Questions

Find answers to common surveying and development questions

How long do surveys take?

Most residential surveys are completed within 5 to 10 business days, depending on site complexity and weather. We confirm timelines upfront so you can plan accordingly. Subdivision projects may take longer based on scope and approvals required.

What's included in a boundary survey?

A boundary survey identifies and documents your legal property lines using registered data and on-site measurements. It's essential for building, fencing, subdivision, and resolving disputes. We provide a clear plan showing your boundaries in relation to existing structures.

Do I need a feature survey before building?

Yes. A feature survey captures site contours, levels, and existing features like trees and utilities. Architects and builders use this information for design and planning. It saves time and money by identifying constraints early.

Can Perth Surveying help with subdivision administration?

Yes. We provide subdivision field surveys, documentation support, and guidance through the approval process. Our local WA knowledge helps developers navigate requirements and timelines. Contact us to discuss your subdivision project.

What makes construction setouts important?

Setouts position your home or building precisely according to approved plans. Accurate setouts prevent costly rework, delays, and disputes with neighbors. We mark positions clearly so builders can proceed with confidence.
