Detail and Contour Surveys

A detail survey is used to identify and locate improvements and topography that are present on a parcel of land. A detail survey is typically prepared to allow an architect or building designer to prepare a development application “DA” for a new house, units or for an extension to an existing house.

A typical detail survey will include:

• Spot levels and contours.
• Position and floor level of existing house on site.
• Kerb and gutter levels
• Position of visible services (e.g. Telstra pits, power poles, water meters, hydrants and gas meters)
• Position of the neighbouring side wall of adjacent building, including window locations, gutter and ridge heights.
• Trees of significant size upon the site and adjacent sites.

A Contour survey is another name used to describe a detail survey.
