Feature and level surveying services

Before you can design, build or plan, you need to know exactly what’s already on site. A feature and level survey gives you a complete conditions plan – capturing terrain, building, above-ground services, vegetation and surface detail.

Also known as existing conditions surveys, topographic surveys or detail surveys, these are strategic datasets tailored to your specific project needs and technical requirements.

Why they matter to your project

If your project involves design or development, a feature and level survey is one of the first – and most important – surveys to complete. It captures and documents existing site conditions, including:

  • Surface features – Kerbs, fences, driveways, retaining walls, surface pits and signage.
  • Levels and topographic details – Contours and spot levels, with scale-appropriate intervals.
  • Structures and buildings – Roof outlines, awnings, stairs, ramps and building footprints.
  • Vegetation and environmental features – Tree locations, canopy spread, watercourses and embankments.

Need underground service locating?

The Landair team can locate underground utilities and integrate the findings into your existing conditions survey — giving you a complete picture above and below ground.

Need boundary or cadastral surveying?

Landair’s registered land surveyors can verify or re-establish title boundaries and easements — perfect for pairing with a feature and level survey in Melbourne or Sydney.
