How design projects work

From first measurement to approval

Design projects run in fixed-fee stages. You can stop after any stage, so there's no big commitment up front.

  1. Site and feasibility reviewWhat can be built, where, and what could stop it: setbacks, flood levels, sewer and easements.
  2. SurveyContour and detail, boundary, or a 3D scan of the existing building.
  3. Concept designLayout options drawn on your real survey, not an old plan.
  4. DA or CDC documentationDrawings, consultant coordination and lodgement on the NSW Planning Portal.
  5. Construction supportSet-out, height checks and work-as-executed surveys.

We're here to help.

One local team takes your project from the first site measurement to DA or CDC lodgement. Our registered land surveyors, civil engineering and building design work side by side across Ballina, Byron Bay, and Lennox Head, so nothing gets lost between consultants. Formerly Kennedy Surveying, the practice carries more than 35 years of North Coast survey history.

Whether you’re a homeowner building your dream home, a developer contributing to the community, or a government agency, we’ll match the right survey, design and approvals work to your project.

Daniel Surveyed our home in preparation for an extension. The 3D technology gave us an incredible insight into the space we were working with and allowed us to consider ideas we would never have thought of.  His service was professional and the price was extremely good value. I would highly recommend!
