Licensed Land Surveys
Exact Solutions provides professional licensed land surveys to support property ownership, development and construction projects across Aoteroa.
Our surveying services deliver accurate measurements and detailed documentation that help property owners, developers, architects and builders understand land boundaries, site conditions and development potential. From confirming legal boundaries to mapping terrain and preparing land for subdivision, our surveys provide the data required to move projects forward with confidence.
Working throughout Christchurch and Auckland, our experienced team delivers reliable surveying services aligned with Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) standards and local council requirements.
Our Licensed Survey Services
Exact Solutions provides several types of licensed surveys depending on the requirements of the project. Each survey provides a different type of information about a property, helping to support planning, design and compliance.
-
A boundary survey determines the exact legal boundaries of a property. This survey confirms where property lines are located and identifies the position of boundary markers on the ground.
Boundary surveys are commonly required when:
Building or renovating near a property boundary
Installing fences, retaining walls or driveways
Resolving boundary disputes
Confirming land ownership limits
Planning subdivisions or development
Our team carries out detailed site measurements and can re-establish boundary pegs where necessary. The resulting plans clearly show the property boundaries and provide documentation suitable for council submissions and title records.
For many projects, confirming boundaries early helps prevent issues later in the development process.
-
Topographical surveys - often referred to as topo surveys - map the natural and built features of a site. These surveys capture the terrain and physical characteristics of the land, providing essential data for architects, engineers and planners.
A topographic survey typically includes:
Ground levels and contour lines
Spot heights and elevation data
Buildings and existing structures
Accessways, driveways and hard surfaces
Vegetation and landscape features
Drainage and visible services
Using professional surveying equipment and digital modelling software, we capture accurate site information and convert it into clear plans that support design and development work.
Topographical surveys are commonly used for new building projects, renovations, site feasibility assessments and infrastructure planning. By providing a detailed understanding of the landform and existing conditions, they allow design teams to make informed decisions from the earliest stages of a project.
-
A subdivision survey is required when dividing a property into multiple legal lots.
Subdivision projects can range from splitting a residential property into two sections to creating larger developments with multiple lots. Regardless of scale, accurate surveying is essential to ensure the new boundaries and titles are correctly defined.
Our subdivision surveys typically include:
Confirmation of existing title boundaries
Site measurement and land analysis
Proposed lot layout planning
Peg placement and boundary marking
Documentation for council approval and title registration
We work closely with planners, engineers and legal professionals to ensure subdivision plans align with local regulations and development requirements.
By providing accurate and compliant survey documentation, we help streamline the subdivision process and reduce delays in obtaining council approvals or new property titles.
Why Licensed Surveys are Important
Professional surveys help:
Confirm legal property boundaries
Support design and development planning
Ensure compliance with council regulations
Prevent disputes between neighbouring properties
Provide reliable documentation for property transactions
By working with experienced survey professionals, property owners and developers can ensure that land measurements and documentation are accurate and legally recognised.
Licensed land surveys play a critical role in property ownership and development.
Accurate survey data ensures that buildings are positioned correctly, boundaries are respected and land is developed in accordance with planning regulations. Without reliable surveying information, projects can face delays, compliance issues or costly corrections later in the process.
Our Surveying Process
Exact Solutions follows a structured process to ensure each survey is accurate, reliable and compliant with New Zealand standards.
1. Project consultation
We begin by understanding your project requirements, whether you need a boundary confirmation, site mapping or subdivision survey.
2. Site measurement
Our team visits the property and uses professional surveying equipment to capture accurate land measurements and site features.
3. Data processing and analysis
Survey data is processed using specialist software to generate precise survey drawings and documentation.
4. Plan preparation and delivery
Final survey plans are prepared in formats suitable for design teams, councils and legal documentation.
This process ensures every survey provides clear, reliable information that can be used with confidence.
