Commercial & Residential Boundary Survey
Planning to build a fence or landscape your garden? A boundary survey ensures you know exactly where your property lines are, helping you avoid disputes or encroachments. Over time, original boundary pegs can shift, degrade, or go missing.
Our licensed surveyors accurately locate or replace boundary markers and, if needed, lodge updated records with Land Information New Zealand. Whether your boundaries are uncertain or you just want peace of mind before starting work, we’re here to help. Simply fill out our “Request a Quote” form and we’ll provide an estimate tailored to your site.
Finding Your Property’s Boundary Lines
Only a Licensed Cadastral Surveyor (LCS) can legally carry out a boundary redefinition survey — and Survplanz is fully authorised to do so. As Licensed Cadastral Surveyors and members of the New Zealand Institute of Surveyors, we have the qualifications and expertise to accurately identify and mark legal property boundaries. Our surveys provide an official and reliable record of where your boundaries lie.
FAQs
What are boundary pegs?
Boundary pegs—also known as “survey pegs” or “lot pegs”—are physical markers placed at the corners or edges of a property to show legal boundary lines. They're usually positioned at ground level and must not be removed or moved, as it is illegal to do so.
What is the cost of a boundary survey at Survplanz?
Our boundary survey pricing starts from $550 + GST and disbursements for a basic road frontage survey. The final cost depends on the property's specifics. For an accurate quote, feel free to get in touch with us.
Why do I need a boundary survey?
A boundary survey clearly defines your property limits, helping avoid disputes, encroachments, and legal issues. It’s essential for construction, landscaping, or building a fence, ensuring peace of mind and legal clarity.
What’s the Turnaround Time?
Standard fieldwork usually takes 1 day. We use modern, high-precision equipment to ensure accuracy and efficiency.
How can I find my property lines?
You may be able to spot old boundary pegs near fence corners or post tops. If unsure, speak with your neighbours—they might know where the shared boundary lies. It’s best to have a Licensed Cadastral Surveyor confirm it for accuracy and legal standing.
