NLC conducts every land survey using a three-stage process. Stage I Record Research, Stage II Field Work, and Stage III Analysis and Map/Report Creation. This three-stage process is followed to ensure that our opinions are complete, accurate, and robust. The sub-processes of each Stage may vary depending on the type of survey being conducted.
Stage I Record Research
Record research is key when conducting any type of survey, especially a boundary retracement survey. While most surveyors obtain the vesting deed, and some surveyors follow the chain-of-title beyond the vesting deed, it is not usual for surveyors to do a cursory Stage I, thus missing boundary line agreements, trial court cases, and other important conveyances. Without a thorough Stage I, it is impossible to conduct Stage II or Stage III properly.
In this MM session, Tony discusses how NLC conducts Stage I and some of the key processes that are often overlooked by boundary surveyors.

Young Surveyor, Ryan hails from South Africa. He is a Surveyor who has travelled to Australia with his wife who was 31 weeks pregnant. Coming from nothing & not being able to pay for university, he had a two year gap before going from his dream of Architecture in High School to enrolling in Cartography. After enrolment, Ryan decided to covert his studies to Surveying. We discuss how companies are not investing in the future generations. The education system in South Africa and the similarities and differences between the countries. The Power of LinkedIn where he got spotted by a recruiter while working with the company he was employed by until he decided to make the move to Australia on a 457, 2 yr work visa working in regional Australia. With a few false starts he and his pregnant wife took the plunge to move to Port Macquarie working on the W2B Project (Pacific Highway upgrade for 1 yr) in Yamba before moving and settling in Bathurst NSW. He is the father of 2 young boys, both born in Australia and where he & his his beautiful wife now call Australia home, while still maintaining their African roots and contacts with friends and family back home in South Africa.

I got to sit down and have an impromptu chat with Jemma Picco, Registered Cadastral Surveyor (Land Surveyor) and her role as the Principal Surveyor at the Department of Resources in Queensland. Amongst all things surveying we also discussed the importance of mentoring formal or informal and being in the position of role model for younger surveyors. We talked about finding old trees and survey marks from surveys in the far north of Australia to managing a team of surveyors.
Growing up in Brisbane, attending an all girls school where her careers advisor handed her a book and said look in this section to find you career... From there Jemma attended Queensland University of Technology completing a double degree.

Born and Bred on the North Shore of Sydney, Dave Lovell, our quiet mild mannered Director and Surveyor at CMS Surveyors talks about how he ended up in Surveying, from mining Engineering to running a company, with over 80+ staff with life long friend. On the soap box about technology eradicating mentoring and training but making surveying easier and more accessible. Touching on the importance of lifelong learning, knowing your stuff, being a mentor not just a surveyor and what you need to grow your business.
Some cracker one liners were quoted, "Have the right Mindset & you will get far, find the right company for you and Never be Afraid to be Challenged" …
Lastly, Don’t get stressed on the little things!
