Building Set Out Survey Services in NSW
Our Building Set Out Services Include:
- Marking out of footings, slabs, walls & columns
- Alignment for services (stormwater, sewer, etc.)
- Grid line & structural axis layout
- Offset markings for excavations
- Real-time compliance with council plans
Whether it’s for a house extension or a commercial build, we tailor the survey to fit your project.
We know that even the best building plans mean little without accurate execution on site. That’s where our Building Set Out Survey Services come in, bringing your architectural plans to life, one pin-pointed mark at a time.
Whether you’re laying a driveway or constructing a multi-storey development, we make sure everything lands exactly where it should, quickly, professionally, and with no second-guessing.

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
We provide building set out surveys across:
- Wollongong & Illawarra
- Sydney & Greater Sydney
- Southern Highlands
- South Coast NSW
…and beyond.
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.

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. Peter Buffington27/08/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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. Federico O24/06/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Greate and professional service! Highly recommend CEH.
