Land Surveyors in Invercargill and Gore

Gore and Invercargill has a captivating landscape characterised by vast terrains and diverse topographical features. The region encompasses a rich tapestry of natural wonders, including expansive plains, rolling hills, and picturesque coastlines. With such a diverse and challenging environment, expertise of professional surveyors play a crucial role in facilitating sustainable development.

At Definition surveying, we have a comprehensive knowledge of the land to conduct various surveys that are essential for informed decision-making. Whether it's for urban planning, Council infrastructure, property construction, or environmental management, we collect precise and reliable information about the land to enable architects and engineers to meticulously plan the development process.

Surveyors Invercargill

We are trusted partners in fulfilling the primary surveying needs for all infrastructure and building projects initiated by the Invercargill Council. Our comprehensive suite of primary survey services includes:

  • Topographical surveys to provide essential data and 3D models for Council infrastructure projects during the planning and feasibility study phase.

  • Engineering surveys to help engineers adapt their designs to the environmental context and to do accurate budgeting. These surveys also have a significant impact on future budgeting considerations for maintenance, repairs, and eventual replacement of the infrastructure.

  • Our land surveyors in Upper Hutt or Invercargill meticulously conduct comprehensive monitoring surveys to document the rate of change of land for precise assessments of future remedial work. This ensures the ongoing safety and usability of constructions and addresses budget concerns.

Surveying Services

Set out and HIRB (Height in Relation to Boundary) surveys are a specialised service crucial for homeowners and developers planning construction projects within a determined distance from a property's legal boundary. This survey is vital for ensuring compliance with regulations governing building height in proximity to boundaries.

Our team of licensed surveyors excels in conducting HIRB surveys, offering homeowners the essential certificates required for submission to planning authorities. Additionally, we are adept at facilitating inspection surveys in cases where disputes over HIRB arise with local councils. We make sure that the necessary documentation is prepared and presented effectively to provide clarity and resolution in matters related to height regulations and property boundaries.

This certificate is required for obtaining building consent from neighbours and a Code of Compliance (CoC) for the intended structure from the local council's planning office. We are licensed professionals who can issue Building Location Certificate by adhering to the highest standards of accuracy and compliance.

Rural or Building Subdivision

Understanding our subdivision surveying process is crucial when seeking assistance with building or rural subdivisions. This knowledge allows for better planning and provides insight into the anticipated timeframe for completion.

Here's an overview of the steps we undertake as residential land surveyors:

  • Researching Local Regulations: We initiate the process by thoroughly researching governing local regulations, delving into Council guidelines to discern the possibilities and limitations associated with subdividing your land.
  • Assessing Subdivision Feasibility: We investigate whether your land meets the criteria for subdivision, considering factors such as size requirements. If your land doesn't align with district plan specifications, we explore the potential for subdivision through a more comprehensive planning assessment and application, accounting for environmental impacts.
  • Gathering Site Information: We meticulously collect current information about your site and adjacent areas. This includes identifying any existing surveys conducted by previous landowners, ensuring that we account for all relevant information that may impact our surveying process.
  • Establishing Boundaries and Creating Proposed Lots: In this phase, we accurately establish your existing boundaries and formulate proposed lots. We create a scheme plan, illustrating the proposed division of land, and seek approval from landowners. Once the scheme plan gains approval, we proceed to submit it, along with a resource consent application, to the Invercargill council. Upon approval and meeting stipulated conditions, we proceed with the legal survey and submit plans to LINZ (Land Information New Zealand) for final approval.
