Factors Affecting Engineering Surveying Costs

Here are some key factors that typically impact the pricing of engineering surveying projects:

  • Accessibility: If the property is difficult to access (e.g., inaccessible by vehicle, isolated area), the survey will cost more due to increased travel time and effort.
  • Location: Surveying costs can vary depending on your location. For example, the average land surveying rate in New South Wales is around $140 per hour, whereas in Queensland, it's only $95 per hour.
  • Physical Features: Properties with hills, slopes, and thick foliage are more complicated and take more time to survey, leading to higher costs.
  • Property Shape: Square or rectangle-shaped properties are simpler and cheaper to survey. Tracts of land with irregular-shaped borders are more expensive due to the complexity of the survey.
  • Property Size: Larger properties usually take longer to survey. Since surveying services are typically charged per hour, the price will likely increase with the size of the property.
  • Type of Survey: Different types of surveys (e.g., boundary, topographic, hydrographic) have varying levels of complexity and resource requirements, affecting the overall cost.
  • Project Complexity: Projects with intricate designs or difficult terrain can require more detailed surveying and increased labour hours, raising costs.
  • Equipment and Technology Used: Advanced technology and specialised equipment may incur higher rental or purchase costs but can improve accuracy and efficiency.
  • Duration of the Survey: Longer projects will naturally have higher costs due to extended labour and equipment use.
  • Regulatory and Compliance Requirements: Ensuring compliance with local regulations and obtaining necessary permits can add to the overall cost.

What Is an Engineering Survey? (Compared to Other Types of Surveying)

An engineering survey is a specialised type of surveying focused on gathering precise measurements and data necessary for the design and construction of infrastructure projects. Engineering surveys involve:

  • Topographic Surveys: Mapping the contours and features of the land to support engineering design and construction planning.
  • Construction Staking: Setting out and verifying the positions of structures and infrastructure on construction sites to ensure they are built according to design specifications.
  • As-built Surveys: Documenting the final locations of structures and features after construction is complete, providing a record for future reference and maintenance.
  • Hydrographic Surveys: Measuring and mapping underwater features and depths essential for marine construction and navigation.

These surveys are crucial for ensuring that engineering projects are accurately designed, constructed, and maintained.
