Build Your Lorne Home Exactly to Plan
On a sloping block, a footing in the wrong place or at the wrong level throws out everything built on top of it. Homes stepped into the hillside on piers, with retaining walls, decks and tight setbacks, leave very little margin.
Outright Surveying has set out Victorian homes and buildings since 2009, with more than 30 surveyors and licensed cadastral surveyors in the same firm. We confirm the boundary, set out the structure to the engineering drawings and measure existing homes for renovation design, so Lorne builders and owners start every stage with reliable marks.

Structural Surveys in Lorne: Common Questions
We quote from the drawings. A home stepped down a slope on piers needs more setout than a single slab on flat ground, so we go through the plans with you first and price the actual work involved.
Yes. We set out piers, footings and retaining walls in position and level to the engineering drawings, so the structure that sits on them lines up with the plans. See our residential building setout.
Yes. 3D laser scanning captures the existing house inside and out, and we can extract floor plans, elevations and sections for your architect through our architectural measurement service.
On a tight or steep block it is usually worth confirming the boundary before setout. Our licensed cadastral team can carry out a title re-establishment and check the building envelope against the true boundary in the same job.
Yes. We also carry out structural surveys in Apollo Bay and work in Torquay, the Surf Coast and across South West Victoria.

Structural Surveying for Lorne Homes and Builds
Homes Stepped Into the Slope
Have every pier, footing and slab at the right position and height. Our residential building setout works from control that can be recovered at every stage, which matters on homes built on piers or split levels to follow the fall of the land.
Decks, garages and outbuildings are set out as part of the same job.
Retaining Walls and Excavation
Cut into the hillside without leaving questions about your neighbour's property. We set out retaining walls to the engineering design, and survey monitoring can record a baseline before excavation and track any movement while work is under way.
That record is valuable if questions about adjoining property come up later.
Renovating Coastal Homes
Design your extension to fit the house that is actually there. 3D laser scanning captures older holiday homes and beach houses as they stand, and architectural measurement turns the scan into plans, elevations and sections.
That avoids designing from original drawings that rarely match what was built.
Boundaries on Tight Blocks
Build with certainty about where your boundary is. On tight, steep blocks, a title re-establishment from our licensed cadastral team confirms the lines before the building envelope is set out.
