Frequently Asked Questions about Land Surveying
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.
How much does a surveyor cost in NSW?
The cost of land surveying in Sydney begins at $170 per hour, however, these costs can vary depending on your land’s size, shape, and location. Among that factors that can influence the total surveying costs include:
Where is the location?
The location of the property affects the price the most. One can anticipate higher fees if the property has a lot of inclines, trees, plants, or cannot be easily accessed.
How much is the land area?
Size is a significant factor in calculating your surveying costs.
What is the measurement and shape?
Standard rectangular blocks are much more affordable to survey because bounds that cannot easily be seen or accessed are more difficult to assess and report on.
Are there other physical aspects of property?
Expect higher surveying rates for properties in mountainous areas.
What Is the Difference Between a Land Survey and a Boundary Survey?
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.
