Surveying questions and answers
What can I do with my land?
We will explain the entire subdivision process and what you can do and can’t do. We explain what’s involved, who does what and how many consultants are needed. Sometimes there may be negative consequences of doing something, which may be able to be avoided.
How much will a survey cost me?
We can quickly give you an Estimate of how much all this is going to cost you. We provide details of when it is due. When we start a subdivision, all of the details and costs are set out for you in writing.
How much profit will I make on a subdivision?
Your land will increase in value. Our past experience with clients tells us that their land values increased between 20 percent to over 100 percent. Of course this can vary from situation to situation. Our policy is not to proceed with any subdivision unless it is profitable.
Our clients often ask, “Will there be taxation on profit?” The answer to this can vary. We will show you where to obtain expert advice on possible taxation implications.
What do I need to do?
Clients often ask, “How much participation is required from me in this process?” As the client, you can do as little or as much as you want to. We find clients have a variety of needs in this regard. We can organise the entire process for you, which includes dealing with:
-
Council
-
Supply Authorities
-
Lawyers
-
Real Estate people
-
Contractors
We provide a total package to service the entire subdivision through to completion.
If you do not know what you want, we can suggest various options, which may simplify things for you. Our company always looks to the future to make sure that the consequences of subdividing today will not jeopardise the subdivision of tomorrow.
Will my needs be met?
Because we are systemised, nothing is left to chance and you can be assured that we will meet all your needs. Our core policy is to be up front with every single customer. From this we have established a reputation to be a trustworthy, honest and highly reputable company. This will allow you to sit back and enjoy the experience.
How can I fund my subdivision?
You may feel limited by not having sufficient finances for your subdivision. We can explain how to manage your cash flow to meet your goals and when you will receive a return on your investment.

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.
Stuart Rattray
CEO
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.
Mike Petersen

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.
Denise Dakins
CEO
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.
