FAQ
What is a house setout in construction?
A house setout is the process of transferring your building plans onto the construction site using physical markers like pegs, paint or nails. These markers indicate where key structural elements — like walls, slab edges, footings, and plumbing — should be placed. It's one of the first steps in the building process and ensures that the structure is correctly positioned according to the approved design and boundary setbacks.
Who is responsible for doing a house setout?
A qualified construction surveyor or licensed land surveyor typically carries out house setouts. They interpret construction plans and use specialised instruments to mark exact points on the ground. Builders then use these markers to place formwork, pour slabs, and position structures. In most cases, engaging a registered surveyor is a requirement to meet council and building code compliance.
When should I arrange a setout survey for my house?
You should arrange a house setout once your building plans have been finalised and approved, and just before construction work is scheduled to begin. Having your setout done too early can risk markers being moved or removed, so it’s best timed just before slab work or excavation. Some projects may require multiple setouts throughout the build — for example, one for foundations and another for framing.
