Axis Surveys Information

Our contour / detail surveys set the standard within the industry, giving a true representation of the shape, features and services of a site. We include more spot heights and general information, including the property boundary dimensions, sewerage connection points, all visible man made improvements, trees, changes of grade, digital photos, adjoining property information (if required), etc. The plan is normally provided on the Australian Height Datum (AHD), and is provided in electronic format, along with a copy of the survey plan and the sewerage searches from council. If the boundary pegs are not visible or missing, the block will be plotted using the registered survey plan dimensions, and orientated by best fit to any existing survey marks, retaining walls or fences. Unless boundary clearances are minimal, this is usually adequate for design purposes. Contour / Detail surveys can be orientated to the boundaries, at additional cost if required. Dont take the risk of missing something such as retaining walls, fencing irregularities, a traffic island, a storm water gully trap, a power pole or the extent of slope for driveway or drainage design. Our contour / detail surveys take the guess work out of designing a new house, or renovation, and have proven to save money and future problems, time and time again. Our contour / detail surveys are also suitable to assist in the process of determining Ground Level under separate local authority rules, that dictate how high a new structure can be legally built to. House set-outs are a high risk activity for the building industry. We can minimise that risk by preparing a suitable house set-out plan and setting out the main corners of a new house, building or extension in the approved position, and providing a certificate confirming that the house is in the correct location in relation to the boundaries. Our setout calculations are nearly all done in the office, not on site. This ensures that any problems with the setout points or dimensions are resolved before the ...
