Australia’s modern surveyors follow the traditions of our earliest surveyors.
Robert Hoddle completed the first survey of Melbourne’s CBD, and assisted in the initial surveys of Geelong and Brisbane.
Lieutenant William Dawes completed the original surveys of Sydney and Parramatta.
Personal message from Glenn (Director, Elevation Drafting):
With over 15 years’ experience in the Surveying industry, and being a qualified Surveyor myself, I understand the needs of my Surveying clients.
Celebrating our 10th year in 2023, our Outsourcing procedures are well refined and battle-hardened.
We’re here to add value to your business.
How do we do that?
Accuracy and Presentation; A Value-Adding Service
Other Drafting companies can pump out plans, no worries.
We don’t just see ourselves as Survey Drafters.
At Elevation Drafting, our difference is that we aim to add real value to your business, by producing high quality products.
Our plans aren’t just another “feature plan” or a “2 lot subbie”. They’re tools that you can use to market your business, and our mission is to work with your business to achieve that potential. Two Surveyors are better than one, right?

Some examples of our feature/detail plans
Subdivisions
We’ve had over 10 years’ experience designing and drafting hundreds of subdivisions, from simple 2-lotters through to multi-hectare staging plans.
We consult with you on the intended design outcomes, lot mixes and can offer guidance with planning overlays.
If you’re a land owner and not sure where to start, we’ll help you to navigate the maze of Australian Standards, Precinct Structure Plans and zoning overlays.

Developers Design Plans and Real Estate Sale Plans
For real estate companies and developers, the presentation of your sale plans can be the key to generating initial interest, or getting a final ‘yes’ from a buyer.
We pride ourselves on the presentation of our plans – in fact, it’s our top priority!
If you’re looking for some gorgeously-presented sales plans or some initial design plans for further development, you’re in the right spot.
