Unlike topographical or boundary surveys which measure the boundaries or features of the land itself, an as-built survey is designed to show any and all improvements to the land at a given point in time. An as-built survey is a detailed survey conducted by a qualified land surveyor to document the precise locations, dimensions, and configurations [...]

The Property Institute of New Zealand estimates homeowners of cross-leased properties can suffer value losses from 7 to 18 per cent.

A cross-lease is where multiple individuals own an undivided share of land and a lease for part of the land/building.  This building will then be leased back to them (often for a term of 999 years) and recorded on the Record of Title.  In other words, in a cross lease title, property owners share ownership of [...]

Using the drone surveys, we are able to not only produce topographical plan, but a high-resolution aerial (ortho-mosaic) image of the site which will definitely assist in better interpretation of the topographical information.  Drone surveys have enabled us to produce topographical plan for big scale jobs (extensive area of land) in a relatively short period [...]

Many companies around New Zealand fail to make optional use of the possibilities that spatial information and accompanying GIS services has to offer.  It often seems to be too troublesome. You need to collect the right data, transform them into the required format or digitize existing hard-copy materials. Once the data is digitally available, a [...]

Topographic survey (Site Survey) is simply the recording of coordinates and height data for a particular survey area. This data can be used to create spot height maps, contour maps, or more complex terrain models of the surveyed area. Topographical Surveys are normally needed for architectural design, landscape design, and/or structural design. Thanks to the modern [...]
