Surveyors across the City of Manningham

Manningham is the hilliest municipality we work in regularly, and slope changes almost everything: what fits on a block, how it drains, and how much retaining the budget has to carry.

Topography is the defining constraint here

Manningham runs from Bulleen up over the ridgelines through Doncaster and Templestowe to the Yarra. The views are why the land is valuable and why it gets redeveloped, but the slope is also why so many projects here run over budget. Cut and fill, retaining walls and overland flow all scale quickly with gradient.

A detailed feature and level survey matters more in Manningham than almost anywhere else in metropolitan Melbourne, because assumed levels on a sloping site produce expensive surprises.

What we are usually engaged for in Manningham

Detailed level and contour surveys. Enough density of levels to model the site properly, so your designer and drainage engineer can see the fall rather than guess at it.

Subdivision on sloping land. Manningham blocks are generous, which makes two and three lot subdivision attractive. Whether it actually works usually depends on driveway grades and where the retaining has to go.

Retaining wall and structural setout. We set out retaining structures and building platforms so what gets built matches the engineered design. See construction set out.

Title re-establishment. On sloping land fences wander further than they do on flat ground, and rear boundaries in the larger Templestowe and Doncaster East blocks are often poorly defined. See title re-establishment.
