Step 1: Title & Survey Searches
As a minimum these items need to be purchased upfront.
a current title search,
an original survey plan of your lot,
a Smart Map
In new subdivision areas, this may be all you require, and your solicitor may have purchased this information for you already. If you are in an older area, a survey parcel history report may be required, in order to find additional and more recent survey information available.
NOTE: Every survey plan and identification survey plan prepared by a Surveyor in Qld, are lodged and recorded, and available at the Department of Natural Resources & Mines (DNRM), which can be used to help reinstate the physical boundaries.
Step 2: Office Calculations
Once the survey plan/s have been purchased, the surveyor compiles this information from angles & distances shown on the plans into lines & points in CAD. This can be used as a base file for preliminary survey in the field.
Step 3: Field Survey
A field survey requires the surveyor to locate and measure relevant reference and corner marks. This may require traversing as far as necessary in order to find enough marks or physical evidence to reinstate the boundary lines required. Once these measurements are compared to original measurements, the boundaries can be marked if they agree, or recalculated based on the surveyors judgement of the evidence.
NOTE: Vegetation at boundary corners or along fence lines, difficult access to corners and lines, limited line of site, steep terrain, level of accuracy required, purpose of the survey, are all factors that determine how long the survey may take. Providing this information will greatly assist in preparing an accurate estimate of fees.
Step 4: Plan Preparations
If survey pegs or other corner marks have been placed as a result of the survey, a Boundary Identification Survey plan must be prepared and signed, as a record of cadastral survey. The plan is lodged with the Dept of Natural Resources & Mines. The complexity of the plan, and extent of survey determines the cost to produce.
