What is a streetscape survey?

This new level of the ResCode survey has been requested by the council when a planning permit is required or for subdivisions. The streetscape survey includes the outline of neighbouring buildings, a description and street setback measurement in a 50 metre radius from the subject site.

Do you do re-establishment of title boundaries?

Unfortunately, no. We are restricted from doing this cadastral licensed surveyor work ourselves. However, if your survey includes a ResCode/feature/building set out the survey, we can sub-contract a licensed surveyor and organise the re-establishment of title boundaries together with the survey as one project for you. This can often be a more efficient process. Send us an email for a quote.

Do you do subdivisions?

Unfortunately, no. We specialise in more land and engineering surveying (not cadastral surveying). So, we can focus on smaller jobs, efficient turnaround and more flexibility to fit in urgent jobs for builders and clients. You will need a licensed surveyor to do the subdivision part of your project. However, we can often fast track your subdivision process for you by getting the feature/ResCode/streetscape survey started earlier and forward this information on to any licensed surveyor.

What is the turnaround?

We endeavour to provide a completed survey one week from receiving go ahead. We attend within the week and provide a plan shortly thereafter by email and post.

How long does a quote take?

We endeavour to reply to your quote enquiry within 24 hours because we want your work. Send us an email with the details of the survey you require, your contact name, site address and we will email you back with our easy to understand simple quote form. If acceptable, all you have to do to proceed, is check and sign the quote and return to us giving authority to proceed. Have a look at our example surveys online www.geelongsurveysolutions.com.au to see the types you require.

Do you provide the AutoCAD drawing file?

Yes, we email you the AutoCAD drawing file which you can forward to architects/designers/builders. They can use this accurately to scale information and overlay plans on top of the site.
