SITE PLANS - Also called 'Detail & Contour Survey'

You’ve likely been advised to contact a land surveyor to prepare a Site Plan before embarking on your design or renovation project.

Whether you’re planning extensions or outdoor construction, starting with a well-prepared Site Plan is crucial. Let’s delve into the details:

The Site Plan shows how everything is connected, and where problems could exist when making changes.

​

What Is a Site Plan?
A Site Plan provides a clear overview of your property, showing existing features and contours. It’s like a roadmap for your project.
While you may envision the outcome, the Site Plan bridges the gap between reality and your desired result.

Why Is a Site Plan Essential?
No Guesswork: Without a Site Plan, you’re left with guesswork and hope. A detailed plan ensures clarity and precision.

Minimizing Surprises:

Building work can be costly. A Site Plan helps identify potential
issues early, reducing unexpected delays and additional expenses.
Development Approval (DA):

For complex projects requiring DA, the Site Plan provides essential information for council approval.
Planning Issues:

A well-prepared Site Plan often highlights planning considerations, allowing for efficient problem-solving during the design phase.
