Faction Land Surveying

Our team recently completed a water main 🚰 as-built survey at The Hermitage, Mt Cook Village.

This was a big day out from Christchurch — around 14 hours on the road and on site — with a tight timeframe made even more challenging by the need to establish our own site control before completing the survey work.

As-built surveys are essential for recording the accurate location of underground services before they are covered over. This information helps contractors, engineers, asset owners, and future project teams know exactly where critical infrastructure is located.

We finished the final GNSS control survey in the dark, but not without capturing the accurate data the project needed.

A challenging site, an incredible backdrop, and another job delivered by the Faction team.

📣📣Christchurch property owners, designers and builders — this one is worth noting.

Christchurch City Council is making changes to its practice around **Topographic Survey Plans**, also commonly referred to as **site level plans**, so that almost all applications within the urban area will require a topographical plan from a Surveyor.

For many projects, accurate site levels are a key part of the early design and consent process. They help architects, engineers, builders and property owners make informed decisions around drainage, floor levels, earthworks, access, boundaries and overall site feasibility.

Getting this information right at the start can save time, reduce redesign risk, and help keep your project moving.

At Faction Land Surveying, we provide clear, accurate site level information for residential, commercial and development projects across Christchurch and Canterbury.

Need a topographic survey or site level plan for an upcoming project?

From a topo in Twizel to an as-built at Hokitika Airport ✈️, we've been all over the place, keeping busy. Mint weather in Hoki was the 🍒 on top!
