At Sonto, we specialise in providing accurate Set Out Surveys for residential construction projects to make sure that the important elements of your construction align perfectly with approved building plans.
This critical process ensures that the construction aligns perfectly with all approved plans by accurately transferring building designs onto the physical land relative to the site. This involves establishing site survey control and setout points guiding builders to position structures in accordance with approved designs & within property boundaries. Our Set Out Surveys ensure your project is positioned accurately on site, based on precise survey control and design information.
Our team of trained surveyors accurately mark the positions of your proposed residential construction, including building corners, walls, footings, piers, posts and other key elements required for construction. We make sure they’re correctly placed within the property boundaries to prevent costly errors and ensure compliance with approved design plans.
Our surveyors are onsite when you need us. We are committed to attending sites in the quickest possible turn around to ensure projects keep moving. Our dedicated project team are only a phone call away from any survey requests.
Our streamlined Set Out Survey process is founded on several quality assurance checks throughout the project, ensuring the total accuracy of the survey every time. We stand by our surveys and issue Form 12 Certificates signed by our licenced Cadastral Surveyor within one day of the set out. Our Form 12s are used by building certifiers to complete the certification process.
By providing clear and accurate set outs, we help streamline the early phases of the construction process by reducing delays and the possibility of rework. Builders can rely on us with confidence, knowing that the groundwork has been meticulously prepared.

We carry out precalculations of boundary information and approved building plans, including engineering plans, to ensure all survey data is prepared accurately.
We come to the site and carry out the set out in accordance with the approved plans, providing you with clear onsite marks with directional paint & offsets if required.
After the initial set out, we conduct a thorough check to ensure that it’s consistent with the approved plans and setbacks.
We provision digitised set out sketches after every single survey, detailing the exact location where a market was placed.
A Set Out Survey is essential for translating architectural or engineering designs from a plan to the physical site. This type of survey ensures that new structures and buildings are constructed in the exact location specified in the building design plans.
By accurately marking the dimensions and reference points on the ground, a Set Out Survey helps prevent costly construction errors and ensures compliance with regulatory requirements.
A Building Set Out Survey should be conducted after the completion of the design phase and before any construction begins on site. It is crucial to perform this survey once final building approval is obtained and the site is prepared, but prior to the commencement of foundational work.
This timing ensures that all elements of the building are constructed in the correct location as per the approved architectural plans, providing a reliable framework for the construction process.
Yes, a Building Set Out Survey can help prevent costly boundary disputes. By accurately determining and setting out the new structure or building in the correct location relative to boundaries before construction begins, it avoids potential future encroachment or boundary disputes.
Ensuring that structures are correctly placed prior to construction greatly reduces, if not eliminates, the potential for boundary disputes in the vast majority of projects.
To perform a Building Set Out Survey, several key pieces of information are necessary. Firstly, approved building design and engineering plans are required to provide detailed dimensions for the structure’s layout.
Additionally, legal property dimensions and survey reference mark locations are essential to ensure that the proposed designs are set out in accordance with the correct setbacks. These boundary dimensions are generally derived from registered survey plans or boundary identification survey plans.
Yes, with every site set out, you will receive a set out sketch. We take the exact locations of our onsite surveyed points and digitise them onto the floor plans or site plans. These plans are then promptly sent to the site supervisors, typically within a few hours of the site set out, ensuring efficient communication and project continuity.
