Need underground service locating?
The Landair team can locate underground utilities and add this data to our existing condition plans.
Feature and level surveying services
Before you can design, build or plan, you need to know exactly what’s already on site. Feature and level surveys give you a complete picture – including terrain, building, above-ground services 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 identifies:
- 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.

Who needs feature and level surveys?
Whether you're designing a building, upgrading infrastructure or putting together planning documentation, feature and level surveys give a current and accurate view of everything that exists on and around the site. That information is essential to:
Architects and heritage specialists
- Capture terrain, structures and constraints to inform design
- Support planning applications with up-to-date site data
- Enable BIM-ready models with real-world dimensions
Engineers and construction professionals
- Establish a base plan for design, excavation and setout
- Understand site constraints or risks before tendering
- Verify existing infrastructure and identify site access issues
Government and planning authorities
- Assess road, parkland or reserve upgrades
- Plan drainage, lighting, paths and infrastructure
- Coordinate existing assets with new capital works
Property developers
- Validate constraints before acquisition
- Prepare subdivision plans based on existing conditions
- Support utility and easement coordination
What do you get from feature and level surveys?
Our deliverables are tailored for use in planning, design and construction workflows. Common outputs include:
- CAD-ready 2D plans (in DWG and PDF) showing accurate site representation
- 3D models and registered point clouds for integration into your software
- Surveyor-certified plans, where required for submission
- Optional georeferenced imagery overlays for additional context
