What do land surveyors do?

Land surveyors measure and draw the earth's surface, including land, air space and water.

Usually, a land surveyor will assess the geography and then use that information to plan new building structures, but land surveyors can also be used for other purposes such as:

  • Establishing land boundaries, especially for sub division purposes
  • Calculating land size
  • Drawing maps + charts

A land surveyor uses a combination of technologies to help them - electronic distance meters, GPS, and theodolites along with some manual solutions like tapes and pegs.

So if you're planning a subdivision or need to establish plans for a new building, or even if there is a dispute about the placement of a wall between neighbours, a land surveyor can assist you.
