A building set out survey is a specialised land survey utilised to mark out the precise location of a proposed building on a site, in compliance with architectural plans and local building regulations.
The aim of a building set out survey is to ensure that the building is erected in the correct location and aligns with the correct specifications. This helps avoid potential issues related to property boundaries or other site constraints. Building set out surveys are a core service provided by NKWP Surveyors. Based in Coffs Harbour, NSW, we are well versed in the requirements of such surveys and maintain reliable timeframes for the completion of our work.
The process of conducting a building set out survey typically involves several steps. Initially, the surveyor scrutinises the architectural plans and other relevant documents to ascertain the building’s location on the site. Subsequently, they employ an array of tools and techniques, such as GPS and total stations, to mark out the building’s location on the ground.
After the building location is marked out, the surveyor generally sets out the location of key features. These include corners of the building, the position of walls, and the location of services such as water and electricity. Furthermore, the surveyor may set out reference points, known as benchmarks, which assist in future construction and surveying work.
Building set out surveys are typically mandatory before commencing construction work on a new building. They may also be required for extensions or renovations to existing buildings, to ensure that the new work aligns with the existing structure and does not encroach on neighbouring properties or violate building codes.
