A slab poured 20mm out of level, a setback that doesn’t match the DA, or a building corner in the wrong spot — these are the surveying mistakes that stop a Sunshine Coast build in its tracks. Certifiers won’t sign off, trades get held up, and rework eats into your margin.
Survey My Block runs construction surveys across the Sunshine Coast for builders and homeowners who’d rather catch a problem before the concrete goes down than after.
What we cover:
We work the whole coast including Maroochydore, Mooloolaba, Buderim, Caloundra, Noosa, Coolum, Nambour, Sippy Downs and Kawana included.
Before anyone can start building, the approved plans need to be translated onto the actual block, building corners, offsets, and levels pegged out so your crew knows exactly where to work.
We handle set out for:
A set out picks up plan errors, boundary discrepancies, or clashes with easements while they’re still cheap to fix (not once footings are in).
Set out tells the crew where to build. An Ascon checks what they actually built.
Once works are underway or complete, we survey the built form against the approved plans and flag anything that’s drifted, position, level, dimensions, or height. Depending on what your certifier needs, this can cover:
Catching a discrepancy at Ascon stage, rather than at final inspection, is usually the difference between a quick fix and a costly one.
Some certifiers want confirmation at specific stages rather than waiting for a full Ascon. Slab down, frame up, roof on.
We can attend site for a targeted check of whatever’s been nominated:
These can be booked around your build schedule so the relevant trade isn’t left waiting on a survey result.
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.
