Give your builders a measured starting point.

Boundary marking & construction setout.

Boundary marking & construction setout

We locate, replace and record boundary markers and provide construction setout so contractors can work to reliable positions and levels. Height in relation to boundary surveys can support design and compliance checks.

  • Boundary location and marking
  • Building and engineering setout
  • Drainage, roading and retaining walls
  • Height in relation to boundary

When you need it

Start with the decision
your project needs.

Discuss boundary marking before fencing or building close to a property boundary. Construction setout is used when a contractor needs design positions and levels transferred onto the site. These are different tasks, and some projects need both.

What you receive

Deliverables agreed
with your project team.

Depending on the scope, we provide boundary marks, construction positions, level references and relevant survey records. Let us know whether your designer or contractor also needs height in relation to boundary information or building location documentation.

How the work progresses

  1. 01

    Review the brief

    Provide the site address, relevant survey information and the latest approved drawings or construction instructions.

  2. 02

    Agree the site requirements

    We coordinate access, the items to mark and the survey visits needed with you or your contractor.

  3. 03

    Mark & record

    Agreed boundary or construction survey work establishes the required site references and supporting records.

Common questions

Can I use an existing fence as the boundary?

A fence may not coincide with the legal boundary. Discuss a boundary survey before relying on its position for new work.

What do you need for construction setout?

Send the current drawings, revision details, required positions and levels, and your contractor’s timing. Tell us who can confirm the design instructions.

What if a peg or setout mark is disturbed?

Contact us before relying on or replacing it. We can discuss checking or re-establishing the reference.

Can you check a building after construction?

Building location documentation and as-built surveys can be scoped separately. Tell us what your designer, lender or project team requires.
