Contour and Detail Survey

A contour and detail survey involves a site survey to plot all relevant details from the subject site. This information is then drafted into a contour and detail plan, primarily used for design purposes by architects, builders, draftspersons, building designers, and civil engineers. Each project may require varying levels of detail depending on the specific needs and outcomes. Contact Sonto today for contour and detail surveys in Brisbane and the Gold Coast to ensure your project starts with accurate and reliable land measurements.

For example, for residential renovation projects where an existing house is being retained and remodelled, detail of the dwelling is picked up which might include, but not limited to external walls, eaves, finished floor levels, window locations and rooflines.

By comparison, for a knock-down and rebuild, the level of detail picked up for the dwelling might only require the building footprint.

The contour survey also identifies the existing topography for a subject site. The existing topography is generaly displayed as contours on a plan, however, also include spot levels for future reference by subsequent consultants, trades and contractors. The existing topography can be identified on Australian Height Datum (AHD) if required. Depending on the project, AHD is required for certification purposes, it can also help designers and engineers make decisions about the respective designs required for the project.
