Our suite of integrated development services ensure the highest degree of quality, safety, efficiency and innovation on your projects.
The accuracy and quality of any development design starts with a comprehensive topographical survey, commonly known as a ‘topo’ survey.
Accurately defining the contour and physical features of a site allows ease of architectural and engineering design for utilities, roads, buildings, boundaries and landscaping, and also compliance with the relevant design parameters. All subdivisions or development will generally start with a topographical survey.
Want to construct a fence along the boundary? Property boundaries are not always obvious, and assumptions can sometimes lead to neighbourly disputes. While fencing or hedging may seemingly make boundary locations obvious, the true legal boundary might not be so clear. In most cases, the physical boundary pegs may have disappeared over time.
The only definitive way to identify actual boundary positions is to have a Licensed Cadastral Surveyor carry out a boundary monumentation or redefinition survey on site.
A boundary Redefinition survey is supported by a full Cadastral Survey Dataset (CSD) and submitted to Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) as a record of the peg placement.
Buildings relating to a cross lease title are usually illustrated on a supporting title document called a flats plan.
Any physical extensions or additions to a building will change these exclusive use areas and likely result in your title becoming ‘defective’. This could be an issue when coming to sell, particularly with the purchaser’s lender or insurance company.
An update is usually a straightforward process if all physical changes have been consented appropriately through Council. Contact us today to confirm if an update to your flats plan is required.
Tripp Andrews can undertake different types of construction setout surveys to confirm your construction project is consistent with the approved building consent (BC) or Engineering (EPA) plans.
We also offer continuous support throughout the construction phase to ensure the build structure is accurate and produce the required certifications to satisfy Council building inspectors / engineers.
Councils usually require several certifications for key milestones across projects by a Licensed Cadastral Surveyor.
Certification checks and letters include:
A property title described as ‘limited as to parcels’ generally means that the legal boundaries of your property have never been adequately defined by survey and are currently unknown.
To remove these limitations, a complete property survey of all boundaries is required to upgrade the status of your title. Several forms of evidence will be examined to define the legal boundaries and then illustrate on a new survey plan which will be lodged with Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) for approval. An important step in this process is to give notice or obtain informed consent from all adjoining property owners, this is a legal requirement under the Land Transfer Act 1952.
Tripp Andrews have a team of highly qualified and experienced Licensed Cadastral Surveyors that have undertaken numerous removal of limitation surveys over the years, we have seen them all!
Tripp Andrews uses high precision (sub millimetre) instruments and methodology to detect any movements or deformation in structures and landforms. Monitoring of any movement during construction is becoming frequently required by Council, our specialist team can establish appropriate site specific monitoring regimes for the total duration of any project.
Creating a new legal Right of Way (ROW) outside of a subdivision requires consent from Council under Section 348 of the Local Government Act 1974, including pedestrian access. Council will assess the proposed formation standard based on the district plan rules and may also look at the number of legal users. A new survey plan illustrating the new easement area will then be generated and lodged with Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) for approval. A legal easement for underground services doesn’t necessarily need to go via Council before being registered on a title.
Accurate aerial mapping using drones is an efficient and quick method of collecting a large amount of information over a particular area or property. The information collected is typically used for generating topographical contour maps and capturing high-definition imagery.
Farm mapping can be an invaluable tool for productivity efficiencies or environmental plan management. Take the guessing out of your agricultural operation and get in contact with one of the team today.
