Industrial Subdivisions involve the survey of lands for the purposes of creating new lots for industrial developments.

Craig & Rhodes has extensive experience in preparing plans of subdivision for industrial projects ranging from small industrial unit lots to large scale lots for regional distribution centres and heavy industry.

Craig & Rhodes has extensive & demonstrated experience in the preparation of Community Plans of Subdivision for new residential housing estates and commercial developments.

These surveys involve the establishment of a Community Lot 1 which typically includes all common facilities such as roads, drainage, pools, tennis courts and club houses under the management of the Community Association.

In addition, we regularly assist in the preparation of the Community Management Statement together with the survey of the site for the provision of services, work as executed plans, accessway plans and unit entitlement plans.

Strata Title Plans of Subdivision are regularly undertaken by Craig & Rhodes for a range of development activities such as:

• villa and town house projects,      
• retirement villages,
• multi storey residential units,
• commercial offices
• industrial complexes.

The  strata survey defines the cubic space for each unit which can also include areas such as carparks & garages, court yards, atriums, lofts & balconies.

The Identification Survey & Report is one of the most common surveys undertaken by Craig & Rhodes.

These surveys are typically instructed at the time a property is either purchased or sold and are used by a lending authority to determine the site of the survey is consistent with the Certificate of Title, the extent and location of improvements on or adjacent to the land, location of any easements or restriction and compliance with Council building setbacks.

The topographic or detail survey depicts the position and level of improvements and natural features on a site.

A topographic survey is a vital component of a successful development application for any development of your land.

 We can undertake topographic surveys using a range of technologies.

Remote access reflectorless Total Stations can be used on urban &
city surveys where access is restricted. 

GPS technology can be used on large scale topographic surveys where rapid data collection allows a 3D model of a site to be established.

Engineering Surveys are undertaken by Craig & Rhodes to assist with the construction of a range of engineering works.

Typically these surveys may include:

road & drainage sewer & water mains electrical transmission lines works telecommunications towers stockpile surveys & volume determination work as executed surveys on site detention basin volume

          

Craig & Rhodes has extensive experience in the survey of  internal building space for the purpose of determining the floor or lease area of a tenancy or whole building.

These surveys are usually prepared in accordance with Property Council of Australia Guidelines and provide both the property owner and tenant with an accurate floor area for rental calculation.

Surveys for this purpose can be used to verify lease areas for rent reviews and or determination of irregular floor areas.

The accurate set out by survey of construction works and in particular buildings is essential to the management of a construction project.

Craig & Rhodes is able to provide expert surveyors who are experienced in the set out of buildings ranging from

• single residential dwellings,
• villas and town houses,
• multi storey units
• commercial buildings and
• industrial complexes.

These surveys often involve complex calculations  
based on architectural and engineering plans prior to set out.

Craig & Rhodes has the facilities and software available to manage large amounts of survey data in the field & office situation to ensure fast & accurate placement of survey marks.

Craig & Rhodes has staff experienced in the use of GPS equipment to allow large scale mapping and control surveys to be undertaken.

We have recently updated our GPS equipment to the Trimble R8
system that now allows both US & Russian satellites to be tracked.

This allows a large array of satellites to be continually monitored by the GPS system to provide improved survey accuracy and significant reduction in loss of reception in difficult terrain.

 

Craig & Rhodes has undertaken many special surveys of Supermarket shop floors for large Australian Retail businesses.

These surveys show the:

• location & level of all shop floor shelves,
• checkouts,
• cool rooms,
• columns,
• plant rooms,
• staff rooms,
• bulk heads & loading docks

The plans are prepared & supplied in electronic form compatible with Architect software to enable layout redesign.

 We also have the capability to prepare plans using Revit software to allow 3D rendering of surveys to be undertaken.

Craig & Rhodes can undertake hydrographic surveys on a range of waterway situations.

Our specialised hydrographic vessel and sounding equipment when combined with the GPS technology allows us to survey the bed of harbours, rivers, bays, estuaries and docks with accuracy and reliability.

Our surveyors have extensive experience on    hydrographic surveys having been involved in many surveys of Port Botany, Sydney Harbour, Jervis Bay and the Mid North Coastal areas.
