Why it's important to get a Registered Surveyor involved from the start

Your land is a valuable asset. It’s worth getting the right information about your land upfront so that you can develop with certainty. Here are three reasons why it’s important to get a Registered Surveyor from the start.

1. It’s important to know that the land you’re dealing with is what you think it is

It might sound silly to say, but it does happen: Do you know that you have the right lot? Mistakes do happen. In some cases, real estate agents have drawn a line on a picture to show the boundary – but is that really the boundary? We’ve seen some things that are best avoided! 

2. Is the development you’re planning going to work in the context of your site?

Whether it’s an extension or something bigger, it pays to get the right information in the first place so that you don’t end up with costly issues down the track. We’ve seen examples such as prefabricated garages not fitting on blocks.    

3. Architects are great at drawing buildings, but it’s best to get the experts to deal with your subdivision 

While you absolutely need your designer for your new project, it’s also important to obtain expert land title advice from a Registered Surveyor. Your Registered Surveyor will be able to provide invaluable advice from a Titling aspect, which will likely save you money in the long run and usually make it easier for your development to pass through council – or avoid council entirely. 

If you’re starting a project, whether it’s a building project or subdivision, it’s important to get a Registered Surveyor working with you from the start to pick up on any potential issues that may cause costly delays later if not dealt with early.
