construction Setouts


What are construction setouts?

A construction setout can be anything from frame setouts on the slab for carpenters, blockwork or pier setouts, retaining walls or anything yourself or trades may needs.

The plans we need are:

  1. Approved working drawings

  2. Subdivision plan or Title plan

  3. Re-establishment plan

We get your project off the plan and onto the ground to make your dream a reality.

SETOUTS WE OFFER

  • No matter the size of the project, we can help with surveying this block to get the accurate boundaries marked and then positioning the unit setotus within.

  • Whether its a knock-down rebuild (KDRB) or an extension we can help. Our main area is Metro-Melbourne but we can travel further for POA.

  • No project is too big or small, get in touch for a quote.

  • We’ve setout and surveyed many retirement villages throughout Melbourne. Contact for a quote.

  • This establishes where your sitecut needs to be completed within your block. Sitecut happens before a setout.

  • We can re-visit after our setouts completed and other trades work, to ensure the house is all correct and none of our pegs have been disturbed.

  • Let’s get your beautiful new pool in the right spot.

  • Building a new shed? Let us help you position it

  • 1-3 working days

  • We service mainly Metro Melbourne; East, West, North South-East. We can travel regional for POA

  • Yes - a Re-establishment Survey (resurvey) establishes the boundary of the block and ensure it accords to the Council. We use this boundary to then position the house/units/pool in the exact location needed with a setout.

    We offer resurveys and setouts from a Licensed Surveyor.

  • Unless you request FFL’s (finished floor levels), you will not receive them. Your concretor may request an FFL mark, and if so, let us know so we can organise.

  • For the setout we peg out your external walls for the house based off your site and ground floor plan you present us. Your trades can distinguish which peg is which by referring to your plans. We don’t label pegs unless requested, as it is not standard procedure.
