Question 1

How much does a land survey cost in Perth?

Land survey costs in Perth vary depending on the type of survey, property size, and complexity. A basic boundary identification typically costs $800-$1,500, a full boundary survey ranges from $1,800-$3,500, and subdivision surveys can range from $4,000-$12,000+ depending on the number of lots and council requirements.

Question 2

How long does a survey take to complete?

Accepted Answer

Most standard surveys in Perth are completed within 5-10 business days from the site visit to final plan delivery. The field work itself typically takes 2-4 hours depending on the property size. Subdivision surveys take longer due to the WA Landgate and council approval process, typically 4-8 months.

Question 3

Do I need to be home during the survey?

Accepted Answer

You don't need to be present during the survey, but we do need access to your property. If there are locked gates or dogs, please arrange access beforehand. For boundary work, we may also need to access neighbouring properties briefly to locate survey marks.

Question 4

Is your work accepted by my local Council?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All our work is produced to meet the specific DA requirements of Perth local councils across the Perth metropolitan area. We're registered with the WA Land Surveyors Board and our plans are legally recognised for all council submissions.

Question 5

What factors affect survey pricing?

Accepted Answer

Several factors influence the cost of a land survey in Perth: property size (larger blocks take longer), terrain difficulty (steep or heavily vegetated sites), age of subdivision (older properties require more research), number of boundaries to survey, and required turnaround time (urgent jobs cost more).
