Building Set Out

Used for planning a variety of residential, commercial and industrial building constructions, building set out involves a set of surveys for activities such as:

Earthworks set out
Pegging for footings
Pinning for block work
Offset points for single set out
Offset profile boards
Benchmark (TBM) established in Aust. Height Datum (AHD)
Boundary location for fence or wall construction

Lease Surveys

Lease surveys are undertaken to measure the area of land or space within the walls of a building with multiple leases such as a shopping centre. This determines the value of the space over the life of the lease.

Many leases are valued based on a per square metre basis. This makes it essential to engage a surveyor to gain an accurate measurement and ensure compliance with the land titles requirements for long term and high valued leases.

Any building or land lease that has a term of 3 years or longer is considered a long-term lease and must be accompanied by a lease plan prepared by a licenced surveyor. Any lease within a complex of more than 5 units must also include a master sketch showing the location of the unit within the complex.

Building Format (Strata) Plans

A building format plan is a form of subdivision which usually applies to duplex developments, multi-story buildings subdivided into individual unit titles, and in some cases, other developments like townhouses. It defines land using the structural elements of a building, such as floors, walls and ceilings.

I would like to thank you for your services with the two site visits to my property to identify the property boundary over the last two weeks.

I’d like to provide some feedback, in that you were both were really helpful, professional and communicative through the process, and I appreciated you talking me through some of the observations/findings whilst you were here.

Kurt Thompson

Impressed with Arnold Development Consultant high level of service and proactive approach.

We engaged Arnold Development Consultants to do the survey work for our subdivision and have been impressed with their high level of service and proactive approach not only doing the survey work, but seeing the lot sealing process through to its completion. They were always willing to go above and beyond and we really appreciated their experience and guidance through this process. You have been fantastic and we will definitely be back for future survey work.
