What does a surveyor do?

New Zealand Qualified Surveyors have been trained in a variety of fields. These include Cadastral (Land Title) Surveying, Civil Engineering, Land Law, Planning, Measurement Science, Geographic Information Systems, Industrial Measurement, Earth Deformation Measurement, Hydrographic Surveying, and Cartography (Map Making). Most Surveyors then tend to specialize into some of these fields. For example, our business primarily undertakes Cadastral Surveying, Planning and some Civil Engineering work. These also require a reasonable knowledge of New Zealand Land Law. We have undertaken surveys to monitor buildings (for deformation) and monitor settlement of earthworks, stockpile measurements to determine volumes, and providing expert witness evidence for measurements in the District Court.
