Understanding planning & consulting
Early surveying advice can help identify what information your project team needs before design, subdivision or construction progresses. Start with the decision you are trying to make, the property information available and any advice already received.
SurveyWorx can discuss the survey stages and plan preparation relevant to your proposal. An initial discussion can distinguish existing information from further investigation and work needed from other advisers. It should not be treated as a guarantee of feasibility, planning approval or a particular development yield.
Prepare your planning & consulting enquiry
To scope your planning and consulting enquiry, provide:
- The property details, title and available survey information
- A description or sketch of what you want to achieve
- Planning advice, consent conditions or written requests already received
- The decision or next project stage you need the advice to support
A detail survey may provide the site information needed for design. A draft subdivision plan can support discussion of a proposed layout. Explain the intended use before commissioning either, and agree the scope of advice and deliverables.
FAQs
Our answers to your questions.
When is an early surveying discussion useful?
It can be useful when you are unsure which survey or plan is needed for the next project stage. Send the available property information and explain the decision you face. SurveyWorx can discuss survey-related requirements and identify questions for your other advisers.
Can consulting confirm how many lots I can create?
The answer depends on the property and the full planning and project assessment. Share the proposed layout and advice already received. Do not treat an initial survey discussion or preliminary drawing as confirmation of a development yield or approval.
What will the consulting scope cover?
Agree the questions to be addressed, records to review and any written advice or plans required before the work begins. Identify assumptions and information still needed from other professionals so the role of the surveying advice is clear.
