Professional Surveying Services in Ultimo
Ultimo's rapid transformation from industrial suburb to mixed-use innovation precinct creates distinctive surveying challenges. Our professional surveyors understand this inner-city area where former warehouses and industrial sites meet contemporary residential towers, the UTS campus, and tech sector developments. Operating within the City of Sydney council area, we deliver surveys for Ultimo's unique mix of heritage conversions, residential developments, and institutional projects. The suburb's proximity to Darling Harbour, major infrastructure including the Light Rail, and ongoing renewal projects means surveyors here work on everything from converted industrial buildings to major apartment developments and educational facilities. Ultimo's industrial heritage means many sites have complex title histories, unusual boundary configurations from manufacturing-era subdivisions, and contamination or services constraints requiring careful documentation. Whether you're developing a former warehouse site, subdividing a new residential building, or commissioning survey work for UTS campus expansion, our team delivers the technical expertise and local knowledge essential for Ultimo's evolving urban environment.
Our Services in Ultimo
Boundary Surveys
Boundary surveys in Ultimo often involve former industrial sites with unusual lot configurations, properties affected by recent urban renewal, and sites near major infrastructure. We establish boundaries for converted warehouse properties, survey lots consolidated for apartment developments, and address boundary issues where historical industrial uses have left complex title arrangements. Work includes coordinating with Light Rail infrastructure, establishing boundaries affected by road widening for Ultimo's renewal, and surveying properties with easements serving former industrial operations. Our experience includes boundaries near the UTS campus, residential conversions of industrial buildings, and new subdivisions on consolidated former factory sites.
Learn MoreDetail Surveys
Detail surveys across Ultimo support development applications for urban renewal projects, warehouse conversions, and residential developments. We survey former industrial sites documenting existing structures and contamination investigation requirements, capture existing conditions for heritage industrial building conversions, and map vacant or underutilized sites for residential or mixed-use development. Surveys include existing levels, services infrastructure, easements affecting development potential, and constraints including Light Rail proximity and heritage items. Our work supports architects and developers navigating Ultimo's transition from industrial to mixed-use precinct.
Learn MoreSubdivision Surveys
Subdivision work in Ultimo includes strata subdivision of new apartment buildings, warehouse conversion strata plans, and consolidation of former industrial lots for major developments. We prepare plans for residential tower strata schemes, mixed-use building subdivisions incorporating ground-floor commercial, and occasional industrial site strata subdivisions. Projects often require addressing easements from industrial-era uses, coordinating with infrastructure including stormwater and Light Rail, and managing minimum lot sizes for urban renewal areas. Experience includes large-scale residential subdivisions and complex mixed-use strata arrangements.
Learn MoreSetout Surveys
Construction set-out in Ultimo serves residential tower construction, warehouse conversion fit-outs, and infrastructure projects. We establish control for multi-storey residential buildings, set out basement excavations on former industrial sites, and provide survey control for civil works supporting urban renewal. Work includes coordination with Light Rail infrastructure, managing set-out near heritage industrial structures, and establishing building positions for developments on consolidated lots.
Learn MoreIdentification Surveys
Identification surveys resolve boundary uncertainties for former industrial properties undergoing conversion, establish boundaries for sites with complex title histories, and support property transactions in Ultimo's renewal areas. We locate original marks on sites redeveloped from industrial uses, re-establish boundaries where historical operations have obscured survey evidence, and identify encroachments or easement issues affecting development potential. Common scenarios include warehouse conversions requiring boundary clarification and residential developments on consolidated industrial land.
Learn MoreEngineering Surveys
Engineering surveys support major infrastructure projects, residential construction, and services upgrades across Ultimo's renewal areas. We provide survey control for Light Rail coordination, monitor existing buildings during nearby major construction, establish control for stormwater and utilities serving new developments, and survey complex underground services on former industrial sites.
Learn MoreAbout Ultimo
Ultimo sits immediately west of the Sydney CBD within the City of Sydney LGA, bounded by Darling Harbour, Broadway, and Harris Street. Once dominated by industrial uses including warehouses, manufacturing, and the former ABC site, the suburb is undergoing significant urban renewal. Current land use includes the UTS campus, residential apartment towers, converted industrial buildings, and remaining commercial/light industrial properties. The Light Rail and proximity to Central Station drive development interest. Heritage industrial buildings mix with contemporary high-rise residential construction.
