South East Queensland — Brisbane, Logan, Scenic Rim, Gold Coast Registered surveyor under the Surveyors Act

Vellum Court SurveyingCadastral & construction

Field crews Monday–Friday
Plans issued digitally and in hard copy

We locate boundaries, set out buildings and produce the plans that councils, builders and conveyancers will actually accept. Most jobs are small and specific: someone needs to know where a fence can legally go, or a slab needs to be set out before a pour on Monday.

Survey types

SurveyWhat it answers
Identification surveyWhere the boundaries are and whether the existing structures sit inside them. The one conveyancers ask for before a settlement.
Boundary re-establishmentMarks reinstated on the ground from the registered plan, so a fence, retaining wall or shed goes in the right place.
Contour and detailLevels, services, trees and existing improvements. What a designer or engineer needs before drawing anything.
Construction set-outBuilding corners, footings, columns and levels marked for the trades, and checked again after excavation.
Volume and stockpileCut and fill quantities, and material volumes measured for progress claims or reconciliation.
Subdivision and plan lodgementSurvey and documentation through to lodgement, coordinated with your town planner.

How a job runs

  1. Search. We pull the registered plan, the title and any adjoining survey records before anyone goes on site. A surprising number of questions are answered here for the cost of the search.
  2. Field work. A crew locates existing marks, measures the site and places new marks where they are needed.
  3. Reduction and check. Field data is reduced against the record and any discrepancy is resolved rather than averaged away.
  4. Plan and certificate. Issued under the signature of a registered surveyor, in the form the receiving body requires.

Before you call

Have the property address and, if you have it, the lot and plan number from the rates notice or title. It shortens the search.

If the job is driven by a deadline — a settlement, a pour, a council response date — say so first. It changes how we schedule the crew, and it is the single most useful thing you can tell us.

We do not quote a boundary job sight-unseen off a street address alone. The record search is what determines whether it is an hour or a day.
