Our builder has asked for us to get a boundary survey before we start. We have a 850 sqm block and will be set back 4m from the side boundaries. Seems pointless really.
Do other builders require this?

Even if you have a tonne of clearance on either side or the back. It was in the contract for ours...that if it hadn't been surveyed and no pegs were in place, we'd be responsible for it prior to any works commencing. Luckily ours had just been subdivided and the survey pegs were still in. I've seen a few people on here have to get surveyed with KDR especially, and land that might not have been subdivided recently, ie: pegs more likely to be missing. Re: Boundary survey 3Jul 05, 2014 7:48 pm I can understand why they would require it if you are building on the boundary. However, when you are set back 4 metres, the risk seems negligible.

I guess they just want to make sure their i's are dotted and their t's are crossed and apply the same rule to everyone, irrespective of the distance to the boundary. Have you had a chat to them and seen If they might give you some leeway, consider the distance?
