Who we are

The survey team behind Queensland’s biggest builds

Founded on the Fraser Coast in 1996, Surveyors at Work has grown into one of regional Queensland’s most capable survey firms. In any given week our teams are setting out slabs for local builders and acting as lead project surveyors on nationally significant road, rail, mining and health infrastructure. That range keeps our people sharp, our technology current, and our service grounded in the community we’re part of.

What we do

Complete survey capability, one trusted team

From the largest infrastructure projects to the block next door — six core disciplines, delivered to the standards government and industry demand.

Flagship

Major Projects & Civil Infrastructure

Lead project surveying for road, bridge, rail, defence and mining infrastructure — control, set-out, machine control, conformance and as-constructed.

Construction Survey

High-level survey support embedded with your project team — earthworks, major commercial buildings, subdivisions and infrastructure.

For builders

Building Survey

Fast, accurate contour surveys, house & building set-out, earthworks, AHD benchmarks and Form 12 — the work we do for the region’s builders every week.

Cadastral Survey

Registered cadastral surveyors — subdivisions, amalgamations, lease, volumetric, easement and identification surveys.

3D Laser Scanning

State-of-the-art scanning of structures and terrain — point clouds, mesh models, DTMs, cross-sections, volumes and 3D models.

CASA certified

Drone / UAV Survey

Aerial imagery and LiDAR for mapping, inspection and monitoring — orthomosaics, DTMs, contour maps, volumes and asset reports.
