Detail Plans

Detail Survey Plans

Here at ARP Surveyors we execute detail surveys to discover and document the different features on a given area of land. This ensures no unforeseen obstacles crop up when it comes to developing land, recording what’s on the land, or planning to build a property on the land. On this page, we’ll share more about them.

How Detail Surveys Work

We create detail plans by performing a detail survey of the land that you own and want to develop or change. This includes looking at natural and man-made elements and structures on that land.

Natural objects include:

Man Made objects include:

The survey will also look at the elevation of the land and the man made structures to form the Detail Survey. Typically this Survey will be on Australian Height Datum (AHD) meaning all surveyed heights on the Detail Survey are relative across the state using the same height system.

In addition, the contours of the land can simply be mapped out in the Detail Survey plans too, so that you can pick the best part to build and easily understand the natural layout of the land including any slopes or falls across the land.

Executing A Detail Survey

When we’re contracted to complete a Detail survey, we’ll bring a range of specialist equipment with us to get the job done. This includes total station and GPS where appropriate. Once we’ve obtained the data we require, we’ll create a Detail Survey plan that show what we’ve discovered in a visual format.

Architects and engineers can then use these plans to help plan a new build, or renovation. This requires a competent land surveyor with the right qualifications, registration and experience, which we’ll provide.

Some of the more technical aspects included in detail plans are:

What you need will depend on how complex the proposed plans will be. For example a simple survey for a pool in the rear yard of a property will require less infomation than a survey for a proposed residential unit block. We’ll help you judge how much use you’ll get from Detail plans dependant upon the proposal.

When You’ll Need ARP Surveyors

If you plan to carry out any type of construction on your land andyou’d like to ensure that your construction projects get approval from the authorities, then you’ll need to have a professional surveying firm create Detail Survey plans. Most Architects or Building Designers will request this type of plan in the initial planning phase. This way the design will be accurate and fair when considering adjoining neighbours and the designed buildings on the land.
