Boundary Surveying

Working with our licensed surveyors will give you both the confidence and accuracy of data to make sure your boundaries are signalled in the right place – while meeting all legal requirements.

Why look into Boundary Surveying?

A crucial part of property ownership is knowing where your boundaries sit. Without clear boundaries, arguments may arise between adjoining landowners and future developments can become unnecessarily complicated.

The original wooden pegs which mark your boundary corners have a limited life and so it is often necessary to have these remarked. A boundary survey is the best way to formally define the boundaries of a property. Often this is referred to as a cadastral survey.

How we help

KW Consultants will give you peace of mind knowing that your boundary is being defined by experienced and licensed surveyors, as required by New Zealand Legislation.

We advise engaging our team to redefine your boundaries when:

  • Building within close proximity to boundaries;
  • Establishing new fences;
  • Undertaking construction of retaining walls or other significant improvement work

Answers to some common questions we get

A land surveyor performs a highly technical service, requiring extensive training, in compliance with applicable laws, regulations, codes and court decisions. Because of the special skills and complexities involved in surveying land, statutes limit this practice only to those surveyors licensed by the Surveyors Board of NZ.

Despite conventional belief, re-establishing boundary lines on a piece of land is not as simple as getting out a GPS. Our land surveyors use a combination of research, science and art to determine the true boundaries of any given property.

Our team perform extremely thorough surveys, while utilising the latest technology and land surveying equipment to ensure accuracy and efficiency. Depending on your needs, our efforts include (but are not necessarily limited to):

  • Finding existing survey marks relating to the land parcel
  • Researching LINZ for all available survey information
  • Calculating survey data to ensure consistency

Depending on the terrain, we will place a variety of marks. These may range from wooden pegs to aluminium boundary disks.

You may be able to use your title plan and a tape measure to check between pegs, but the only way to be 100% sure is to have them checked by a Licensed Surveyor.
