Your trusted Northern Beaches Surveyor | CMS Surveyors

For the past 22 years we’ve worked with some of the most prominent and highly esteemed architects, planners and engineers on the Northern Beaches on projects big and small.

We’ve also worked extensively with Northern Beaches Council. We’ll make sure you’ve got everything you need to move forward with your project, while keeping in line with the Northern Beaches Council’s requirements.

We know that building on the Northern Beaches can come with specific challenges. Our experience in dealing with boundaries that fringe waterways, our often steep and rocky terrain, subdivisions, zoning requirements and other unique environmental or legislative considerations means you’ll get perfect plans for your project.

What Northern Beaches locals are saying about CMS Surveyors

“The CMS team has been fantastic to work with! They responded very quickly and completed the work very efficiently.”

Tony LiuRob Mills Architects

“An excellent experience. I engaged CMS to mark out fencing boundaries. I found them to be competitively priced, responsive and did a very professional job. I would happily use them again for any similar jobs.”

Ian Nicholson Northern Beaches Resident

“The CMS team are responsive and professional. The lead times on quotes and surveys are quick and I have always had a positive experience with their customer service team and surveyors. I highly recommend CMS and will continue to recommend their service to my clients.”

Sophire WrightPlan and Simple

We recently had CMS Surveyors complete a survey of our property and a more detailed survey of retaining walls so that the construction could be justified to Council. The CMS service was prompt and professional and the completed survey plans have supported our case presented to Council. We would recommend CMS to anyone seeking their services.

We support local.

The Northern Beaches isn’t just where we pick up tools. It’s where most of our team call home, so we’re passionate about helping our local community to thrive.

We’re proud to be sponsors and supporters of a number of local groups and organisations such as the Manly United Football Club, Narraweena Hawks Junior Rugby League Football Club, and The Dee Why Surfing Fraternity among others.

Every year we take part in the Lifeline Classic Surf Competition, raising funds to support their mental health crisis line.

Nurturing the next generation of young surveyors is something we’re passionate about too, so you’ll often see us presenting to STEM students, or taking work experience students from local high schools like Northern Beaches Secondary College and Mater Maria Catholic College.
