Difference between Site Plans and Site Surveys

A site plan is a remote survey conducted on your site from online sources such as satellite imagery and government data. It is a quick way to capture the features of your site to scale, interpreted by professionals without having to physically survey the details of your property.

A site survey is a CAD document provided by a certified land surveyor who has physically conducted a detailed on-site survey of your property with professional tools. It is an official document that declares the features of your site to be true and accurate

A Site survey is the most accurate form of measuring your site information, however it can be costly, time consuming and not always required if your site plan drafted by a registered professional.

You do not always require a survey conducted depending on your intended use. A site plan can be a quick and cost effective method to describe your projects without being millimeter accurate. It is an accepted form of document for most small projects as long as a certified professional has prepared the drawings.

Common uses are:

• Planning Permits
• Small projects such as decks, pergolas and sheds
• Granny flats
• Building permit approvals
• General project planning
