Knockdown-Rebuild + Detached Granny Flat
This residential development involved the demolition of an existing dwelling and the construction of a new two-storey home with a separate detached granny flat on George Street, Parramatta NSW 2150.
The site presented several surveying challenges, including two road frontages, multiple existing site features, mature trees and a boundary adjoining the Parramatta Light Rail corridor.
East West Surveyors provided surveying support across multiple stages of the project, from initial property investigation and boundary work through site preparation, construction set-out, level checks, drainage work and final documentation.
The project demonstrates how accurate surveying can support a residential development from the earliest site investigation through to construction completion.

Established Residential Property
The property was an established residential site in Parramatta with an existing dwelling and several features that needed to be accurately documented before redevelopment could begin.
The site had two separate road frontages and two driveways. It also contained mature trees, existing structures, fences, retaining elements and visible services.
The property's position alongside the Parramatta Light Rail corridor added another important consideration. Accurate site control, boundary information, pre-construction documentation and monitoring were therefore important components of the surveying work.
The proposed development also included two separate residential structures: the principal two-storey dwelling and a detached granny flat.
Key Site Constraints & Solutions
How our surveying teams navigated the technical complexities of this Parramatta redevelopment.
Two Road Frontages
The property had access from two separate roads. This meant both frontages needed to be considered during the surveying process, including kerb and gutter levels, vehicle crossings, driveway grades and relevant road reserve information.
Existing Site Conditions
The existing property contained an established dwelling, fences, mature trees, driveways, retaining elements and visible services. Accurately documenting these features provided the design and construction teams with a reliable representation of the existing site.
Parramatta Light Rail Interface
The property was located directly alongside the Parramatta Light Rail corridor. The proximity of public transport infrastructure increased the importance of accurate site control, boundary information, pre-construction documentation and movement monitoring during demolition and excavation.
Two Residential Structures
The development included both a new two-storey dwelling and a detached granny flat. This required accurate construction set-out and level control for both structures, particularly around setbacks, floor levels and the relationship between the proposed buildings.
Project Stages & Service Delivery
We grouped the 15 required surveys into 4 distinct phases to align with the builder's workflow, ensuring spatial data was delivered exactly when needed. Click each stage to view specific survey cards.
Initial property investigation, legal title verification, and design base mapping prior to site disturbance.
Identification Survey
Carried out to locate the existing dwelling, outbuildings, fences, and other structures relative to the title boundaries.
Boundary Re-establishment
Researching the Deposited Plan (DP), recovering survey marks, connecting to survey control, and identifying property corners.
Detail & Level Survey
A detailed topographic survey capturing existing dwelling footprint, ground levels, trees, fences, retaining structures, driveways, kerbs, and visible services.
Tree Survey
Located and measured site trees and relevant adjoining trees, recording trunk positions, heights, and canopy spreads.
Service Location
Surveying visible utility infrastructure (sewer, water, gas, stormwater pits, electricity) combined with DBYD search records.
Dilapidation Survey
Detailed photographic and structural documentation of adjoining properties, public kerbs, and the light rail boundary interface before work started.

Project Outcome & Spatial Certainty
East West Surveyors supported the George Street residential project from initial site investigation through construction and final documentation. By delivering precise data at each development step, we eliminated boundary doubts and streamlined structural sign-offs.
The structured surveying phases provided reliable spatial coordinates for builders, ensured proper drainage setups, and produced verified final records for council compliance.
Key Deliverables Achieved
- Reliable spatial information for architectural design
- Absolute boundary certainty with re-established property pegs
- Accurate site levels mapping for earthworks calculation
- Construction set-out for main dwelling & granny flat
- Slab, frame and roof level verification
- Stormwater layout and on-site detention (OSD) set-out
- Final Work-as-Executed (WAE) compliance drawings
