Summit Geomatic have prepared thousands of contour and detail surveys over the years. Detail surveys are a basic prerequisite for building and land development, and in most cases, their purpose is to indicate features on, and adjacent to, a property.

There are a number of site features and levels required by architects and planners. A topographic survey is a vital component of a successful development application for any development of your land. We can undertake topographic surveys using a range of technologies, from remote access reflectorless Total Stations and 3D scanners (for restricted access) to GPS technology (large-scale topographic surveys).

Features of general detail surveys include:

• Title information
• Contours
• Spot levels
• Site co-ordination and location of true north
• Levels on the kerb and other critical features
• Location of existing visible services (sewerage, power poles, telephone)
• Ridge and gutter heights for subject buildings
• Ridge and gutter heights for adjacent buildings
• Outline of adjacent buildings
• Window position and heights for adjacent buildings facing the subject site
• Height and width of major vegetation
• Floor level of subject property
• Location of ancillary structures (garden sheds, pergolas)
• Level benchmark to Australian Height Datum (AHD) where applicable.

Summit Geomatic can also survey any other feature of a site that may impact upon its development potential. Site detail extras may include accurate boundary definition, boundary marking, and a services search. Furthermore, we can also provide highly accurate internal surveys of buildings to portray room layouts or show design purposes.
