Land Surveying Across Sydney & NSW

Hill & Blume provides land surveying services across Sydney and NSW, working on residential, commercial, construction, and development projects.

No two properties are the same. A quiet block in the suburbs and a busy construction site need different things from a surveyor, so we start by understanding your property before we start measuring it.

Checking a boundary, planning a renovation, subdividing a block, or getting ready to build? Our team gives you the accurate information you need to move forward with confidence.

We work alongside homeowners, architects, builders,developers and engineers, at whatever stage your project is at.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know what type of land survey I need?

You do not need to know the exact survey before contacting us. Tell us the property address and what you are planning, such as buying a property, building, renovating, installing a fence, subdividing, or preparing a development application. Our team can help identify the surveying work that may be required.

How much does a land survey cost in Sydney?

The cost of a land survey depends on the type of survey, property size, location, available records, site access, and the complexity of the work. Contact Hill & Blume with your property address and project details, and we can provide a quote based on the work required.

How long does a land survey take?

Timeframes vary depending on the type of survey, the property, and the information required. Some surveys are relatively straightforward, while larger or more complex sites may require additional fieldwork and research. We can give you an expected timeframe once we understand your project.

Do I need a survey before putting up a new fence?

If you are unsure of the legal boundary, a boundary survey can help establish where the property line is before a new fence is installed. This can be particularly important where existing fences do not necessarily follow the registered property boundary.

Do I need a land survey before renovating or building?

It depends on the project. Architects, builders, engineers, councils, or certifiers may require accurate information about property boundaries, levels, existing structures, and site features before plans can be prepared or construction begins.

What information should I provide when requesting a survey quote?

Start with the property address and a short explanation of what you are planning. If you already have architectural drawings, development plans, previous surveys, deposited plans, or other relevant documents, you can also send these through for our team to review.

Can you survey an existing house or property?

Yes. Surveying is commonly required for existing properties when owners are renovating, extending, replacing fences, checking boundaries, buying or selling, planning a development, or resolving questions about existing structures and improvements.

Do you provide land surveying for both residential and commercial projects?

Yes. Hill & Blume works across residential, commercial, construction, engineering, and development projects, from individual properties through to larger and more complex sites.

What areas do Hill & Blume survey?

Hill & Blume provides land surveying services across Sydney and NSW. If you are unsure whether your property or project is within our service area, contact the team with the property address, and we can confirm.
