Land Surveying, sometimes referred to as Cadastral Surveying, is an important service that underpins the way land is owned, managed, and developed. At its core, Land Surveying involves the precise establishment, measurement, and documentation of property boundaries, easements, and related land interests. These surveys are essential not only when transferring property ownership or registering a new title, but also when confirming the location of existing boundaries or re-establishing boundary pegs that may have been lost over time. By providing this clarity, Land Surveying helps protect property rights, resolve boundary disputes, and support responsible land use.

​

When subdivisions or boundary adjustments are involved, surveyors carry out a formal Land Transfer Survey, which includes detailed field measurements, the mapping of the land, and the identification of any encroachments or discrepancies with the current title. Official survey plans are then prepared for submission to Land Information New Zealand (LINZ), ensuring that all property boundaries are legally recognised and accurately recorded. This process gives landowners, developers, and councils certainty and confidence in property dealings and future development.

​

Land Surveying has certainly evolved over the years. What once required theodolites, steel chains, and teams of assistants clearing bush tracks is now carried out with cutting-edge technology. Today, Buckton surveyors use satellite-based GPS positioning, advanced Total Stations, laser scanning, and even UAVs (drones) to capture highly accurate data in the most efficient way possible. This blend of traditional expertise and modern innovation allows surveyors to deliver reliable results for everything from small residential sites to large-scale infrastructure and land development projects.
