Illustration of a hand holding a pencil beside a simple lot and building drawing with three coloured lines on paper. ## When it is worth asking about You might ask for this when a designer or builder needs service information before drawings are settled, when trenches, footings or landscaping will cut into the ground, or when the records you have do not give a clear picture of the area you plan to work in. Telling us what you plan to build or dig keeps the quote focused on the part of the site that matters. ## Choosing what to request ### Locating services in your work area Suits planned digging, trenching or footings where you want to know where existing services run in that area, not just what the records suggest. ### Mapping services onto a plan Suits a designer, builder or engineer who needs existing services shown on a site plan. Say who will use it and what they need, so the quote states what will be provided. ## How this differs from a detail survey A detail survey records the visible features of a site, including services you can see. On our [detail survey page](/detail-survey/), underground services are plotted from records rather than detected. Underground service locating and mapping is a separate request focused on existing services in your work area. Records have limits too. [Before You Dig Australia](https://www.byda.com.au/before-you-dig/guide-to-free-plans/) notes that plans supplied by infrastructure owners show the presence of underground infrastructure, not the exact location, and plans may not cover every asset. Locating or mapping information supports planning; it is not a clearance to dig. ## Helpful details for your quote None of these are required to ask, but each one helps the quote match your site. - Property address or suburb - The area you plan to work in and what you are building or digging - Any service plans or drawings you already have - Who will use the information, such as a designer or builder, and what they need - Site access details and any deadline ## Request a quote Send your property details and what you plan to do. Before booking, confirm with us whether your site needs services located on site or mapped from records and exposed services, so the quote matches the work.

If your project needs existing services located or mapped, request that separately. **Are Before You Dig plans enough on their own?** They are a useful first step, but they indicate that infrastructure is present rather than exactly where it is, and may not show every asset. Whether you need more depends on your planned work. **Will every service on my site be found?** We cannot promise that every service will be found. Ask for the work area and what will be located or mapped to be set out in your quote. **Does this make my site safe to dig?** No. This information supports planning but is not approval to dig. Follow Before You Dig Australia guidance and any asset owner instructions before excavating. ## Related services [Detail Survey LEARN MORE](/detail-survey/) [Construction Set Out Survey LEARN MORE](/construction-set-out-survey/) [As Constructed Survey LEARN MORE](/as-constructed-survey-brisbane/) ## Our Services - [Boundary Surveys](/boundary-survey/) - [Detail Surveys](/detail-survey/) - [Subdivision Surveys](/subdivision-brisbane/) - [Construction Set-Out](/construction-set-out-survey/) - [Lease Surveys](/lease-surveys-brisbane/) - [Strata Surveys](/strata-survey-brisbane/) - [As-Constructed Surveys](/as-constructed-survey-brisbane/) - [Easement Surveys](/easement-survey-brisbane/) - [Volume Survey](/volume-survey-brisbane/) - [Service Locating](/underground-service-locating-brisbane/) ## Planning work near underground services?
