01Why it matters

Clear boundaries protect your property.

A boundary survey accurately defines the limits of a property so ownership is clearly set out. That precision matters most when you build, fence or landscape near the line, and it helps you avoid disputes with neighbours and costly arguments over encroachment.

When you buy, sell or develop, a boundary survey confirms the property matches its legal description, so the transaction rests on verified information.

02Survey types

Four boundary services, one licensed team

Pegging

Boundary reinstatement

Re-establishing and marking your boundary corners for a new fence, building close to the boundary, or a disagreement with a neighbour. Pegs can be offset if required.

Redefinition

Boundary redefinition

Where original marks are decades old or the landscape has changed, we identify the original boundaries from survey evidence and install new pegs.

Subdivision

Subdivision boundaries

Whether you are splitting a backyard or a ten-lot investment, we set out clear, compliant boundary lines for every new lot.

HIRB

Height in relation to boundary

HIRB calculations and certification for building plans, Auckland Council’s Resource Consent monitoring, or Building Consent inspections.

03Worth knowing

Boundary pegs belong on the public record.

Some surveyors place boundary pegs without recording them with Land Information New Zealand. Under the Cadastral Surveys Act 2010, a Boundary Reinstatement Survey Plan must be filed with LINZ so it becomes public record. We follow that process on every job, and it is what makes the result defensible.

04HIRB

Height in relation to boundary, certified.

HIRB rules make sure new buildings don’t unreasonably block sunlight or daylight to neighbours. Calculations from a licensed cadastral surveyor are needed in building plans before construction reaches the foundation stage.

For subdivisions involving existing buildings, HIRB calculations confirm the proposed boundaries won’t create infringements. We survey the exact boundary position and determine how close, and how high, a building can be.
