Locate boundary pegs at all legal corners of the site using 50 x 50 mm white pegs (in new sub-divisions, these pegs often have identification stamps or plates).- If the above pegs cannot be located, ask the owner to provide your company with a re-establishment survey which will re-establish the legal boundaries of the site. It is a legal requirement in the building contract that the owner must provide this survey if the legal boundary cannot be determined. If you are building in a new sub-division it is in your interests to ask for the re-establishment survey up front.
Note: Do not take the location of fences or structures built on the boundary line as being the legal line of a boundary! There may be a significant difference between the legal boundary and the actual fence line or structures.
