Land Surveying Services Perth

At TSA Surveys, we provide accurate and dependable land surveying services in Perth for builders, developers, architects and property owners. From early planning through to construction and title registration, our surveying services ensure your project is built on reliable information.

As experienced Perth land surveyors, we work closely with clients to deliver clear documentation, practical advice and efficient turnaround times across a wide range of residential and development projects.


Feature Survey Perth

A feature and contour survey is typically the first step before any design or development begins. A feature survey provides a detailed representation of the land and all existing site features, allowing architects and designers to accurately plan the layout of buildings and infrastructure.

Our feature survey Perth services identify and map:

  • Existing buildings and improvements

  • Water, sewer, drainage and power services

  • Telecommunications and gas services

  • Road and verge features

  • Trees and vegetation

  • Fences and retaining walls

  • Site levels and contours

If there are specific elements that need to be located, our surveyors can include these in the survey.

Surveying Services for Builders and Developers

Construction and development projects rely on accurate site data. Our team provides professional land surveying services that support the planning, design and construction stages of your project.

We regularly work with:

  • Residential builders

  • Property developers

  • Architects and designers

  • Engineers and consultants

  • Private property owners

Our goal is to ensure your project starts with accurate measurements and continues smoothly through construction.

Boundary Re-establishment

A boundary re-establishment survey is conducted by a licensed surveyor to accurately determine the legal boundaries of a property.

This type of survey is often required when:

  • Constructing a new building near a boundary

  • Installing fences or retaining walls

  • Planning renovations or extensions

  • Resolving boundary uncertainties

Once the survey is completed, a formal survey certificate is prepared and signed by the Licensed Surveyor, providing clear documentation of the property's true boundaries.

Building Setout & Zero Lot Wall Setout

As homes are increasingly built closer to property boundaries, accurate positioning of buildings is critical.

Our team provides professional building setout surveys to ensure structures are positioned exactly according to approved plans.

The process generally includes:

  1. Initial building setout after earthworks are completed

  2. Accurate positioning of building corners

  3. Verification and positioning of garage walls and zero lot walls

This ensures the construction aligns with both planning approvals and property boundaries, reducing the risk of costly issues later in the build.

subdivision services

If you are planning to subdivide your property, working with an experienced subdivision surveyor in Perth is essential.

TSA Surveys provides professional surveying services to guide clients through the subdivision process, from the initial survey through to the creation of new land titles.

Subdivision approvals in Western Australia are managed by the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) and involve multiple stages including survey work, servicing requirements and final title registration.

Our team supports clients through each step of the process and our expertise will guarantee an efficient process.

green title subdivision

A Green Title subdivision divides an existing property into two or more individually serviced lots.

Each lot is provided with its own utilities such as water, sewer and power. Because each lot must be serviced independently, this type of subdivision can involve higher development costs.

Typical Process (9–12 months)

  1. Complete feature and contour survey

  2. Prepare subdivision design in consultation with the client

  3. Lodge application with the WAPC for conditional approval

  4. Complete servicing works required by authorities

  5. Licensed Surveyor completes final survey and subdivision plan

  6. Obtain clearances from servicing authorities

  7. Lodge survey plan with Landgate

  8. Settlement agent applies for new titles

  9. New Certificates of Title are issued

survey-strata subdivision

A Survey Strata subdivision creates individually owned lots that may share common property or services.

This approach can reduce development costs as lots can share infrastructure such as power and sewer connections.

Prior to lodging the survey strata plan, a licensed valuer prepares a schedule of unit entitlement to determine each owner’s share of the property and voting rights within the scheme.

Typical Process (9–12 months)

  1. Feature and contour survey

  2. Design subdivision layout

  3. Lodge application with WAPC

  4. Complete servicing works required for approval

  5. Final survey and subdivision plan prepared

  6. Licensed valuer prepares schedule of unit entitlement

  7. Obtain servicing authority clearances

  8. Lodge survey plan with Landgate

  9. Settlement agent arranges title creation

  10. New Certificates of Title issued

built-strata subdivision

A Built Strata subdivision defines individual lots using the completed buildings and associated land areas.

This method is typically used for completed developments and is often quicker than other subdivision types.

However, the development must be fully completed in accordance with the approved Development Approval before the strata plan can be lodged.

Typical Process (6–8 weeks after building completion)

  1. Surveyor completes survey locating buildings and structures

  2. Strata plan prepared and issued for owner approval

  3. Licensed valuer prepares schedule of unit entitlement

  4. Registered Building Surveyor provides Certificate of Building Compliance

  5. Documentation submitted to Local Council for approval

  6. Strata plan lodged with Landgate

  7. Settlement agent arranges title creation

  8. New Certificates of Title issued

Subdivision Project Coordination

Subdivision projects often involve coordinating multiple consultants, contractors and authorities. TSA Surveys can manage and coordinate the various components of your development to ensure the process runs smoothly.

Our subdivision coordination services may include:

  • Managing survey stages throughout the project

  • Coordinating civil contractors and service providers

  • Liaising with planning authorities and servicing agencies

  • Preparing and lodging survey documentation

  • Assisting with WAPC conditions and compliance requirements

  • Coordinating title creation with settlement agents

By working with a trusted network of contractors and industry professionals, we help ensure all works are completed efficiently and to a high standard, allowing your subdivision to progress without unnecessary delays.
