including fit-out elements, base building services, walls, doors, windows, and columns. Relying solely on original construction or design plans can be misleading, as they may not reflect any alterations made during or after construction. Therefore, having an up-to-date survey is essential for making informed decisions when planning a refurbishment or renovation.
At the completion of construction projects, councils often mandate a Work As Executed (WAE) or As-Built Survey, which must be conducted and certified by a Registered Surveyor. This type of survey is essential for verifying that the completed work aligns with the approved design plans. It involves comparing the planned positions and elevations with the actual constructed locations and levels of key elements such as roads, driveways, stormwater systems, sewer lines, and other infrastructure components.
