Contour Survey

Project Overview

A Contour Survey (also known as a Detail Survey or Topographic Survey) depicts the features and structures on and around a parcel of land.
The quantity of information displayed varies based on the user’s needs, but it can include the location of buildings, windows, driveways, walls, trees, and natural surface features such as watercourses, embankments, rock outcrops, and contours.

A Contour Survey is needed for a number of reasons.
It is typically submitted with a Development Application (DA) to Council or as a provision to an Architect or Engineer for building and infrastructure design. Flood studies, comprehensive landscape design, and structural engineering may also necessitate it.

Our surveys are as unique as each land parcel.
To make the procedure as simple as possible, we customize each survey to your individual needs and give easy-to-read plans and well-structured CAD models.

The Contour Survey Methodology

  • Determine the goal and scope of the survey, as well as the survey cost.
  • Site survey and measurements will be performed during this visit.
  • Calculations in the office, plan writing, and quality assurance
  • Contour Survey plan distribution in electronic (PDF and DWG) formats.
