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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have used C&A Surveyors for the first timer and they were super efficient. The cost was comparable to other surveyors, but they were much quicker to get the job done. I would definitely recommend them to future customers and use them again myself.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with C & A Surveyors was pleasant, professional and efficient. Sam Anjoul helped me all the way as I was an owner builder and had very little knowledge of construction. They are the cheapest in the market but the service is really very good! Highly recommended! Thanks so much!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As Landscape Designers, we need to know we are referring good people. C&A are great communicators - text message stating a fee proposal is on the way and then that the surveyor is on their way to site. The surveys are reasonably priced and as the end users - we know that they are well drafted and easy to use. Highly recommended!
