What’s a Building Set Out Survey, Anyway?

Put simply, a building set out survey is like the GPS for your build. It’s how we take your drawings and transfer them into real-world coordinates on your site.

We physically mark out where things like walls, columns, footings, and services will go, so when the builders show up, they’re not working off assumptions, they’re working off exact data.

Why It Matters

Get the set out wrong, and everything that follows gets expensive, fast.
✅ Concrete poured in the wrong spot?
✅ Walls out of alignment?
✅ Non-compliance with council approvals?

You don’t want that. Neither do we.


That’s why CEH Consulting uses high-precision robotic total stations and GPS technology to make sure we’re millimetre-perfect, every time.

 

Where We Work📍

A Real-World Example 🛠️

Take one of our recent set outs in Balgownie, where the client was up against a tight timeline. We jumped in fast, had the site marked and verified within 24 hours, and the builder was able to pour the slab the next day. No delays, no errors, just results.

Outstanding service. They were quick to respond to my inquiry and quick to provide a quote. Once I approved the job the turnaround time was amazing. Great communication and very helpful to deal with. Highly recommend, very competitive pricing and would definitely do business with them again.

CEH Consulting helped us during a first time doing a house construction and subdivision. All the staff were great but Matt Smith in particular carried out all of the required surveys, redefinition plan, CDC approval, land title paperwork etc. very professionally and in a timely manner. He also offered general advice that looking back really helped us in the process as it's a bit confusing if you haven't done it before. We definitely wouldn't have gotten the project wrapped up in the timeframe we did without Matt and the CEH team. Would highly recommend.

It has been a pleasure dealing with Matthew and the team at CEH Consulting.My wife and I are based on the NSW South Coast and have used CEH Consulting for surveying work. Unlike some of the other local surveyors we approached, Matthew provided a quote for the work quickly and the quote was really fair and reasonable.Once we accepted the quote, the team was on-site shortly after and the surveying was completed a lot faster than we expected. The surveying team were very polite and courteous, and easy to deal with.The surveying plans/documents produced were spot on, with no issues. When I had to drop off the signed documents to the CEH office (while wrangling a very grumpy two-year old!), the reception staff were wonderful and really helpful, even getting the door for us on the way out.Throughout the entire process, Matthew and the team were responsive in their communication and very efficient. With Matthew's experience in the industry, he was able to guide us along the way, which was greatly appreciated given our inexperience.Overall, for anyone undertaking a subdivision/development and seeking quality service, we could not recommend CEH Consulting more highly. Thank you for a hassle-free experience

Very happy with the service provided by CEH. We needed a detail survey of our entire lot which contains many retaining walls, trees and difficult to access parts. I submitted a request to quote on 21 August 2023, inspection took place 8 Sept 2023 and we received the survey on 20 September 2023. I obtained 3 quotes and CEH were by far the best value. The report formats are PDF and .DWG files which I can now provide to the design engineers. I would use CEH again and will be recommending CEH to my friends and family.
