FOR ALL YOUR LAND SURVEYING PROJECTS

1. What are your qualifications and do you have insurance?
2. Can you give me a fixed price?
3. How quickly can it be done?

How much for a Boundary Survey? This is an obvious question but can take some time to work out. I usually start with the street address of the property which can be used to search the Lands Titles Office records for the survey plan that created the property and other relevant survey plans nearby.

I am the business owner of Reliable Surveys and a Licensed Surveyor. This enables me to control the quality and accuracy of every job in detail. Clients of Reliable Surveys get a unique service that larger companies simply can not provide.

I loved the outdoors because I grew up in the country. I also liked maps, calculating, programming and technology. Surveying was an obvious choice. I completed a Bachelor of Surveying in 1992 (Uni SA) and a Graduate Diploma in Survey Practice in 2000 at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT).

A client purchased an expensive property. He asked me for a price to check the boundaries. I discovered the fencing was grossly out of position. He was able to negotiate a new price because the contract was subject to a survey. For an investment of $1100, he saved around $100,000. Not bad! If you can show me a better return on investment I would like to know!

I love being outdoors, reading old maps and survey plans and I love the challenge that boundary surveying can provide on occasions. Some of the history behind the evolving cadastre can be fascinating.

We are fully insured with Professional Indemnity Insurance to $5 million. We are covered by Public Liability Insurance for $20 million. As a Licensed Surveyor, I am bound by the code of ethics set by the Surveyors Board of South Australia. I am also a member of the Spatial Sciences Institute (SSSI).

1. Accurate property address
2. If you are subdividing, have you talked to the council? if so what was the feedback?
3. What type of survey? (Boundary and/or contour?) and what is the purpose of the Survey?

1. An accurate description of the property location (address or title number)
2. If you have a clear boundary and good access around the property that will help reduce the price.
3. If you have a recent copy of your certificate of title that will save you $33

If you are in the Western Suburbs, our prices will be cheaper to start with because we won’t charge any travel time. If our price is not competitive give us another try. I assure you we can beat any price by 10%.

We provide a fixed quote or maximum price so you can rely on us to not give you any nasty surprises. We invoice after the job is completed. Our payment terms are 7 days.

As a small company, we like to work with clients on small projects. (No job is too small). I believe we can give a personal service with clients looking to subdivide or simply looking to find out where their boundary is for a new fence. We also specialize in small engineering surveys and set outs.
