A feature and level survey is the accurate existing-conditions base plan that good design starts from. HR Surveyors produces feature, level, detail and contour surveys for Adelaide sites from our office at 28 Peachey Road, Edinburgh North, backed by 70+ qualified professionals and 12+ years of surveying since 2012. We capture site detail and levels, then deliver CAD-ready plans for architects, civil engineers and South Australian council submission. Working under ISO 9001 and tying control to MGA2020/AHD where scope requires, we give design teams a measured base that de-risks decisions on layout, drainage and earthworks.
We record existing structures, fences, visible services, trees, access points, spot levels and contours across the site. This detailed picture of surface and feature data is the foundation architects and engineers use to design accurately rather than from assumptions.
Survey data is delivered in CAD-compatible formats prepared for direct use by design teams and for South Australian council development submissions. Clean, well-structured deliverables keep design coordination efficient and reduce back-and-forth over data quality.
We map levels, access, drainage indicators and visible site constraints so the design team understands the context early. Identifying grading, fall and stormwater considerations up front helps de-risk design, drainage and earthworks before plans are committed.

A feature and level survey records visible existing detail and ground levels, such as structures, services, trees, access, spot levels and contours, as a base plan for design and development. A boundary survey is a cadastral activity that defines or certifies legal property boundaries. They answer different questions and HR Surveyors provides the former, not the latter. For design, drainage, earthworks and development applications, a feature and level survey is the survey design teams and councils actually work from.
A feature and level survey typically includes existing structures, fences, visible services, trees, access points, spot levels and contours, with the level of detail tailored to the brief and council requirements. We deliver the result as a CAD-ready plan that architects and engineers load directly into their design workflow and that supports the existing-conditions information councils expect with a development application. An accurate base plan reduces design assumptions, drainage surprises and the risk of redesign later.
A typical residential or small commercial site involves roughly one day of fieldwork, with CAD deliverables usually following within a few business days. Larger sites, dense vegetation, difficult access or detailed council requirements can extend both stages, while time-critical programs can often be prioritised. We confirm a realistic timeframe once we understand the site size, terrain and detail required. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote based on your specific site.
