Cadastral and Title Re-establishment Surveying Services
Boundaries define everything: what you can build, who owns what and where services go. That’s why you need certainty backed by surveying precision.
When you’re building close to a boundary, acquiring land or trying to avoid disputes, Landair’s cadastral and title re-establishment (or ‘boundary’) surveying services give you a verified understanding of what the title says and what’s actually on the ground.
Why they matter to your project.
Cadastral and title re-establishment surveys don’t just “tick a box”. They unlock the next stage of your project.

What do you get from cadastral and title re-establishment surveys?
Our cadastral and re-establishment surveys go beyond a standard boundary sketch, and unlike some providers, we explain the results. Depending on your needs and state-specific requirements, we can provide:
Certified survey plans for title registration, council submission or dispute resolution
Reinstatement of marking boundaries on-site using appropriate survey marks
Reports documenting occupation, encroachments, easements and anomalies
Digital data in your required formats, aligned with your CAD or spatial system
Subdivision-ready base plans, with cadastral layers for development or asset planning
Clear communication, flagging risks, conflicts, or constraints before they cause delays

- We work fast, without cutting corners, to avoid holding up your project.
- We’ve handled projects like yours and resolved all types of site conflicts.
- We’re licensed across states and don't subcontract critical work.
