Comprehensive feature and level surveys
Feature and level surveys, also known as contour surveys, are the starting point of any development. We document every site feature, existing buildings, tree locations, and the heights and positions of neighbouring structures, along with street detail and assets like drainage, communication pits and electrical services. Once the data is captured, our team produces detailed AutoCAD (DWG) and PDF plans for you or your design team.
Detailing every unique aspect of your site.

Cutting-edge technology for high accuracy
We pair advanced surveying equipment with proven techniques to deliver data that is both highly accurate and cost-effective. Whether you need detailed contours, precise boundary lines or comprehensive site levels, our technology-driven approach reduces the risk of costly errors and keeps your development moving.
Precision and affordability, delivered.
What you receive
- AutoCAD Plan and Surface file (DWG)
- PDF Plans and associated aerial imagery
- Certificate of Survey or Letter if required

FAQs
Land Development surveying questions
A feature and level (or contour) survey records the existing detail of your site, levels, contours, buildings, trees, fences, boundaries and services, so your designer or engineer has an accurate base plan to work from.
Yes. Subdivisions require accurate boundary and feature information to lodge plans and meet council and Land Use Victoria requirements. We can handle the survey work from the initial feature survey through to subdivision setout.
You'll receive detailed AutoCAD (DWG) and PDF plans showing levels to AHD or an arbitrary datum, contours at 0.2m intervals, and all relevant fences, easements, boundaries and building envelopes.
We guarantee a site visit within 10 days and reply to quotes and queries within two days. For urgent jobs, give us a call and we'll do our best to fit you in sooner.
We're based in East Bendigo and work right across central and regional Victoria, including Echuca, Shepparton, Castlemaine, Kyneton and surrounds.
