The firm organises its work around the stages of a development rather than a flat menu of services. Pre-construction covers contour surveys, detail and boundary identification, preliminary subdivision and strata plans, pre-allocated plan numbers, and internal building surveys, which are the deliverables a DA or CDC submission usually turns on. The construction phase brings peg-out surveys and volume of excavation. Occupation certificate work covers Work as Executed plans, including substation WAE, identification surveys with reports, and final survey reports. Registration work then handles plans of subdivision, consolidation, redefinition, delimitation and easement, Section 88B and 88E instruments, transfers granting easement, net and gross lettable area calculations, and dual occupancy plans.
Lodgement is kept in-house as well. The team prepares, collates and submits documents to local councils, NSW Land Registry Services, and the Strata Certifier, which spares clients the signature and sequencing requirements each of those bodies applies separately.
Scale is the practical difference. C&A runs more than 60 staff and over 25 surveyors from its head office at Level 2, 30 Grose Street in Parramatta, so a job does not stall because one surveyor is committed elsewhere. Every plan passes a three-step internal QA review before it leaves the office. The Survey Express option carries a guarantee of attendance on site within 72 hours of a confirmed booking, and the C&A Connect portal gives clients live job tracking, progress alerts, and download access the moment a survey completes. Quotes are fixed and issued upfront, backed by a price-beat guarantee against a comparable written quote.
Local knowledge counts for a lot in Parramatta specifically. Development there sits under the Parramatta Local Environmental Plan 2023 and the matching Development Control Plan, which set the setback, height, floor space ratio and heritage controls that determine what survey work a proposal actually requires. The CBD contains numerous State and local heritage items and adjoins conservation areas including the World Heritage-listed Old Government House and Domain and the State Heritage-listed Lennox Bridge, where boundary identification demands additional care and often specialist reporting alongside standard deliverables. Under both DA and CDC pathways, NSW land surveys must be carried out by a surveyor registered with the Board of Surveying and Spatial Information, and lodged plans must satisfy Land Registry Services technical standards. C&A works across the range in this market, from residential boundary identifications to multi-storey setouts and commercial subdivision registrations throughout the City of Parramatta Council area.
