Feature & Level Survey

A feature and level survey is required for design and planning approval of any type of building or infrastructure development. It provides land topographic information and important existing site features for building and drainage design carried out by Architects, Structural Engineers, and Civil Engineers. A feature survey often includes the following information:

  • Contours of the land, either in RL or AHD
  • Existing manmade features on site, including buildings, retaining walls, fence, drains, utility services, and details of direct neighbouring properties
  • Site vegetation cover including locations, canopy span, and height of trees

Civiltest provides cost effective feature and level survey service by using a combination of traditional surveying equipment, RTK GPS, and drone technology. Both efficiency and accuracy are embedded in our workflow.
