Building Set Out Survey

At VIC Feature Survey, we offer comprehensive Building Set Out Survey services to ensure the precise positioning of your proposed structures within legal boundaries. Whether you’re building a small dwelling, a commercial property, or a large-scale development, our expert team will guide your construction project with accuracy and confidence.

What is a Set-Out Survey?

A set-out survey involves marking key points on the land to establish the exact location of your construction according to the approved building design. This step is essential to ensure that your project aligns with the plans and stays within legal property boundaries. By transferring the design onto the land, we create clear markers that guide builders in following the exact specifications throughout the construction process.

Why it is Important?

Set-out surveys play a critical role in ensuring your construction project runs smoothly:

Legal Compliance: They ensure the building is located within the legal boundaries of your land, preventing future boundary disputes.
Accurate Construction: With the key points marked clearly on-site, your builders can follow the plan accurately, reducing errors and costly delays.
Design Assurance: Set-out surveys confirm that the approved design will be executed as intended, from foundations to floor heights, minimizing potential design flaws.

When is it Needed?

A set-out survey is essential for various construction projects, including:

Residential builds, from single homes to multi-unit developments
Extensions and renovations to existing structures
Commercial and industrial buildings
Infrastructure projects, such as roads, bridges, and tunnels
Pool construction and other specialized projects

The Importance of Accurate Set-Outs for Construction

A precise set-out is vital for any construction project, ensuring that every element, from building footprints to grid lines, is positioned correctly. Our surveyors use advanced equipment, such as Total Stations and 3D scanning technology, to provide accurate results that minimize the risk of errors, ultimately saving time and money.
