• Lease Survey – Required when leasing land or commercial property.
• Amalgamation Survey – For merging two or more land parcels into one.
• Easement Survey – Identifies areas where access rights (such as driveways or utilities) exist.
• Subdivision Survey – Required when splitting land into separate lots.

Building Surveys (for house construction)

• Building Design Contour Survey – Maps the land’s surface to help with design planning.
• Earthworks Set Out – Guides excavation and land preparation for construction.
• House Set Out – Marks the exact location where a house will be built.
• AHD Benchmark Building – Establishes accurate height and level references.
• Form 12 – A compliance certificate for development approvals.

Engineering Surveys (for large infrastructure and design projects)

• Roads Infrastructure – Surveys land for road construction and upgrades.
• Commercial Construction – Surveys land for large-scale commercial buildings.
• Ground Feature Model (Pre-design) – Creates a topographical model to assist with design.
• 3D Laser Scanning (High-Precision Data Capture) – Uses advanced LiDAR and scanning technology to capture millions of data points, producing highly accurate 3D models of existing structures, terrain, and built environments. Ideal for complex infrastructure projects, deformation monitoring, heritage recording, and detailed design verification.
• Locations – Assists with mapping land features for engineering projects.

Drone Surveys (for aerial mapping, inspections, and monitoring)

• Orthomosaic – High-resolution aerial maps of large areas.
• Progress Reports – Tracks construction progress over time.
• LiDAR Survey – Uses laser scanning for detailed terrain and structure mapping.
• Building/House Inspection – Aerial inspection for structural assessments.
• Asset Inspection – Examines infrastructure, such as bridges, roads, and buildings.
• Thermal Inspection – Detects heat loss or structural issues using infrared imaging.

What we will do

You have selected an identification survey, where we will reinstate and remark existing property corners.

What we will do

You have selected an easement survey, where we will mark a proposed new easement and prepare a registerable Easement survey plan. Easements for access purposes require approval from your local authority - if you do not have a current approval, our in-house town planners can assist with the entire process.

What we will do

You have selected a lease survey. Leases may be for part of a building (eg. a retail tenancy inside a shopping centre), or a lease of land (eg. for a billboard along a major road). We will measure and define the area to be leased in accordance with the requirements for the lease type, and prepare an appropriate lease plan.

What we will do

You have selected an amalgamation survey, this is a survey to combine 2 or more existing lots into a single lot. We can completed this as a compiled amalgamation survey - a desktop survey to prepare a new survey plan that is registerable with Titles Queensland, or a field amalgamation survey - to reinstate and re-mark the external property corners, and prepare a new survey plan that is registerable with Titles Queensland.

What we will do

You have selected a subdivision survey, to reconfigure one or more existing lots into a number of new lots. Subdivisions can be in the form of standard format (land) or building format (strata title). Standard format subdivisions require Reconfiguring A Lot approval with your local authority.

What we will do

You have selected a House Set Out, where we set out the slab for trades, electrical, plumbing and other required trades. The deliverables for this set out will be:

• Survey dumpy pegs (up to 25) to set out slab and services.
• Form 12 to certifying that a building has been constructed according to the approved plans.

This is not a Boundary (Identification) survey.

What we will do

You have selected a Building Design Contour Survey, which will establish the elevation and slope of block, identify services to assist with design, recommend identification survey if required. The deliverables for this survey include:

• Contour survey in AutoCAD & PDF Format.
• AHD site datum
• Infrastructure mapping searches
• Copy of registered boundary plan.

This is not a Boundary (Identification) survey.

What we will do

You have selected an Australian Height Datum Benchmark. AHD refers to the height above mean sea level – a benchmark for height measurement across Australia. Survey includes the following deliverables:

• Peg on the property with a nail identifying the AHD Level.
• Reference stake with Benchmark details.
• Reference letter emailed confirming Benchmark level (with photo of the peg and stake on the property).

This is not a Boundary (Identification) survey.

We are unable to complete your survey

We are unable to complete this survey until you get Council approval. We recommend you contact a Town Planner. InsiteSJC offer quality town planning services. You can call them on 07 4151 6677 or CLICK HERE to continue your quote with InsiteSJC.
