Surveyors in Hawke’s Bay

WHAT IS DIFFERENT HERE

Hiring surveyors in Hawke’s Bay

Napier's art deco and Spanish Mission housing needs work done sympathetically and often needs it done to old, non-standard dimensions, while the newer Hastings and Havelock North stock is straightforward. Cyclone repair work is still in the mix. Say the age of the house — it changes who is right for the job.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Do Napier and Hastings businesses cover both?
Most do — it is a twenty-minute drive and the two run as one market. Central Hawke’s Bay is further and a small job there may carry a travel charge, which the quote states.
My neighbour and I disagree about the boundary. What now?
A licensed cadastral surveyor is the only person who can define a legal boundary in New Zealand. They locate or replace the survey pegs against the survey record, which is the answer that carries weight.
How long does a subdivision take?
Months rather than weeks, and most of it is council process rather than survey work. A surveyor will usually walk you through the stages before you commit, which is worth having in writing.
What is a licensed cadastral surveyor?
A surveyor licensed to define legal boundaries and lodge survey plans with LINZ. Not every surveying job needs one, but boundary and title work does.
Do I need a survey before building?
Often, for a site plan or to confirm setbacks and heights, and councils frequently ask for it. Cheaper to find out at design stage than after the foundations are in.
