Craig & Rhodes, Surveyors, Engineers, Planners, was established in 1923 by Professor Alexander Donald (Don) Craig F.I.S and Mr William Lester (Bill) Rhodes F.I.S and operated from an office in Pitt St. Sydney until 1926.

In 1927 the practice moved to Langston Place Epping adjoining Epping Station and has operated continuously in Epping since that date.

Professor Craig was a Professor of Engineering at Sydney University and lectured in Field Survey and Engineering techniques from 1912.

He was also a funding member of Pennant Hills Golf Club at Beecroft and was responsible for the design and survey of the original layout in 1923. Unfortunately Prof. Craig met an early death in 1929.

Bill Rhodes continued the practice in Epping for over 40 years until his retirement due to ill health in 1961.

Both Prof. Craig & Bill Rhodes contributed considerably to the economic development of Epping & surrounding district and many of their early surveys and plans of subdivision form the basis of land holdings in the area.

Since the 1960’s Craig & Rhodes, Surveyors, Engineers and Planners, has experienced various forms ranging from employing five staff to a company of over 60 employees comprising surveyors, engineers & draftsmen in the mid 1970’s.

The current form of Craig & Rhodes was established in 1990 and has operated under the Directorship of David Bushell and Andrew Halmarick over the period to date with a staff of 31 professional surveyors, engineers and technical support all committed to preserving and maintaining the integrity and history of Craig & Rhodes.

In 2004 Craig & Rhodes merged with the surveying business run by John Nelson. The incorporation of both businesses has strengthened our role in the industry through a broader client base and the inclusion of highly experienced surveying and management staff.
