Site Survey
A site survey maps & determines the suitability for building on a site and is completed by a registered surveyor.
A surveyor is a licensed professional who measures and maps the environment. In the residential construction industry, a surveyor can provide several services such as providing a site survey or surveyors report:
A site survey can contain the following information:
- Site area size.
- Property lines.
- Locations of existing and adjoining structures.
- Site contours/slopes.
- Trees
- Flood information (if applicable).
- Non-structural information (location of fences, retaining walls etc)
- Access information (roads, driveways, etc.)
- Easements.
- North Point.
- Services locations.
A site survey is required to:
- Locate, mark out property boundary lines and calculate the site area & building envelope
- Determine site contours prior to construction
- Locate site services locations. Eg. Sewer line
- Obtain a Development Approval or Building Permit
- For Subdivisions
- For a designer to produce a site plan
Surveyors play a key role to ensure that a building project can gain approval for construction.
To obtain a quote for surveyors, simply select the add-on during the check-out process with any design purchase on MyPropHub or directly from local surveyors.
