Dual Occupancy Surveying
What is a dual occupancy development?
A dual occupancy development generally involves two dwellings on one property, subject to the applicable planning controls and approvals. The specific arrangement and approval requirements depend on the site and proposed design.
Why is surveying important for dual occupancy construction?
Surveying helps establish required positions and reference points on site. Depending on the project, survey work may support boundary checks, building set-out, pile positioning and other construction requirements.
What is construction set-out?
Construction set-out transfers specified positions from project plans to the physical site. Builders and contractors use this survey information to identify the positions required for relevant construction work.
What is pile set-out?
Pile set-out identifies the required pile positions on site using the relevant construction plans and survey information. The scope and level of detail depend on the project's engineering and construction requirements.
What is pier set-out?
Pier set-out identifies the specified pier positions on site for construction. The surveyor works from the relevant design information and instructions for the project.
When should a surveyor be involved in a residential development?
A surveyor may be needed at different stages, from checking existing property information to setting out construction positions. The required services depend on the design, site conditions and project programme.
