What Does a Surveyor Report Include?, Footscray

Flat Out Surveying Pty Ltd, a leading surveying company, places a strong emphasis on delivering comprehensive surveyor reports to its clients. In this article, we'll explore what a surveyor report typically includes and why it's vital to project success.

Property Boundaries and Measurements

One of the primary functions of a surveyor report is to provide precise information about property boundaries and measurements. This section typically includes:

  • Boundary Lines: Clear demarcation of property lines, ensuring there are no disputes or encroachments.
  • Land Area: The total area of the property, often in square meters or acres.
  • Easements: Identification of any legal easements or rights of way that affect the property.
  • Land Features: Notable land features such as natural landmarks, trees, or man-made structures.


Accurate boundary information is crucial for property owners, developers, and legal purposes, ensuring that everyone understands the property's limits and potential uses.

Topographical Details

Surveyor reports also include topographical details that describe the physical characteristics of the land. This section typically covers:

  • Contour Maps: Detailed contour maps that show changes in elevation, slopes, and terrain features.
  • Water Features: Identification of rivers, lakes, ponds, or streams on or near the property.
  • Soil Conditions: Information about soil types and stability, which is vital for construction planning.
  • Utilities: Location of underground utilities like gas lines, water pipes, and electrical cables.


Topographical data assists architects, engineers, and builders in designing structures that account for the natural features of the land and helps in planning proper drainage and utility installation.
