Land Surveying Services in Brisbane
Boundary, detail, subdivision and set-out surveys for Brisbane homes and building projects. Start with what you need to do next and we'll help you pick the right survey.

Boundary Surveys
Locates your legal property boundaries before you fence, extend or build near the line. The survey can cover just the boundary you need, with marks and an Identification Survey Plan as quoted.
LEARN MORE
Detail Surveys
Records what's on your site now, such as buildings, trees, kerbs and levels, so your architect or designer starts from the ground as it is. Often combined with contours in one survey.
LEARN MORE
Subdivision Surveys
Survey work for splitting a block, from proposal plans and lot calculations to marking new lots and final survey plans. The stage you're at decides which survey you need next.
LEARN MORE
Construction Set-Out
Marks where new work goes on site, with reference levels, from your approved plans so construction starts in the right place. Set-out can cover the building stages you need.
LEARN MORENot sure which survey fits? If your designer wants ground levels and slope, ask for a contour survey, which is often combined with detail work. If your certifier wants survey certification for parts of your build, that's a Form 12 certification survey, checked against your approved plans. Marking out new work before it's built is set-out, which is a separate job.

What Helps Us Quote Your Survey
Most jobs start with a simple question: where's my boundary, what levels does my designer need, or what has my certifier asked for? Tell us that along with the property address and we can work out the right survey.
If you have them, send your approved plans (the current revision for set-out or Form 12 work), your certifier's request, and your designer's notes on the area and file types they need. Mention anything that affects access, like locked gates, dogs or tenants.
Not sure what to ask for? Call and describe the project in your own words. We'll ask a few questions and put your quote together.

Land Surveyors for Brisbane Homes and Building Projects
City Surveyors Brisbane provides land surveys for Brisbane homeowners, builders, designers and developers. That might mean a detail survey so your architect can start drawing, survey work for a subdivision as each stage comes up, or construction set-out marks so slabs, footings and walls go where the approved plans put them.
Boundary Surveys in Brisbane
A boundary survey shows where your legal property boundaries sit on the ground, so you can build a fence, extension or retaining wall knowing where the line is. It can cover the whole property or just the boundary you need, such as the front. Depending on the quote, the work can include title and plan searches, finding existing marks, placing boundary or reference marks, and an Identification Survey Plan showing how structures sit against the boundary. Ground levels aren't included, so design work may also need contours.


What You Get When You Book a Survey
A survey matched to the project. If you only need the front boundary located for a new fence, that's what gets quoted. If your designer needs levels across the whole block, the survey covers that instead.
A quote that spells it out. Your quote lists the work, site visits and the plans, marks or certificate included, so you know what you're getting before anything is booked.
Results your next step can use. Boundary marks for your fencer, levels and files for your designer, set-out marks for your builder or a Form 12 for your certifier, depending on the survey you book.
