Surveying errors during construction can create costly rework and certification delays.
A building set out in the wrong location, an incorrect slab level or a setback that does not match the approved plans can affect following trades and delay the project.
Our construction surveying services include:
A building setout transfers the approved design onto the site so your construction team knows where the works need to be built.
Using the approved plans, we establish the building position, offsets and relevant levels and provide clear survey marks for your site team.
Setouts can be completed for:
Getting the setout completed before permanent works begin helps identify positioning or documentation issues before concrete is poured or construction progresses.
An As-Constructed Survey, or Ascon, records where the building or structure has actually been constructed.
While a setout tells your team where the works should go, the Ascon checks the completed work.
Depending on the project and your building certifier’s requirements, we can survey:
An Ascon can identify differences between the approved plans and completed works before the project progresses further.
Your building certifier may require confirmation of the building’s position or height during construction.
We can undertake targeted checks for:
These checks can be scheduled at the required construction stage, allowing your team to confirm the works before progressing.
Your building certifier may require a Form 12 Aspect Inspection Certificate for a surveyed aspect of the building work.
Where the relevant requirements are met, Survey My Block can undertake the required survey inspection and provide Form 12 certification for the nominated aspect.
If your certifier has requested a Form 12, send us:
We can review the information and confirm what survey work is required.
Need a setout, Ascon, height check or Form 12 for a Brisbane project?
Send us your site address, approved plans and any survey requirements provided by your building certifier.
If you have several upcoming projects, send us your project pipeline and we can discuss ongoing survey support.
Send us the latest approved architectural or construction plans showing the proposed building position, dimensions and relevant levels.
We may also require engineering plans or other approval documents depending on the project.
It's the standard survey used to start house plans, renovations and site designs.
Book the setout before permanent construction works begin.
For projects with tight construction programs, contact us early so the survey can be coordinated with your footing or slab program.
An As-Constructed Survey records the actual position and levels of completed construction and allows nominated elements to be checked against the approved plans.
A setout marks where the works should be constructed.
An Ascon measures where the works have actually been constructed.
Can you check building setbacks and heights?
Yes, for relevant survey aspects where the required appointment and certification requirements have been met.
If your certifier has requested a Form 12, send us their requirements and the approved plans.
Yes. We work with builders and developers requiring construction surveys across multiple Brisbane sites.
Send us your upcoming projects and survey requirements and we can discuss an ongoing arrangement.
