What we specialise in

Topographical and Site Plans

Before any construction can begin, a Topographical Survey will need to be completed. Frear Surveyors produce in-depth and comprehensive Topographical plans that are the foundation for any construction planning.

A Topographical Survey may include (but is not limited to):

the grade and levels of the ground
positions and levels of existing buildings
positions and levels of existing drainage
road access points and road frontage occupation
location of services eg. power, water and telephone
location and size of vegetation
position and orientation of property boundaries
coverage areas

Setout Surveys

Once architects have designed a building and a building consent has been issued, a Setout Survey needs to be completed. A Setout Survey is completed to show the builders accurately where the building is to be positioned. Upon completion of the Survey, a Setout Certificate will be issued for Council records.

A Setout Survey may include (but is not limited to):

pegged building positions
height datum placement
pegged drainage positions with levels
pegged driveway positions with levels
Setout Certification

Asbuilt Surveys

After new public drainage construction has been completed an Asbuilt Survey will need to be completed for Council records. This is to certify that new public drainage has been built in accordance to the engineering approval.

An Asbuilt Survey may include (but is not limited to):

position and level of new public drainage
position and orientation of property boundaries
asbuilt plan for Council records
liaising with Drainlayers/Engineers

Height In Relation To Boundary Surveys

After new building construction has been completed a HIRB Survey will need to be completed for Council records. This is to certify that the new building has been built in accordance to the proposed height in relation to boundary envelope on the building consent plans.

A HIRB Survey may include (but is not limited to):

measuring and checking building position
measuring and checking the height in relation to boundary
measuring and checking the floor levels

Cross-Lease Update Surveys

Any construction that has changed the building footprint or if you have added a new structure on your property, then you will need a Cross-Lease Update survey to be completed. This is suggested before the sale of a Cross-Lease property as your “Flats Plan” is now considered defective.

A Cross-Lease Update Survey may include (but is not limited to):

positions of existing buildings
position and orientation of property boundaries
request of 223/224f certificates from Council (in certain circumstances 224c may be applied)
lodgement of Land Transfer Survey Plan and Survey Report with Land Information New Zealand (LINZ)
