Level and Feature Surveys
Level and Feature Surveys, sometimes called Rescode Surveys, are used by your architect/draftsperson to determine how to best place your new home or alterations on your block in relation to the fall of your land, existing features and services, and also your neighbouring properties. This involves an onsite visit to develop a detailed drawing of the site, using remote total station technology to measure and record all of the relevant information. Our feature and level survey will be completed and returned to you within two weeks of order confirmation.
The information provided in a Feature Survey can be tailored to your requirements, but usually includes the following information provided it is visually accessible:
- Contours over the site at 0.2 metre intervals
- Heights of the existing house on site - floor level, ridge heights and eave heights
- Position of services and other features on site - garages, sheds, carports, trees, gas and water services, fence heights and descriptions, as well as features on the front nature strip including driveways, storm water pits, electricity pits, gas and water connections.
- Information regarding directly adjoining properties with 9m of the boundary - windows with habitable/non-habitable assessment, heights of ridges, eaves and floor levels where possible, assessment of Private Open Space
- Bench mark nominated at the front of the property
- Levels to Australian Height Datum (AHD) if required
We use latest computer technology, field and office equipment enabling us to work accurately and efficiently. All drawings are completed in LISCAD and Autocad, maintaining an industry standard format.
