Fast, accurate surveying.

Surveying is both science and art, a profession
dedicated to investigating and recording land and structures to make maps, plans and detailed descriptions.
It takes a special person to be a great surveyor. You need a mad passion for technology, a relentless desire to drive pegs
into the ground, and the ability to turn complex information into an easily understood and usable format.
We love surveying and that’s why it’s in our name.
Our Services.
Subdivision
Subdivision is the process of dividing a parcel of land into two or more or more individual parcels, with each parcel having a separate title.
It’s a great way to increase the value of your property, enabling you to free up cash from a fixed asset or to increase the value of land for sale or development.
Our team of experienced surveyors have completed numerous residential, rural, commercial and unit title subdivisions including large scale projects with complex requirements. We’re specialists and can show you how to maximise the value of your subdivision. We’d love to be humble about it, but we’re really good at what we do.Land Surveying
Surveying is an essential step in land development and provides the foundation for every successful project.
Accuracy and detail are critical for building, boundaries, council requirements and for getting the best use of your land. We understand you just want to get on with life, so we’ll provide fast, accurate information and advice. While we haven’t surveyed every piece of land, we’ve completed every kind of land survey possible… many, many times. We understand the different requirements of councils and what they need to make sure you can move forward with your goals. When the details matter, and they always do, we’re the ones to call.Resource Consents & Planning
If you’re planning to move your boundaries, carve off a lifestyle block, put up a new shed, or draw water from the nearby creek, chances are the council wants a say in it.
That’s where we come in. We know the rules, the people, and how to get things moving without turning it into a saga. Our planning team can handle resource consent applications when you’re wanting to change the way land is used, create any kind of subdivision, or make changes to the use of a property. We’ve been at this long enough to know what works (and what doesn’t), and we make the process faster, smoother, and a whole lot less stressful for you.Aerial Mapping & LiDAR
We don’t just walk the land; we fly it too.
Using LJAV (drone) and LiDAR technology, We provide you with high quality imagery and 3D data for your site. It’s perfect for topographical surveys, design work, volume calculations, horticultural mapping, or when you can’t (or don’t want to) venture into the mud yourself. Our fleet of UAVs are equipped with survey-grade GPS, meaning we can map even the most inaccessible areas without any loss of accuracy. This saves you money as the job can be done in a much shorter period of time, making the job quick, safe, and efficient. As certified CAA Part 102 operators, we legally and confidently undertake complex airspace and challenging sites, ensuring reliable results for you. Get in touch with us to see how Mav and Goose can utilise their Top Gun skills on your job.Laser Scanning & BIM Modelling
When you need full area capture accuracy down to the millimetre, we bring out the big guns, our laser scanner.
We can measure over a million points per second, capturing every nook, cranny, and dust mite to create a precise digital twin of your structure. Buildings, bridges, tunnels, heritage sites. You name it, we’ll scan it. It’s ideal for when you’re upgrading or modifying industrial plant, modifying building internals or just trying to make sure the new bits fit the old ones. We scan all those difficult, hard-to-reach spots safely from a distance. No scaffolding, no guesswork, no dramas. Once captured, we turn that sea of points into detailed CAD models you can use for design, documentation, verification integration within your platform. From infrastructure construction to heritage building conservation, it’s faster, safer, and far more complete than traditional methods. Laser scanning ensures you don’t miss a thing, not even that slightly wonky beam or missing bolt.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Had a great experience with Seamus, made my subdivision process very smooth and simple. Very professional service and very easy to deal with. Also helped me get an exemption from the $12K contribution payment to Hastings Council!I’m a very satisfied customer!
Nick was a great help and support throughout the subdivision process. Always quick to respond to calls and collaborated well to chase up subcontractors with me as required. Would thoroughly recommend Nick and the team at The Surveying Company to any future potential clients.
Fast, efficient and reliable. Delivered what they proposed.
From start to finish, Nick was amazing to deal with, he talked a language that I could understand, he was very professional while being very user-friendly. I would strongly recommend him to anyone wanting to subdivide. I’d like to take the opportunity to thank him for all the help he gave throughout the process, thank you Nick, you made the process very easy for us.
We are very happy with the service provided by all of the people we have dealt with at The Surveying Company, thank you.
Nick Wakefield did a great job through a difficult time with COVID and everything that went with it. There were many delays with the project outside of Nick’s control. A project that should have taken months took years, but Nick continued to steer the project and followed up when he could.
The level of service and expertise we received during our land subdivision using Nick and The Surveying Company was outstanding. Nick was always prompt, responsive to our many queries and fully supportive for us throughout the whole process. I would recommend Nick and The Surveying Company to anyone seeking this type of expertise and advice.
The Survey Company H.B. recently completed a subdivision of our property.
The exercise was both a pleasant and positive experience with their approach always professional – relatable, open and obliging and communications, timely and comprehensive.
From the outset Nick and staff were very approachable and professional. The process of subdividing was clearly explained and all costs laid out before starting so there were no surprises. We really appreciated Nick’s patient answering of all our questions and extra advice when we also decided to add in easements for power. The surveying staff were friendly and respectful when on site and we would have no hesitation in recommending The Surveying Company to others. Many thanks to Nick and team.
