ARE you building, extending, subdividing or contemplating a knock down and rebuild? Then you will need the expertise of a licensed land surveyor. Nobelius is the largest single office cadastral survey firm in Victoria. Founded in 1996 by Rob and Chris Nobelius, today the growing firm is led by Rob, son Ben and third director, Tim Walker. All three are licensed surveyors. Nobelius, which is based in Pakenham, has made a name for itself primarily in small scale unit subdivisions. “Our skill set and cliental have recently grown and our involvement in large scale greenfield development is steadily increasing,“ director Ben Nobelius explained. “Focusing on the Eastern and South Eastern metro suburbs as well as the Mornington Peninsula, Bass Coast and West Gippsland regions, our projects range from single house builds to large 2000 plus lot developments.“ Surveying is an important but little understood part of the building process. Whether you’re building on a brand-new allotment, have bought in an established area and are unsure of the fence locations, wanting to rebuild/extend or looking to venture into a land or unit development, you’re going to need a Licensed Surveyor. “We are the link between design and construction,“ Ben Nobelius said. NEW ALLOTMENTS “The advice we give people first of all is to buy a shovel and tape measure, find your Title pegs and then measure between them to check against your Plan of Subdivision,“ Ben said. “If they cannot be found or if there are any discrepancies contact a Licensed Surveyor who can sort it out. “More often than not builders will place the responsibility on the land owner to provide the Title pegs in the correct location in order for them to start works, so it is always advisable to get this sorted as soon as possible so site works are not delayed. “We can re-establish the true Title location and provide marks for builders. This is accompanied by a plan signed by a Licensed Surveyor detailing all the com.au
marks left onsite, the fencing and its direct relationship with the boundaries as well as the boundary and easement details and dimensions.“ This document can be used as legal evidence in a dispute. REBUILDING or EXTENDING The most common domestic surveying work is Title Re-Establishment and feature and level work. A surveyor needs to be engaged from the outset so the designer has a starting point. “We go out initially to map the existing conditions; services, trees, driveways, buildings, ground slope, etc. then the designer will use that as a base to design something for the land in regard to its specific opportunities and constraints. “Once the design is completed and the necessary approvals are gained, it is then back to the surveyor to show a builder where the proposed works are located on the site.“ DEVELOPMENT Much like the ‘rebuild or extend’ it all starts with a surveyor providing an existing conditions survey to show a designer and council the current opportunities or constraints that exist. After the design is completed and approved, the subdivision process can start. This is again where you will need a Licensed Surveyor. “Within this process we work closely with the client, council and the servicing authorities. This can be an arduous process and early advice from a Licensed Surveyor is always great to set expectations.“ Staying true to its roots as a family business, the team at Nobelius is focused on customer service, maintaining great relationships with authorities and councils, staying abreast of technology and giving back to the community. “Over the years we have built a strong family-orientated culture that we’re very proud of. Our strong culture also has a clear focus on how we can help,“ Ben said. “Recently we’ve participated in the Relay for Life and we fundraise for schools, community groups and charities and are setting up a scholarship for disadvantaged students through a local primary school.“ ● pakenham.starcommunity.com.au
