Before any block of land can be developed, a feature survey needs to be conducted. This survey provides builders, landscapers and developers with information on man made or natural structures found on the block of land and adjoining properties, and will essentially determine what development possibilities exist for the property. If you need a comprehensive feature survey completed in order to get your land development plans underway, get in touch with the experienced professionals at Melbourne Land Surveyors.
What Structures Are Typically Recorded on a Feature Survey?
Documented on a typical feature survey will be the locations and elevations of natural and man made features such as:
- Fences
- Trees
- Drains
- Utility services
- Contours in the land
- Paths
- Retaining walls
- Other building structures
- Ridge heights and eave heights
- Australian Height Datum (if necessary)
This will be for not only the specific property in question but also for adjoining and adjacent blocks of land. The information from this feature survey will enable the council, developers and architects to devise a detailed plan that they will then be able to work from, one which determines how the land can be developed.
