Question 1

What Is the Difference Between a Land Survey and a Boundary Survey?

Accepted Answer

A boundary survey differs from a land survey in that a land survey is used to measure property boundaries and locate natural or artificial features of the land. A boundary survey may be used in conjunction with a land survey to map the property but is specifically used to mark the boundaries of the land.

Question 2

Do I Need a Boundary Survey?

Accepted Answer

A boundary survey may be needed when there is uncertainty about a property line, during a property dispute, or where clear boundaries are covered by trees and other land features.

Question 3

How do surveyors determine boundaries in Australia?

Accepted Answer

Sydney land surveyors determine boundaries using advanced technologies that include high order GPS, Robotic Total Stations, AutoCAD, and aerial and terrestrial scanners. Each tool is used to help calculate computations, map out measurements, and capture photos for documentation.

Because land buyers and owners often want confirmation of land boundaries surveys before purchasing, dividing, modifying, or building, a boundary survey is the best method of establishing property limits to clearly identify the metes and bounds of the land.

Question 4

What Does a Land Surveyor Do in Australia?

A land surveyor uses various equipment to measure property boundaries, locate natural or artificial features of the land, and stake out the position of the corners and boundaries. This information is then mapped to create a property survey.

Question 5

How much does a surveyor cost in NSW?

How much is the land area? Size is a significant factor in calculating your surveying costs.

Are there other physical aspects of property? Expect higher surveying rates for properties in mountainous areas.
