How We Work

Clear process, one point of contact, from first call to new titles

The Approach

One point of contact

You deal with the surveyor responsible for your project, start to finish. On larger developments we coordinate the wider team and you still have one point of contact

A network behind us

Where a matter sits outside our field, we draw on trusted planners, engineers and consultants to put the right person in front of you

Clear from the start

Written fee proposals, realistic timeframes and honest advice, including being frank if a project isn't going to stack up

The Process

Every job runs through the same clear stages. Smaller jobs stop after the survey phase. Subdivisions carry through to new titles

Phase 1: Getting started
  1. Initial discussion

    A call or site visit to understand what you want to achieve, and whether it stacks up

  2. Fee proposal

    A written scope and fee, so you know exactly what you are paying for before work begins

Phase 2: Survey
  1. Research and boundary calculation

    Searching the survey records and titles, and calculating where your boundaries truly lie

  2. Fieldwork

    Measuring features and marking boundaries using survey-grade GNSS and total station equipment

  3. Data processing

    Reducing the field measurements into precise survey data for issue

  4. Plans and reports

    Topographic, set-out, scheme, or boundary marking plan, prepared for you, your designer and council as the job requires

Phase 3: Consents and approvals
  1. Resource consent

    Preparing and lodging the subdivision application with council

  2. Consent conditions

    Working through the conditions council attaches to its approval

  3. Detailed design

    Roading, water, wastewater and stormwater design to satisfy consent conditions

  4. Engineering approval

    Council sign-off on the engineering design before construction starts

(Subdivision projects)

Phase 4: Construction and titles

(Subdivision projects)

  1. Construction

    Civil works built to the approved design, with set-out and as-built surveys along the way

  2. New boundaries

    Placing the new boundary marks and preparing the title plan and record of survey for LINZ

  3. Council certification

    Section 223 approval of the title plan, and section 224(c) certification that the conditions of consent have been met

  4. New titles

    The title plan and record of survey is submitted to LINZ together with your solicitor's documents, the survey is deposited and your new titles are issued
