Question 1

|     TITLE SURVEY

Accepted Answer

Your property’s title details the rights related to its ownership. These historical records of your site have an impact on any development you may be planning. A title survey can help you identify your legal boundaries and any encumbrances and ensure you understand any issues relating to the land. If you’re planning to subdivide, a licensed land surveyor like RMG will need to determine the location of your existing title, create new title boundaries, and prepare a Plan of Subdivision. Licensed land surveyors are the only people in Victoria qualified to do this. We may also suggest a feature survey.

Subdivisions	Title re-establishment	Amendment of title
Feasibility Lot design Planning permit applications Land Subdivisions Compulsory acquisition Boundary re-alignment Specialist advice	Pre-purchase re-establishment (due diligence) Re-establishment for design of buildings and infrastructure Re-marking of boundaries prior to construction Re-marking of boundaries for fencing	Application surveys to amend title Adverse possession Consolidation of title Creation, variation and removal of easements and restrictions

Question 2

|     FEATURE SURVEY

Accepted Answer

A feature survey records all the noteworthy features on a property from contours to the location of trees, street and verge features, utilities, roads and driveways, boundaries, and easements. These surveys can be used as the base plan for subdivisions. Engineers use feature surveys to design any new infrastructure or infrastructure upgrades.

Buildings	Roads and Bridges	Infrastructure
Existing condition surveys Existing structures Adjoining structures	Long route survey Topographical features Utility services Existing alignments and cross-sections	Large scale leveling projects Long line route survey for pipelines Survey for engineering design

Question 3

|     CONSTRUCTION SURVEY

Accepted Answer

Accurate and timely survey data is critical to guide and inform the construction of transport, building, subdivision and water projects. Construction surveys include surveys for design, infrastructure setout, as-constructed surveys, or multi-storey grid layout. This information is used from design concept right through to the construction.

Subdivision setout	Road setout	Building setout	As-constructed survey
Setout of road and footpath levels Setout of sewer reticulation locations Setout of water reticulation locations Setout of utility locations	Setout of road cross-sections Setout of road alignment Base station setup for machine control	Setout of building level Setout of building relative to title Setout of multi-level buildings	Earthworks Roads Sewer Water Drainage Volume Calculations Certified levels plans Tolerance surveys

Survey for the transport, buildings, property and water sectors

Our land surveyors specialise in feature, and construction surveys, flexible enough to suit a small subdivision, right through to an infrastructure project or large multi-stage development.

We work with experienced developers, local councils, and government right through to individual property owners. And if you’re working with one of our other RMG services, adding survey services to your project eliminates the need to bring in external consultants and can be great for efficiency.
