Professional Site Surveys in Perth
A site survey provides essential information about your property before construction begins. At City Land Surveyors Perth, we deliver comprehensive site surveys that give builders, architects, and developers the accurate data they need to plan and execute successful projects.
Whether you're building a new home, planning a commercial development, or preparing a development application, our site surveys capture all the critical information about existing conditions on your land.
What is a Site Survey?
A site survey (sometimes called a pre-construction survey or existing conditions survey) documents everything on your property before development begins. This typically includes:
- Existing structures: Buildings, sheds, retaining walls, and other improvements
- Ground levels: Spot heights and contours showing the terrain
- Vegetation: Trees, their locations, and canopy spreads
- Services: Power, water, sewer, and stormwater infrastructure
- Boundaries: Property lines relative to existing features
- Access: Driveways, crossovers, and access points
When Do You Need a Site Survey in Perth?
- New home construction: Builders need site data to design foundations and floor levels

Site Survey vs Feature Survey vs Detail Survey
In Perth, these terms are often used interchangeably. A "site survey," "feature survey," and "detail survey" all refer to comprehensive surveys that capture existing site conditions. The key is ensuring the survey includes everything your project requires.
