What is a Peg Out Survey?

A Peg Out Survey is the process of placing physical markers (pegs) on your property’s boundaries. These markers guide builders, fencing contractors, and developers to ensure construction aligns perfectly with your approved plans.

What does a Peg Out Survey include?



Marking the exact property boundary corners



Optional offset pegs for fencing alignment 



Guidance for footings, slabs, and structural elements



A Registered Surveyor’s verification for legal and council compliance

Without a Peg Out Survey, you risk incorrect boundary placements, leading to legal disputes, rework costs, and project delays.

Why Do You Need a Peg Out Survey?

A Peg Out Survey, also refered to as a set-out survey, is a requirement for many construction projects, ensuring:



Accurate property boundaries – Avoid boundary disputes with neighbours



Compliance with council and private certifiers – Prevent costly rework



Precise fencing installation – Ensure your new fence is placed correctly



Smooth construction – Footings, slabs, and structures are built to exact specifications

If you’re building a granny flat, extensions, garage, house, duplex, or townhouse, or installing a new fence, a Peg Out Survey ensures you’re working within legal boundaries from day one.
