Question 2

How did you decide to get into your line of work?

Accepted Answer

I loved the outdoors because I grew up in the country. I also liked maps, calculating, programming and technology. Surveying was an obvious choice. I completed a Bachelor of Surveying in 1992 (Uni SA) and a Graduate Diploma in Survey Practice in 2000 at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT)

Question 3

Do you have a favourite customer story you would like to share?

Accepted Answer

A client purchased an expensive property. He asked me for a price to check the boundaries. I discovered the fencing was grossly out of position. He was able to negotiate a new price because the contract was subject to a survey. For an investment of $1100 he saved around $100,000. Not bad!

Question 4

What do you like most about your job?

Accepted Answer

I love being outdoors, reading old maps and plans survey plans and I love the challenge that boundary surveying can provide on occasions. Some of the history behind the evolving cadastre can be fascinating.

What questions should a customer ask to hire the right service professional?

Accepted Answer

1. What are your qualifications and do you have insurance? 2. Can you give me a fixed price? 3. How quickly can it be done.

Question 6

What questions do customers commonly ask and how would you answer them?

How much for a boundary Survey? This is an obvious question but can take some time to work out. I usually start with the street address of the property which can be used to search the Lands Titles Office records for the survey plan that created the property and other relevant survey plans nearby.
