Professional Land and Engineering Surveyors in Perth
Established in 2017, LPD Surveys has grown from a local Mandurah operation to a multi-office team serving all of Western Australia. Our foundation in land and engineering surveying has been strengthened through strategic partnerships and acquisitions, including the integration of Driscolls Land Surveyors in 2023. With over 80 years of combined experience across our leadership team, we deliver precision and innovation in cadastral, engineering, mining, and 3D reality capture surveying. Our investment in cutting-edge technology, including UAV drones and laser scanning systems, ensures we meet modern industry demands. We maintain ISO 9001 standards through rigorous quality assurance processes and a commitment to continuous improvement.Our team of licensed surveyors and engineering professionals brings expertise from diverse sectors including mining, infrastructure, and residential development. We prioritise client collaboration through secure cloud-based project management tools for transparent communication. Our regional presence in Perth, Mandurah, Kalgoorlie, and Bridgetown enables comprehensive coverage of urban and remote locations. We uphold safety as a core value through comprehensive training programs and zero-harm initiatives. Our long-standing relationships with tier 1 contractors and government agencies demonstrate our industry reputation. We invest in mentoring cadet surveyors to maintain professional standards for future generations.

Services
Land Surveying
Our licensed surveyors provide precise boundary determination and property mapping services. Utilising advanced total stations and GPS systems, we deliver accurate cadastral surveys for land subdivisions and development projects. Our team maintains strict calibration standards to ensure measurement reliability across urban and remote locations in Western Australia.
3D Reality Capture
We create detailed 3D models using terrestrial laser scanning and UAV photogrammetry. Our sub-centimetre accuracy point cloud data supports BIM integration and infrastructure documentation. This technology enables efficient asset management and design validation for construction and mining clients across Western Australia's diverse terrain.
UAV Aerial Surveys
Our CASA-certified drone operations capture aerial data for topographic mapping and site monitoring. We process UAV-collected information into digital surface models and volumetric calculations. This technology enhances survey efficiency for large-scale projects in mining, infrastructure, and environmental monitoring sectors.
Engineering Surveys
We provide comprehensive survey support for engineering projects including road upgrades and infrastructure development. Our services cover control surveys, set-out measurements, and as-constructed documentation. Advanced equipment ensures precision in feature/contour surveys and deformation monitoring for civil engineering applications.
Mining Surveys
Our mining surveyors support exploration and production operations with DMIRS-approved tenement surveys. We deliver stockpile volume calculations, pit development monitoring, and infrastructure alignment surveys. With extensive experience in Pilbara and Goldfields operations, we provide critical spatial data for major mining companies across Western Australia.

Questions
What does a subdivision surveyor do in Perth?
A subdivision surveyor legally divides land into separate lots while ensuring compliance with WA planning regulations and local council requirements.
How do I know if my property is suitable for subdivision?
We conduct feasibility studies assessing zoning, access, and services to determine subdivision viability according to local planning codes.
How long does the subdivision process take in Perth?
Typically 3-6 months including feasibility studies, survey work, and final approvals from relevant authorities.
What is included in a subdivision feasibility report?
Reports cover site analysis, zoning compliance, potential lot configurations, service availability, and cost estimates for development.
How accurate is your 3D scanning service?
Our terrestrial laser scanners deliver sub-centimetre accuracy for reliable point cloud data used in engineering and BIM applications.
Can you create 3D models from laser scanning data?
Yes, we convert point cloud data into accurate 3D models suitable for BIM integration and design validation processes.
