Survey

A surveyor is contracted to carry out the following items prior to commencement of any drawings

1. When you are purchasing a block of land a surveyor would be contracted to check survey location to ensure you are purchasing the correct plot of land
2. You will require for the Architect / Building Designer a Contour map of your land. A Contour map will provide you with Relative Levels (RL's) to usually above mean sea level. This Contour map allows the Architect / Building Designer to position the home or project in a position and to allow for cut and fill requirements for excavation of the site alleviating excessive removal or supply of soil to the site, hence minimising the cost of the excavation process
3. They will mark out the boundaries to exact or offset
4. For larger sites, it's advisable to setout to the XY grid lines A to Z and 1,2,3,4,5, etc
